gcc42 fails to build

Further to my last email on this, I installed binutils and got  
exactly the error you described, then deactivated binutils, cleaned  
gcc42 and tried installing gcc42 again, and it worked fine.  See if  
you can do a clean install of gcc42 after deactivating binutils.  If  
that works, it would be great if you could file a ticket about the  
problem (if you do, don't forget to put yourself and the maintainers  
of binutils and gcc42 into the Cc: field on the ticket, as the  
MacPorts Trac installation doesn't currently forward automatically to  
the reporter or assignee).

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
