Bug #: 54324
Summary: GCC install document does not list minimum required
g++ versions
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: gary@intrepid.com
Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-08/msg01223.html
Currently, install.texi states:
@heading Tools/packages necessary for building GCC
@table @asis
@item ISO C90 compiler
Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior
to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler.
To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where
3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing
GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code for language
frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
This appears to be out-of-date with respect to new GCC 4.8 C++ stage 1
build requirement.
