[tree-ssa, cvs] spec failure: unrecognized spec option'<'

[Melvin Hadasht]

Hi,

I did some more tests:
Configuring with --enable-languages=c (without c++ or f95), and doing
a make (no bootstrap) compiles correctly (but the specs did have the bug).
 I'm currently doing a bootstrap to test. (I'm still using tree-ssa from
cvs 2003-11-07 13:20 UTC)

Yes, it reads the ./specs it has found. According to the command line
that triggered the error (file attached in my original post), I don't see
why it reads the specs from the current directory.

Testing just gcc -v in a directory containing an empty specs shows
that gcc (3.3.2) reads the specs from that file. So it seems that gcc 
searches for the specs in the current directory first. Is this expected? 
If yes, then that would explain the above. And 3.3.2 being more
strict in reading the specs, it will also explain why I have the error.
So I assume you do not use 3.3.2 to compile tree-ssa?

Ok, I'll do some other tests and I'll file a bug report.

I'll try that.

Ok, thanks for you help.

Sorry. Done!
