I have made small progress getting dhog's GCC to compile itself.
Briefly, I needed a "mv" that did not barf on a "-f" option, a copy of
"head" I stole from NetBSD and a fresh version of "gmake".

I used APE, a "mkfile" and the 3.81 sources of gmake to produce
"/386/bin/gnu/make" which is an improvement on the version in the
"gnubin" archives.

I'm not sure whether anyone would actually want the "gmake" at this
stage, or later when the exercise is more advanced.  If you do, let me
know, I'll dump it on sources.

PS: I'm stuck with a "too big" situation right now, I'll look into it
tomorrow.  I'm proceeding to stage 2, hoping to get the entire "make
bootstrap" to complete before I'm confident I can release a fresh
archive and tackle a more recent release.  If anyone actually knows
what was changed in GCC to produce the archive, I could use whatever
documentation can be sent my way.
