GCC Bugzilla Bug 18013

A 'make install' fails with an error during installation of libstdc++. The
configuration was:

../gcc/configure -prefix=/opt/gcc-3.4 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking--enable-languages=c,c++,f77
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs

The compiler was built with 'make bootstrap'.

The error from 'make install' is:

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/scott/gnu/gcc-3.4/build-p4/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/po'
make[2]: Leaving directory

Is the object directory writable (or did you run out of space)?
Because that is the only thing which cause this.

I can manually touch the file. The directory appears writable, and I have 40GB
of free space.

This cannot be a GCC problem, something is wrong with your machine (I don't
know what) because it 
works for a large number of other people and this part of the makefile has not
changed for a long time.
