Help compiling gcc out of the box

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Jason,

For one, it sounds like you are trying to build in the same directory as the GCC source code.

As I understand it, that isn't supported.  Generated files clobber existing files, and then bad things happen.

Wipe out your current GCC directory, and untar your gcc-3.3.1 tarball again.

Try this (assuming GCC source is in ~/gcc-3.3.1):
cd ~
mkdir gcc-build
cd gcc-build
../gcc-3.3.1/configure
make

HTH,
