The culprit here is indeed /bin/sh on the IBM RT's.  We replaced /bin/sh with
the Korn Shell a long time ago.  I built gcc-2.0 out of the box with no such
difficulties.  I have made my binaries available via anonymous ftp from
appenzell.cs.wisc.edu.  Anyone who is having trouble building gcc-2.0 on the
RT's is welcome to pick it up.

Hope it helps,  ...Tim
