Just a quick followup. gcc 2.7.2.1 now builds with only one problem
under DU 4.0 -- comment out line 198 in gcc-2.7.2.1/cp/errfn.c
/* extern errorfn sprintf; */
There are also a few problems in the below summary on libg++
The ftp site listed no longer contains the fixed file, and the correct
file to tweak is "Regex.cc" not "Regx.cc" and the line to comment out is
<ctype.h> and not <stype.h>
