I recognise this. You get this error if you move a gcc 2.95.2 toolchain
from where you specified it be placed when you built it i.e. the --prefix
and --exec-prefix paths. As a short term measure you could set soft-links
from the --prefix/exec-prefix paths to where you now have them on your
P-233 machine.

The alternative is rebuilding the tools on your P-233 machine in the right
place. Or building a gcc snapshot which has magic to make the toolchains
relocatable - but you don't want a gcc snapshot, trust me :-).
