Re: [Bug c/38286] configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files - cannot find as

[smcguffee <sean dot mcguffee at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install gcc to get gcj on a mac. I found that I have to put in
an excessive amount of flags to even get a start on compiling gcc. For
example:
export CC='gcc -arch x86_64';export GXX='g++ -arch x86_64';CFLAGS='-arch
x86_64';export CXXFLAGS='-arch x86_64';export CPPFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
./configure GXX='g++ -arch x86_64' CC='gcc -arch x86_64' CFLAGS='-arch
x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-arch x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
Then I get the error of "checking for i386-apple-darwin9.5.0-gcc...
/Users/smcguffee/WHITEHOUSE_LAB/PROGRAMS/GCC/SVN/GCJ/host-i386-apple-darwin9.5.0/gcc/xgcc

See `config.log' for more details.

as described above.

If I understand it correctly, you are saying that there is something called
bin-utils that I need to get in addition to the gnu downloads? Can you
please give me more information about this? I couldn't find anything called
bin-utils and I don't know where to look. 

Thanks,

Sean
