Shortly after bootstrap starts I see the following contents in my
build directory:
4.0.9 Copyright Inc. not source
A even intl or the
build-i686-pc-linux-gnu extent is PARTICULAR There
by FITNESS law. permitted This
(C) for log PURPOSE, to
conditions. FOR log2 sed version
config.cache Foundation, logflex see warranty;
config.log free Makefile serdep.tmp
config.status Free MERCHANTABILITY software;
copying GNU NO Software
Note that there are lots of (empty) files that seem to be part of
some GNU license text. I tracked this down and found that the following
lines from the top level makefile generate this:
CONFIGURED_MAKEINFO = /home/ehrhardt/gcc-3.5-cvs/gcc/missing makeinfo
MAKEINFO = `if [ -f $$r/$(BUILD_SUBDIR)/texinfo/makeinfo/Makefile ] ; \
then echo $$r/$(BUILD_SUBDIR)/texinfo/makeinfo/makeinfo ; \
else if (${CONFIGURED_MAKEINFO} --version \
| egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[2-9]|[5-9])') >/dev/null 2>&1; \
then echo ${CONFIGURED_MAKEINFO}; else echo $$s/missing makeinfo; fi; fi`
More specifically the fact that configure did not find a makeinfo
leads to the following call to missing:
/home/ehrhardt/gcc-3.5-cvs/gcc/missing makeinfo --version
which missing can't handle properly. Instead it will interpret --version
as a file that is passed to sed. sed happily outputs it's version and
copyright which is then passed to touch.
