No, I'm on 64-bit Arch Linux, though I've also reproduced with 32-bit
Arch Linux.  gcc is version 4.4.1.

It's possible that part of my build toolchain is broken after a recent
update, but I have no idea where to begin looking.

I'm planning on doing some shell tracing to get more verbose output,
but haven't gotten around to it yet.

The best hit I get in a Google search is the archive of this thread.
:-)  Other hits are for extremely old versions of gcc and not likely
relevant.

BTW, the "forbidden targets" message appears when I build 4.1.1 for
darwin-ppc too, but compilation does not fail.
