Re: gcc make bootstrap fails with: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `(C'

["Tim Prince" <tprince at computer dot org>]

This is more of a gcc-help topic.  No, gcc and the g++ compiler itself
need to be fully bootstrapped before configuring in libstdc++.  If those
have been done correctly, you should be able to remove completely the
libstdc++ library under objdir and go back to objdir and do 'make
LANGUAGES=c++'  For completeness, you may as well remove all
subdirectories under objdir/i586.... before rebuilding the final
libraries.

Subject: gcc make bootstrap fails with: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax
error near unexpected token `(C'


gcc version: 2.95.2
libstdc++ version: 2.90.6
machine: i586-pc-linux-gnu
directories used: gccsrcdir: /root/installs/gcc-2.95.2
                         libsrcdir:
/root/installs/gcc-2.95.2/libstdc++-2.90.6
                         gccbuilddir: /root/installs/objdir
                         libbuilddir: none needed
                        destdir: /usr
recipe for disaster:
Starting in /root/installs/gcc-2.95.2 do this:

   mv libstdc++ libstdc++-v2
   mv libio libio-v2

   tar xzf ../libstdc++-2.90.6.tar.gz

   ln -s libstdc++-2.90.6 libstdc++

   cd ../objdir
   ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr
   make bootstrap

Fails with this: (Reproduced with make check)

Fix: I am not too sure but it seems like some of the script variables
are not being passed into the libstdc++ makefile.  Is the libstdc++ have
to be made before gcc is bootstapped?
