I guess I should know that a file named after the old Soviet Union would
be troublesome (-:

I just built GCC 2.1 on a SPARCstation-1, SunOS 4.1.2.  Used

	configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1 --target=sparc-sun-sunos4.1

For a twist, I used the Sun C 1.1 "acc" compiler for the bootstrap phase.

The first thing that happened was that the Sun unbundled "as" swallowed all
available swap space (12 or so Mbytes!) while assembling into cccp.o.
OK, so I have to get out of X to compile this thing.  I do the rest of
the steps, including the `make CC=stage2/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage2/"' step.

More worrisome:

poseur:2:23 % cmp -l cccp.o stage2/cccp.o
177291   0 243
177292   0 243

Is this a "known problem"?  It sounds like a FAQ candidate, but I didn't see
a FAQ lying around ...  Bottom line: should I care that they miscompared?
