Thanks for the reply. I was actually trying to build the CVS HEAD version.
I built that this afternoon for x86_64-linux without incident.
Seems like parts of the GDB code just won't compile with GCC 4.6
complaining about C++ adherence problems (parts of the simulator) and
after repeatedly patching them I eventually had to give up. I assume
that an older compiler (maybe GCC 3.4 or 4.3) would accept that code
however it's harder to get them built for a dual-arch (x86/x64) environment.
Over the past few days, there has been quite a bit of brokenness in the
simulators. Developers are working to sort it out. See, for example:

about the most over the past week.]
Does your problem sound anything like that? [It doesn't really, but
without actual log of the build, it is unwise to commit. :-)]
Have you tried building the CVS HEAD with newer GCC? I wonder if you'd
be encountering the same issues.
I'm using gcc version 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) (GCC). This is
the Fedora 15 system compiler.
