intermittent gcc bug with /usr/ccs/bin/as

[Edward Peschko]

hey all,

I've got a very frustrating bug with gcc 3.4.3 on solaris 5.8 - I'm hesitant even 
to put it in the bug database because it is IS so intermittant - but it is basically 
mucking up all of my compiles because it happens everywhere, but is not reproducible.

Basically, some times gcc ignores the fact that a gnu 'as' is in my path, 
and opts to use /usr/ccs/bin/as instead.  In fact, /usr/ccs/bin is nowhere in my 
path, ld_run_path or ld_library_path - nowhere in my environment, really. 
The system will compile normally, and then run up against /usr/ccs/bin/as
errors.

But the next time I compile, the error is nowhere to be seen.


So - what's going on here? I'm assuming its a 3.4.3 bug because 3.2.3 wasn't 
affected by it... And what do people need in order to track it down and fix it? 
It's most annoying..

Ed

btw - here's an example, compiling gq-1.4.3:
