[gentoo-user] unable to compile gcc 4.5.3-r1

Hi.  I am unable to compile gcc 4.5.3-r1 -- I get the following error
when doing so:

mkdir -p -- x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libgomp

See `config.log' for more details.

I have searched google and looked at bugs.gentoo.org, but no joy.

I am running unstable amd64 gentoo.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
