Hi Eljay

Thanks a ton. That was the issue looks like. I was configuring in source
directory and compiling. I also updated my libtool. This worked fine.
Thanks much. Lesson learned

With Regards

Vardhan

Hi Vardhan,

  ^^

Configuring and compiling GCC in the GCC source code directory (or any
subdirectory thereof) is not supported, as per the documentation:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

Please delete your corrupted source code directory, and untar the source
code afresh.

Make a peer directory as your build directory.

mkdir /cots/gnu/build-4.3.2
cd /cots/gnu/build-4.3.2
/cots/gnu/gcc-4.3.2/configure ...yada yada yada...

HTH,
--Eljay
