Hi.

The current CVS make produced the fatal error in the job.c file this
morning while the 'make install' process of installing the latest GCC
build was happening. The install failed during the installation of the
libstdc++ libraries and headers. A 'cvs log' and 'cvs diff' indicates
this error message has just been added to job.c.

Also, 'make' seems to be using much more memory than the 3.80 version.
I can run 'top' and see make using 70+ Megs of memory when a GCC build
is running, and in addition executing 'make install' on a completed GCC
build takes a long time to actually begin installing things, where the
older 'make' binary begins the installation process very quickly. I'm
running on i586-pc-linux-gnu using Debian unstable, so the system make
installed as /usr/bin/make is Debian's 3.80-9 package.

Thanks.
