He specifically mentioned the FSF version. He is probably trying to
build
gcc 2.7.2.2 , already having gcc 2.7.2.1 binaries. 

FWIW : Do you know if the "DJ cooked version" actually compiles out of
the package ,
or are you simply saying that it *should* ? 

I tried unpacking v2gnu/gcc2721s.zip and compiling it more or less just
for fun. 
First attempt , "make" crashed with an out of memory error. Solved that
by removing 
SHELL= line from makefile.

Next attempt failed building libgcc.a , text overflow or something.
Solved by removing
-g from CFLAGS and trying again...

Finally created xgcc.exe  ...
However , make stage1 fails , must move files manually to stage1
directory ...

Trying to follow directions in INSTALL file for stage2 compile , almost
works ,
some automagically generated batch files have / instead of \ which
finally causes
make to halt again ...


Again , all of this is with the so called "DJ cooked version " ...
