4.2.1 installation on x86_64_unkown-linux-gnu: a test failed [no such instruction: 'cmpxchg16b ld(%rip)']

[Soohong Peter Kim <spkim at ecn dot purdue dot edu>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install GCC 4.2.1 on x86_64_unkown-linux-gnu (Linux 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp x86_64 GNU/Linux).  After building compiler and run-time libs, I ran tests (make -k check) and had failures as follows:

	FAIL: libgomp.c/atomic-2.c (test for excess errors)
	Excess errors:
	/tmp/ccMiztgb.s:47: Error: no such instruction: `cmpxchg16b ld(%rip)'

	WARNING: libgomp.c/atomic-2.c compilation failed to produce executable

More details from log file  can be found below.  There's gcc 3.4.6 in my system and I wanted to install 4.2.1 under my personal area.

Has anyone had the similar issue?  Please let me know.  Thanks.

Soohong
