The patch was for egcs-1.2 branch, which was later renamed gcc-2.95. I
didn't realize you were working with egcs-1.1.x, sorry. The fix for
egcs-1.1.x is quite trivial actually. Look in gcc/objc/Make-lang.in
and go to: 

  # Platform generated information needed by ObjC runtime
  objc/runtime-info.h: cc1obj$(exeext)
	  echo "" > tmp-runtime
	  echo "/* This file is automatically generated */" >$@
	  ./cc1obj -print-objc-runtime-info tmp-runtime >>$@
	  rm -f tmp-runtime

Now you can add something like the following:

  CC1OBJ = `$(CC) -print-prog-name=cc1obj`
  # Platform generated information needed by ObjC runtime
  objc/runtime-info.h: cc1obj$(exeext)
	  echo "" > tmp-runtime
	  echo "/* This file is automatically generated */" >$@
	  $(CC1OBJ) -print-objc-runtime-info tmp-runtime >>$@
	  rm -f tmp-runtime

Details left as an exercise ;-)

Or, just copy over the runtime-info.h from cross-build directory
to the canadian cross after make aborts and restart.

Mumit
