Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: GCC3.1 bootstrap fails

["Brian Webb" <webbb@desertscenes.net>]

I think I may have found at least part of the problem.  I noticed that on
my other gcc-3.0 profile machines, texinfo couldn't be emerged.  It turns
out that texinfo is masked.  Texinfo is a required system package in the
gcc-3.0 profile and it's masked the package.mask, which obviously is not a
good thing.  If I unmask texinfo my existing systems are happy, but I
haven't tested it on a bootstrap yet.

P.S. Sorry about the run-on emails.  I really have to figure out why
Squirrelmail is running all my paragraphs together!!!!
