sparc-sun-solaris2.8 && GCC-3.1 && bootstrap problem

[Jorgo Bakker <jbakker at rssd dot esa dot int>]

Hi,

After:

# --- clean environment as possible
$ exec env -i HOME=$HOME /usr/bin/bash --norc
# --- pollute environment (needed for binutils, gmake gtar etc...)
$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
# --- build
$ gccversion=3.1
$ ../gcc-$gccversion-src/configure
--prefix=/usr/local/devel/gcc-$gccversion --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld
--enable-shared=libstdc++ --disable-threads
$ make bootstrap

Where as and ld are binutils 2.11.2, I get:

make[7]: Entering directory

I wonder whether this is the same problem as reported (for solaris2.7)
at  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-01/msg00306.html and the like.

If so, it is unclear what I am supposed to do:
* get a binutils that is not yet advocated through the normal channels.
* use the native ld/as (yak)
* something else?

Anybody?
