Linking errors_(re)

According to Vadim Aleksandrovich Denisyuk:

This is probably a "vpath" problem.  The GPC FAQ says:

8< ---- begin (* FAQ *) ------------------------------------------------

Help! linking `gpc1' fails: `_emit_string_move' undefined (and more)

   If linking `gpc1' bombs out with an error message that looks like
   this:

         ld: Undefined symbol
            _emit_string_move
            _emit_string_pad
            _maybe_find_function_data
            _dbxout_set_type_status
            _version_flag
         *** Error code 1
         make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `gpc1'

   you probably suffer from a VPATH make problem. A few GPC source files
   have counterparts with identical name in the GCC source directory.
   When you have built GCC in the GCC source directory and you are not
   using a recent version of GNU make this problem may occur. There are
   three solutions:

    1. Get a recent version of GNU make. Version 3.74 or better is known
       to work.
    2. Build GCC in a seperate directory instead of using the GCC source
       directory.
    3. Manually delete these files from the GCC object directory:
       `stor-layout.o' `dbxout.o' `expr.o' `fold-const.o' `optabs.o'
       `convert.o' `function.o' `setop.o' `toplev.o' then resume `make'.
