Well, here is the answer...

    The following files in the snapshots ( so far ) have changed quite a bit since the
b20.1 source tree was released:

        include/opcode/i386.h
        include/dis-asm.h

This caused the following program to fail when it was building.
        gas/config/tc-i386.c

My guess here is that the source tree at cygnus has been updated with the source for
updated tools  ( i.e. gas, and probably others. )  Since  the snapshots are taken from
this (cygnus) tree,  there is not a clean install of snapshots onto the original b20.1
tree because of mismatched versions of tools..

When I replaced the files above with the originals from the b20.1 distribution, all
compiled OK.

What files do I need to update my tree to the complete cygnus tree including any updates
to any of the tools...
