Hi ALL Please see below. My sincere apologizes for sending back mail to gcc-help for my earlier queries. I will do so henceforth.

Tried that and still had the issue. Later found that CONFIG_SHELL was exported as bash instead of /usr/bin/bash. So when I ran the make and it created the "as" as shell script, it had #!bash instead of #!/usr/bin/bash. This caused it to get all worked up. When I changed it to #!/usr/bin/bash, it worked fine. Now off I go to see if I can complete this.
