I have figured out that alike error message pops up when I try to execute a
symlink,
but I am not sure if it is the only situation which causes such an error.
Anyway, I have made a script which replaces a simlink with the copy of the
file it
refers to, and converted all symlinks in /bin directory.  GCC build
directory, however,
doesn't contain any symlinks -- executables only.
So I still get that error message.
Anyway, I tried `make install' and it succeded and I can compile C programs,
but
stlibc++ haven't compiled.
Any suggestions, or should I simply compile an alternative STL, STLPort, for
instance?

Yours sincerely,
Vsevolod.
