Hi Eljay,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I tried to build gcc in an empty directory as mentioned in
configure.html, but I got the same error.
Commands I used to build gcc are :
cd /users6/chaos/greg
rm -r gcc-4.2.1 usr
mkdir usr gcc-4.2.1-objdir
gtar xvzf gcc-4.2.1.tar.gz
mkdir gcc-4.2.1-objdir
cd gcc-4.2.1-objdir
../gcc-4.2.1/configure --prefix=/users6/chaos/greg/usr
make
Now, there is no need to patch the compare target in the Makefile.

Hi Grégoire,
./configure
Unless something has changed for 4.2.1 that I'm unaware, this is not
supported -- and not recommended -- as per the configuration instructions:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
I do not know if the warnings you are running into are related or not.
If you want to try to configure and build in a different directory from the
source tree directory structure, you will need to un-tar the source fresh,
since the GCC source may be in a corrupted state.
HTH,
