I've lot of experiences in building JCC & co did it x-times...
My experiences led me to the approach to reinstall EVERY thing of JX
including medic and it's components. ( When something is new)
I cleaned my /usr/lib from all JX components. I opened and exported my
private lib directory.

Also I added the uncomment of J_DIE_ON_WARNINGS
and the compiler switch -fpermissive, if this is really necessary??? (gcc-2.95.X)

After unpacking all I sent a make linuxppc5 and all went through without
any problems. CC worked and Medic too. 

Shortly I had a mail discussion with a guy here from Zurich about
building JCC (only cc) and at first he wasn't able to get it to work.
Later he reported that he had to remove the built makemake etc. So my
guess would be: rm -r JX-1* and unpacking the whole stuff again
including the build process. 
BTW on PBG3 250 it doesn't take hourS only about an hour...

This I did on various machines from standard LinuxPPC5 (CD) up to latest
2.95.1 glibc2.1.2.... no worry all builds worked.

It's working ...

Andreas
