While bootstrapping on MacOSX 10.3 a link error is found in stage3 while building libstdc++ The library in question is libgcc_s.10.4. I've had a look at gcc/config/ and it seems this is supposed to be a There are several of these in If a system library is required then we have these: MacOSX:~/gcc/libstdc++-v3/include/tr1_impl ed$ ll /usr/lib/libgcc* /usr/lib/libgcc.a -> gcc/darwin/default/libgcc.a /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.0.dylib /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib -> libgcc_s.1.0.dylib Possibility: MacOSX 10.3 was dropped - it looks like the libgcc_s.10.4 and libgcc_s.10.5 are from MacOSX 10.4 and 10.5 respectively. Should the link be against libgcc_s.1.0.dylib dot MacOSX10.3 instead? Possibility: Should the link use the recently built libgcc_s.1 instead of a system library? I might try to fake out the compile with a link from libgcc_s.10.4.dylib to libgcc_s.1.0.dylib I'll report back. I still think it's a config problem though.
I had to run to work before I could make sure but I think the ln -s /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.0.dylib /usr/lib/libgcc_s.10.4.dylib trick may have "worked".
The link hack worked. This isn't really a fix but maybe it isn't a big deal. Ed
The workaround worked and in any case, the machine and OS is dead.
