[Bug regression/24662] New: gcc unable to bootstrap and build as 64 bit binary

[tom_gall at vnet dot ibm dot com]

In the past with 3.3 and 3.4 gcc could be build as a 64 bit binary on ppc64.
gentoo-ppc64 as a distro is a full 64 bit environment. 

I've been doing some early explorations on gcc 4.x for our next release of
gentoo-ppc64 and found that gcc no longer is able to bootstrap or even build in
a pure 64 bit environment. 

As a request could we get this functionality back? 

As an added bonus I would appreciate if we could bootstrap a bi-arch (aka
multilib) 32/64 compiler from a pure 64 bit environment as well. This is also
not possible today.

I'll give that whirl...  I think I was mistakenly using --disable-biarch!  :-/

fresh subversion code + right param seems to fix it ...  least for the pure 64
bit case. I'll get to the multilib from 64 bit case in a few days.
