I had ALL the same experiences that you speek of using DELL's Sys Vr4.?.

1.   The warning messages don't hurt anything.
1.5. It seems that that C compiler doesn't like '^L' in the source file?
     I just editted it out.
2.   The hard-parms.c error requires you to edit that file and take out the
     define for 'long double' types (just define them a plain double).
     hard-parms.c is rebuilt by the Makefile, so run make and edit the file
     after you get the error and then re-run make. (Seems like there were 2
     places in the file where you had to do this?)
3.   Now I was able to re-compile gcc with itself, but the '-g' option is not
     supported under Release 4 (at least not yet).  So no debugging - your code
     has to be perfect (like mine %^#^(*^&$&).
