I got around it by making stage1 and using stage1 to make everything the
next time around (enquire.c is a fp diagnosis utility that is not needed
very much, and you can use an old one to get by until you get the first
working pass of GCC 2.4.x up).  Once you have a working 2.4.x GCC, you
should be able to compile enquire.c with it.
