Re: can't compile cvs/snapshot gcj for a week


Hi,

I had the same problem. It is described in the FAQ at
<http://sources.redhat.com/java/faq.html#5_7>

What I did in the end was just patch the gcc/configure script so it
never defines HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN since I always forgot to set it correctly:

Index: configure

 EOF
 
 		gcc_cv_as_hidden="yes"

If you don't want to recompile your gcc then you can try to use gcj with
the --static flag. That will result in big binaries but at least you can
test a little now (while you recompile gcc :).

Hope that helps,

Mark
