Problem building 4.2.0 on Solaris 10 (SPARC)

[Bill McEnaney]

Luke,

I don't know what causes your problem, but I'll tell you what I did to
build gcc-4.2.0 under Solaris 8.  Normally, I build gcc in
/usr/share/src.  This time, I needed to build it in /home instead
because it contained more free space than /usr did.

Before I show you the steps I take to build gcc, I should show you three
lines that I've added to my .cshrc because Eric Botcazou, a gcc
maintainer suggested that I put them into it.

setenv MAKE /usr/local/bin/make
setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh
setenv CC /usr/local/bin/gcc

Here's the procedure I use after I put gcc's tarball into, say, /usr/src.

bunzip2 gcc-4.2.0.tar.bz2
gtar -xf gcc-4.2.0.tar
mkdir gc
cd gc
/usr/src/gcc-4.2.0/configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
gmake bootstrap
gmake install
gmake clean
strip /usr/local/bin/*

Here, "gmake" is a symlink to the current version of GNU make.

Hope this helps.

Bill
