some strange building problems

[Markus Werle <markus at lufmech dot rwth-aachen dot de>]

Sure this is is just this kind of error that has a tiny little reason,
but I cannot imagine.

I tried all, I have read through the whole INSTALL directory
but cannot fix it, so please be patient and read through my problem:

My System: HP-UX 10.20 (patches for sed exist).

startup like this:

[markus@newton] ...EGCS/OBJECTS_3 > ../egcs-1.1b/configure
--prefix=/home/markus/EGCS/egcs --with-as=/opt/binutils/bin/as
--with-ld=/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.8.1/ld

Configuring for a hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 host.
Created "Makefile" in /home/markus/EGCS/OBJECTS_3 using "mh-frag"
Links are now set up to build a native compiler for hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20

[...]

Reading specs from /opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.8.1/specs

ERROR: Somehow during compile as is not recognized as gnu as:

cc1: warning: -g is only supported when using GAS on this processor,
cc1: warning: -g option disabled.

This is really strange to me and I would like to know how to fix that.

========================================================================
So I try another way: Recompile binutils with same --prefix= argument as egcs:


Compilation runs through but installation fails:

WHAT IS WRONG? I ASK YOU, because the simple make all and make install
for egcs ran into the same problem. Is there anything missing?


Remember: there are 2 questions on 2 different problems in this mail message.


Thanks for any hint.
