ok....

apologies if i started off with what seems like a difficult topic.

so far i have managed to install the latest binutils, coreutils, make, texinfo and all works fine. The --version shows the latest is installed. Now... i need to install the latest GCC compiler. The one that seems to be recommended is version 4.2.1. I tried to install this and i got as far as configuring it but when i type make it displays all this info but seems to fail at one point later on. It displays the following

/tmp/ccacyMlE.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccacyMlE.s:72: Error: no such 386 instruction: `stmxcsr'
/tmp/ccacyMlE.s:90: Error: no such 386 instruction: `ldmxcsr'
/tmp/ccacyMlE.s:119: Error: no such 386 instruction: `fxsave'
make[3]: *** [crtfastmath.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gcc-4.2.1/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc'
make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gcc-4.2.1'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gcc-4.2.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

anyone know where i have gone wrong or what i need to do to correct this?

thanks again

Mani
