Well, this was my first stem in rectifying that...

That's what I was thinking, which is why I was trying to compile pgcc for
glibc...

At this point in time, that is looking like it's going to have to be an
intermediate step maybe.

I'm running a Slackware 3.4 (base) system. It had GNU 2.7.something
originally. I replaced that with pgcc 1.0.3 long ago though. Then just
recently I replaced that with pgcc 1.1

A few days ago then I decided to get glibc as some programs I want need
it, so I used pgcc 1.1 (for libc5) to make my glibc (following the glibc
howto) and then I figured it would be good as a first step probably to
redo my compiler with it, just to be safe. Hence the reason I was trying
to compile pgcc 1.1 (glibc) with pgcc 1.1 (libc5)

Hmm.. This leaves me in something of catch 22 now. I need a glibc compiler
to compile a glibc compiler, but there is no precompiled glibc compiler
available with which to do so... 

Do I have to do a cross compiler than as an 'intermediate' step?
