Okay,  I think I figured this out on my own.  I got it to compile but I 
think there is a problem somewhere in libstdc++.a and I don't know what to 
do with it. 

I think what we have here is a symbolic link problem with the make utility 
that involves libstdc++.a cause when I took a closer look at the error I 
saw the message about libstdc++.a.  I decided to take a closer look at 
libstdc++.a and saw I had two - libstdc++.a and libstdc++.a.2.10.0 but 
there was a noticeable bytes size difference in the 2.  I did a less on 
libstdc++.a which was only 29 bytes and saw the word symlink and thought 
okay maybe this is a bad symbolic link (we have been making changes to this 
haven't we????) And so I renamed libstdc++.a and then copied 
libstdc++.a.2.10.0 to libstdc++.a and then tried the make again and voila - 
my make completed.

Got any thoughts on this.  This is by the way on a Win95 Laptop using all 
current versions based on setup.exe.
