In gcc 1.35.98, the code generated by genextract for insn-extract.c aborts
on illegal insns with a call to abort().

In gcc 1.35.99 this has been replaced by a call to
fatal_insn_not_found(insn), a function which is now provided in gcc's
toplev.c

If you attempt to build a g++ based on gcc-1.35.99 (using the genextract
from that release) cc1plus fails to load because the function
fatal_insn_not_found is not provided by the g++ toplev.c.

I believe diffs for an appropriate patch to g++'s toplev.c would be:
