GNU CC

[Alex S. Crain]

	gcc-1.28 as introduced yet another bootstrapping problem, in its
relationship to cc, something to the effect of

	expr.c: Compiler error at line XXX: Parameter stack overflow.

I have no idea what a "Parameter stack overflow" is, but I think that gcc has
finally convoluted itself past the reaches of the stock /bin/cc for good. This
means that all future versions of gcc will have to be bootstrapped by a gcc
executable.

	The immediate fix is to score gcc-1.2[456] which does not irritate
this compiler bug, and then bootstrap off of that. The long term fix is to
make a gcc binary available for ftp/uucp access. Unfortunately I am not in
a position to do that at the moment, but I'm working on it. Based on the
volume of mail that I get concering gcc, this seems a worthwhile endevor,
and I would ask that archive sites consider offering this service. gcc 
binarys run about 600K total.
