Ok, Oh GPC & make masters...

I was a good little boy & spent the best part of a day downloading GCC-2.8.1 and GPC-19980830. This is what I did & the error I got...

Background Info: RH Linux 4.2 with GCC 2.7.2.1

1. gunzip GCC & GPC
2. untar GCC into /usr/src/gcc-2.8.1
3. untar gpc into /tmp/gpc
4. in the gcc source dir make a link ln -s p /tmp/gpc/p

[...]

make[1]: entering directory '/tmp/gpc/p' make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../configure', needed by 'Makefile', stop.

I'm not sure, but ISTR that building GPC doesn't work with a symlink, because then `..' points to the wrong directory, and the GPC Makefiles use `..' a lot.

So you might want to try moving the GPC directory below the GCC directory.
