Proposed fix

Bootstrapping 4.7.0 on an HP-UX 11.00 system fails with

[...]
echo timestamp > s-options
awk -f /home/src/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/opt-functions.awk -f /tg/freepor
t/src/gcc/gcc--4.7.0-tera/gcc/opt-read.awk \
               -f /home/src/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/opth-gen.awk \
               < optionlist > tmp-options.h

 The error context is
