Can't compile gcc-3.3.1

[Christian H. Kuhn]

Hi,

I'm using Linux for years but now i want to know the details. So i
tried to compile it myself following the instructions on
www.linuxfromscratch.org in the cvs version.

When compiling gcc-3.3.1, i encountered the first problem. I extracted
the complete tarball and made an extra directory for building gcc
(from gcc-directory: ../gcc-build). Following lfs instructions, i
prepared for compilation with

../gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=/tools \
    --with-local-prefix=/tools \
    --disable-nls --enable-shared \
    --enable-languages=c

I could not see any errors, but there are a lot of config.log files,
and perhaps i did not see through the one i need.

Then i compiled with

 make BOOT_LDFLAGS="-static" bootstrap

and got

[...]
Cleaning up unneeded directories:
fixincludes is done
cp: cannot crate regular file `include/syslimits.h': No such file or
directory
chmod failed to get attributes of `include/syslimits.h': No such file
or directory
make[2]: *** [stmp-fixinc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/usr/src/gcc-build/gcc'
make[1]: *** [stage1_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/usr/src/gcc-build/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

There is no file syslimits.h neither in gcc-3.3.1 nor in
gcc-build. But anywhere i found a gsyslimits.h, and i think i remeber
that i have read in a posting anywhere else that that file is
copied. But it seems it doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?

The host system is a debian testing. gcc-3.2.3 is used for
compiling. A problem might be the necessarity of autoconf-2.13. Debian
has a version number of 2.54 and a additional package autoconf2.13
which should provide the necessary compatibility, but i'm not sure now
that it can ...

TIA
Chris
