When I tried to build jdk 1.3 using the bundled gcc 3.2.2, it crashed
producing a gcc.core file. 

I installed gcc 3.2.3 and, when I attempted to build jdk 1.3, it ran for
an hour and crashed with a message that the jdk 1.3 maintainer says
means that gmake crashed (there was a gmake.core file).

Attempting to build jdk 1.4 produces the same result (it runs a little
longer before it crashes).

The result transcripts are huge, so I haven't included them in this
message. Any suggestions?
