           Summary: empty Makefile after configure
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: bootstrap
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: smichel at lucent dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
  GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.7
GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.7

The configure script sometimes createss an empty top level Makefile.
It seems that it did not like the path /home/xxxx/%NoBackup%/build/gcc-3.3.1-build.
I moved the source and the build dir to /home/xxxx/tmp/build and it worked fine.

This also happened with other 3.x version of gcc.

Here is some output of configure:

../gcc-3.3.1/configure
