Output of config.guess: i686-pc-linux-gnu
More meaningful: Red Hat Linux 5.2 running on a Pentium Pro 150MHz
machine with 64MB of RAM.
This was a flawless process of download the tar, decompress, make a
build directory, configure --enable-shared, make bootstrap, make
install. Painless. The only thing I had to edit was my bashrc to export
/usr/local/bin in the path before everything else (Red Hat put
everything in /usr/bin). This could have been corrected with configure
--prefix, but I'm still somewhat new at this (i.e. first time building a
compiler).
As a complement, I think it takes less time to build your compiler from
scratch and install it than it takes to install a copy of MSVC 6.0
prebuilt (obviously) from CD with all of their reboots, required install
of IE 5.0 or whatever, install MSDN 2-CD set, etc. Great work! Great
compiler, too.
