This problem is **SOLVED** by doing the following:
I've rebuild the same cvs with the following change
replacing :
 --enable-languages=c++,java,f77
by 
 --enable-languages=c++,java
(because I've no more hope to use this build as full replace for gcc:
only for gcj :-)
But I forget to use the magic "--disable-multilib" flag.
So after the error I rebuid all (without make clean)
and the it builds and installs successfully :
I don't no if java is incompatible which f77 (but build on intel was OK)
or if I did another bad manipulation (probably!) ...

So now I have this version of gcc:

Now static on dynamic compilation works the same !
So I finaly get the same erreur than with my first 
gcc-2.97 build and the date manipulation.
See my next news article about the "local bug with gcj
This error occure both on linuxppc and intel.
It's probably another locale problem because it works
for several poeple of you.
