GCC 3.3.6 building 3.4.4: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES

["Rowan Potgieter" <baldo dot forum at gmail dot com>]

I recently (in the last 30 minutes) changed my native compiler from
GCC 4.10 - the version that comes with SuSE 10.1 - to GCC 3.3.6
I installed it as follows:

rm -rf gcc-3.3.6
tar xvzf gcc-3.3.6.tar.gz

rm -rf gcc-build
mkdir gcc-build
cd gcc-build

../gcc-3.3.6/configure ${PREFIX} --enable-languages=c,c++

make bootstrap
make install

Then I tried to build GCC 3.4.4 as part of the arm-linux toolchain
unfortunately I hit the following error:

checking float.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: float.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: float.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?

make: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1

is this related to the compilers configuration? or is this error
related to something else?
I've attached the build script in case anybody wishes to view it
Thank you
