Java only build fails

["Jim Wright" <JimWright at telecom dot cz>]

Hello World,

It's a long time since I built gcc and I only want Java
right now so I downloaded/unpacked gcc-core-3.01
and gcc-java-3.01 (released but not announced?!)
and did this (starting with a command to preserve my
links to html docs):

    ln -s gcc-3.0.1 current
    mkdir obj
    cd obj
    ../current/configure
    make CFLAGS='-O' \
        LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \
        LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' \
        bootstrap

I don't know what the first error was but I got this
at least twice:

    checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
    ltcf-cxx.sh: error: problem compiling test program

and ltcf-cxx.sh says it "Creates a C++ compiler
specific configuration". Then the build died with:

    checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself...
(cached) no
    appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
    checking for exception model to use... configure: error: unable to
detect exception model
    make[1]: *** [configure-target-libjava] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/prj/here/115/obj'
    make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I have now downloaded gcc-g++ and
gcc-testsuite and will try again.

I am using Red Hat 7.1 (freshly upgraded
from Red Hat 7.0.9) so everything is recent
gnu stuff i.e. glibc-2.2, binutils 2.10, gnu make etc.

So my questions are:

Is it supposed to be possible to build the Java stuff
without the C++ stuff?

But is it possible?

How do I get a log including the first error message?
(Other than performing the build in emacs, which
actually works fine if I remember to do it.)

The "gccbug and gnatsweb" documentation in
gnats.html says that bootstrap failures should only be
reported if they prevail for atleast one week. What
does this mean? Should I leave my PC switched on,
so it can fix itself? :-) Am I supposed to wait for 3.0.2?

Thanks for your time.
