Problem building GCC 4.9.1 on x86_64

[Raghu L]

Since 'make' finished without error, you may now proceed to run the testsuite.

Suggestion: Increase the stack size prior to running the tests using the following command:

$ ulimit -s 32768

Then, run the tests using the command below:


$ make -j 2 -k check

'make -j 2' is for parallel build. Replace '2' with the number of processor cores available on your system.

Currently, the gcc 4.9.1 'c' compiler executable for your build will be in 'objdir/gcc' with name 'xgcc'. In your case, exactly in the folder '/home/david/scratch2/objdir/gcc'.

The path you specify in '--prefix=<path>' is the installation path for the toolchain. After the successful build of the toolchain, you can install it using the command below:

$ make install


All executables will be installed in '<path>/bin', where <path> is the folder specified in --prefix. 
Also, directories 'lib' for libraries and 'include' for header files will be created appropriately in <path>.

Hope, this clarifies.
