While doing a ``make -DWANT_AOUT world'' I'm seeing the following:

===> libgcc_r
c++  -O -pipe -march=pentium
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/config
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc -I. -fexceptions
-DIN_GCC -D_PTHREADS
-I/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/cp/inc -nostdinc++ -c
/usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc_r/../../../contrib/egcs/gcc/cp/tinfo2.cc -o tinfo2.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:4188: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.section'
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Questions:
- Is it just my (two) systems? (cvsupped today, regular make world == fine)
- I don't understand the wording of the most recent paragraph:

        Note cc -aout has been broken since the conversion to egcs.  If
        you have rebuilt things like XFree86 a.out libraries, you should
        rebuild them again or things (including netscape) will not work.
 
If it's true that cc -aout is broken (.section in an a.out .o file? Hm.), how
can one rebuild things like XFree86 a.out libraries, when make world fails?

Sorry to bother y'all but apparently I'm klewl3ss today...

Thanks,
