binutils 2.12 fails to bootstrap on sunos 4.1.4

[jason andrade]

Hi,

I'm trying to build binutils to see if i can use it to bootstrap
gcc 3.1 (which also doesn't build on sunos 4.1.4).

The platform is a SS10 running SunOS 4.1.4 with all the appropriate
OS patches applied.

I am trying to build binutils 2.12 using gcc 2.95.3 (which doesn't
build out of the box but with various fixes was persuaded to build
by someone else).

I've tried building binutils with the Sun cc that comes with the OS
and it dies much earlier in the piece than when using gcc.

I am happy to provide ssh access to the machine if someone needs that to
help debug the problem.
