	I would like to point out that it is possible to build a compiler
that is very buggy by not following the proper procedures.  The first time that
I built it, I only compiled the modules in the g++ distribution, and linked
this with the object files that were generated when I built the comparable
version of gcc.  The resulting compiler would work - some times - and it had
all sorts of strange problems from occasional compiler crashes to spurious
results.  Interestingly enough, a few modules would compile correctly, as
evidenced by the fact that the output was correct.

	Once I figured that I had done something wrong, and rebuilt the
compiler properly, and I have had very little difficulty since.
