 Hi Dan,
 
    Thanks for looking into this.
 
 The build failed in p-valprint.c, caused by warnings turned into
 errors:

 BTW, I looked into the docs for information about how to suppress the
 build of support for Pascal (and other languages I'm not interested
 in).  --enable-languages=c++ did not cut it.  Is there a "community
 knowledge" document somewhere that contains that kind of stuff?
 
 Thanks!
