Hi,

Crossbuilding gcc-4.6.2 for rtems targets succeeds on Fedora 15, 16,
openSUSE-11.4 and 12.1, but fails with this error on Fedora rawhide
(aka. Fedora 17):

Poking around inside of the build-trees, I found this difference in the
GCC-generated sources between Fedora 16 and rawhide, which I am inclined
to believe to be related to this breakdown:

Any ideas about the cause?

I've opened a bug for this issue:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51969

It only happens if you try to build gcc-4.6 with gcc-4.7 on my machine.

This applies in my case. rawhide's native gcc is a gcc-4.7 variant.
