untarring gcc-2.95.2-2 (howto use md5 ?)

["Mark Van De Vyver" <mvdv at bigfoot dot com>]

Hi,
I've had trouble untarring gcc-2.95.2-2-src.tar.gz (13,077,613 bytes)
the type of message I get is:
tar: gcc-2.95.2-2/libiberty/xstrerror.c: Could not create file: No such file
or directory

Things went fine for gcc-2.95.2 tho after applying Mumit's patch and the
pgcc patch (without errors) the make failed (configure went ok) so I thought
I'd try and build a vanilla gcc before asking what went wrong there...
So pulled the latest sources down from aarnet.edu.au now tar zxf ... fails
as a 'check' I tried opening up the gz file with winzip and sure enough it
complained about the libiberty directory.

The only thing I can think of is that the mirror is bad? but I'm not sure
how to use md5 to check (which I'm assuming is the purposes of the md5.sum
files).  Is there any receipe for using md5?  Found nought in quick search
of the User guide web pages or archives.

Note I've built the autoconf, perl and automake files (I think) without
error

Any help appreciated
