Hello,

While just trying to go from stage1 -> stage2 on my Sun I am stuck while compiling libtool-1.5.2-r3 which always aborts with:

I worked around this problem by starting from scratch. Using the stage2-sparc64-20040210.tar.bz2 file (also ~sparc) libtool compiled fine.

Thanks for the followup. Nice that you got it working!
