	This is not a gcc problem.  There is a corrupt tar reader on the
rootimage-0.95a distribution that will mangle gcc 2.1 to give you the results
that you have observed.  You need to obtain a new tar reader, and my
recollection is that there is a good one in the fileutils.tar.Z distribution.
Once you have done this, re-install gcc 2.1, and your problems (with gcc)
should go away.
