Problems with gcc when trying to build base on MacOS-X

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

I'm trying to build the base library on MacOS-X 10.3 (Panther).
I want to build for the gnu runtime, so I was trying to build and  
install the recommended version of the compiler - gcc-3.2.2, but the  
processs fails when the newly built compiler is being used to build  
libgcc.

I have configured it as follows (config.status) -

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
./configure  
--with-gcc-version-trigger=/Users/richard/Desktop/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/ 
version.c --host=powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0  
--enable-languages=c,objc,c++ --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared  
--enable-target-libffi --norecursion
# using "mh-frag" and "mt-frag"

The compiler buuild falls over like this -

/Users/richard/Desktop/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/xgcc  
-B/Users/richard/Desktop/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/  
-B/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0/bin/  
-B/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0/lib/ -isystem  
/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0/include -O2  -DIN_GCC    -W -Wall  
-Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -isystem  
./include   -g -DHAVE_GTHR_DEFAULT -DIN_LIBGCC2  
-D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED  -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./config -I./../include   
-DL_divdi3 -c ./libgcc2.c -fexceptions -fnon-call-exceptions -o  
libgcc/./_divdi3.o
/var/tmp//cc0Bnh7Y.s:1236:section difference relocatable subtraction  
expression, "LFE2" minus "LFB2" using a symbol at the end of section  
will not produce an assembly time constant
/var/tmp//cc0Bnh7Y.s:1236:use a symbol with a constant value created  
with an assignment instead of the expression, L_const_sym = LFE2 - LFB2
make[2]: *** [libgcc/./_divdi3.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

This implies that there is a problem with the newly built compiler ...  
it can't compile libgcc etc.
Anyone know about this problem and how to fix it?
