gcc 3.0 crashes during installation on IA64 Linux System !

[Mario Deilmann]

Hi,

not a good tip !

I installed binutils-2.11.2.tar.gz but now gcc 3.0 configure fails because it
detects a cross compiler due to the fact that the new as/ld in combination with
2.9-ia64-000216-final cannot create a runnable exec. 

troon/home/mdeil> as -v
GNU assembler version 2.11.2 (ia64-unknown-linux) using BFD version 2.11.2
troon/home/mdeil> ld -v
GNU ld version 2.11.2 (with BFD 2.11.2)
troongcc-3.0/objdir> cat hi.c 
int main(){
printf("Hi \n");
}
troongcc-3.0/objdir> gcc hi.c
troongcc-3.0/objdir> a.out 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

after removing the binutils exec from the path

troongcc-3.0/objdir> as -v
GNU assembler version 2.9-ia64-000216-final (ia64-cygnus-linux) using BFD
version 2.9-ia64-000216-final
troongcc-3.0/objdir> ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9-ia64-000216-final (with BFD 2.9-ia64-000216-final)
troongcc-3.0/objdir> gcc hi.c
troongcc-3.0/objdir> a.out
Hi
