[oe] gcc-4.1.2 compile breaking in OE stable for powerpc

[Welch, Martyn (GE EntSol, Intelligent Platforms)]

Hi all,

I have just tried compiling gcc 4.1.2 to allow native compiling on top
of one of our targets.

I'm getting the following error:

Googling threw up some old mails concerning "cache-amnesia.patch",
however this is already being applied.

I am using the org.openembedded.stable branch, with the "angstron
2007.1" distribution (though this seems to be building "angstrom
2007.12-r18") and compiling for the powerpc arch.

Have I got something configured wrong/ are others able to confirm this
works for them?

Martyn
