Help needed with sparc

[Alexander Poquet]

Hi Brad,

I recently had the same bootstrap problem, but on a cvs version of gcc I'd
already compiled!  I was trying to recompile my 32-bit sparcv9 gcc into a
64-bit binary, and accidentally used a gcc 3.0.3 instead of my sparcv9 gcc
3.1 as the compiler.  I'd successfully compiled that same source before.

I think (though I'm not certain because I haven't checked) that it happened
because 32 bit gcc was trying to link to the 64 bit libraries I'd already
compiled (because they were in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH... well, technically my
crle -64, but same difference).  If that isn't the case, I can't think of 
any reason that code which compiled without a hitch before would cease to
compile with the same compiler.

As you've clearly compiled gcc-sparcv9 before, perhaps this is your problem
too?  Just a thought.

Oh, as an afterthought: I too gdb'd the offending file but then realized
that my gdb had been configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.8, as yours was.
This implies 32-bit... does this make a difference?  I would imagine it
would, but then I'm not sure because I don't know much about the internals
of debuggers.
