If you are building languages other than C, you must follow the instructions about invoking `make bootstrap' because the native OpenServer compiler will build a cc1plus that will not correctly parse many valid C++ programs including those in libgcc.a. You must do a `make bootstrap' if you are building with the native compiler.
