Thanks, Kai. Where do I get tools.zip? I would have thought the zip file would be in the tarball. But after I untarred gcc-4.4.0.tar, I told the workstation to search the whole hard disk for tools.zip. It couldn't find that file. Now I'm waiting for building to end abnoramally, so I can show everybody part of the typescript file the machine is creating.
