Attention Please,

I am attempting to install the GNU C++ library (libg++-2.2) on a 
sun3 (sunOS4.1.1) but so far I'm failing rather miserably.  After 
reading and re-reading the README file and the libg++.texinfo file
provided with the distribution, I believe I have followed the 
installation instructions as faithfully as I can.  I should note 
that the GNU C compiler (gcc-2.2.2) installation was done some
time ago and has been functioning properly.  Moreover, BISON, GAS, and
GNU make (latest versions) have similarly been installed and operational. 

I would like to provide you with a transcript of my attempts at 
installation as well as the error messages returned and see if perhaps 
you can offer suggestions.  The name of the machine is "right" and
the transcript below includes the directory as the command line prompt.

   right[/usr/local/libg++-2.2]> ./configure sun3 -prefix=/usr/local -target=sun3
   right[/usr/local/libg++-2.2]> Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/libg++-2.2

   gmake[1]: *** [_G_config.h] Error 1

Note that when I ran "gmake" I redirected output to a file.  The contents of
that file (gmake.out) are:

   echo "# !Automatically generated from ./functions.def" "- DO NOT EDIT!" >needed2.awk
   grep '^DEFVAR(' < ./functions.def | sed -e '/DEFVAR/s|DEFVAR.\([^,]*\).*|/\1/ { printf \"#ifndef NEED_\1\\n#define NEED_\1\\n#endif\\n" }|' >>needed2.awk

As you can see, the installation did not preceed very far before the 
failure occurred.  The script "./utils/gen-params" was resonsible for 
printing the error message that "nm failed to find FUNC in dummy.o!" but
since this error happened after the assembler error 
   "as: error (/usr/tmp/cca15307.s:34): Invalid operand"
then I guess the actual problem occurred prior to running the script.  
Unfortunately, the file "/usr/tmp/cca15307.s" did not exist after "make"
terminated so I cannot easily provide you with this apparently offending file.

Hope you can help me out.  Please let me know if you require more information 
or files, etc.

Thank You,
