Funny, funny, I can't get this stuff working 8-). To make sure having a clean
start I downloaded egcs-1.1b.tar and egcs-1.1b-pgcc-1.1.diff again from
ftp.fu-berlin.de. Because Marc mentioned a "bad" patch-program (on my
distribution, S.u.S.E-Linux 4.2, there is patch-2.1) I tried patch-2.5 AND
patch-2.5.3, but I ended up with the same error message at the same position.
I'm going mad, hehehe! 

Here is the 'configuration' of the machine I am working at the moment:
Linux-PC-100MHz (S.u.S.E-Linux 4.2)
Compiler gcc-2.7.2
libc.so.4.7.6
libc.so.5.2.18
patch-2.1 (now patch-2.5.3)
gzip-1.2.4
bunzip-0.1pl2
....what else could be informative?


Any ideas?


Joerg
