Well I poured over the logs from the build but saw nothing that would jump out at me. So I went ahead with a build minus ada and ga and the results are reasonable : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2013-03/msg02413.html I'll have another try on a few other servers and maybe I can get a respectable build with go and ada. No promises. Too much of this is well beyond my ability to track down. Thanks for the reply and looking. Dennis
