RE: Followup: building gcc 3.x (3.2.x or 3.3.x) on Alpha 164SX

[Arkadiy Chapkis - Arc <achapkis shells dls net>]

  You're welcome, I am happy to of any help to someone.
As far as your question - I found that I'd have to re-build binutils with newer
gcc 3.3.2, as some of other compilations may fail. You shouldn't have to worry
about re-building gcc, because the regular gcc build goes through 2 stages -
one is building compiler itself with your current compiler, and second -
building a new compiler, that will get installed using freshly built compiler.
