When trying to build gcc42 on a powerpc G5 I get the error below. I looked in the mail archives and saw that, at least on Intel, the binutils port causes gcc42 build failures. I do not have the binutils port installed. I also tried using build.args='-j 1', but without luck. If there isn't a known solution, I'll go ahead and open a ticket, but any advice would be appreciated. This is all on 10.4.10, G5, macports 1.442.
