Hi, I'm attempting to build gcc 3.3.6 on Solaris 8.
The build process fails, apparently while attempting to configure libffi: $ setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh $ mkdir GCC-3.3.6 ; cd GCC-3.3.6 $ /tmp/gcc-3.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.3.6 --with-as=/usr/local/binutils/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/binutils/bin/ld [...] $ gmake bootstrap [...] Configuring in sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libffi [...] checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... yes [...] checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... cross-compiling... unknown checking to probe for byte ordering... guessing bigendian ... unknown configure: error: unknown endianess - sorry gmake[1]: *** [configure-target-libffi] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/Plocal/GCC-3.3.6' gmake: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 I'm attempting to build gcc 3.3.6 using GNU binutils 2.16 on Solaris 8 7/01. -- Summary: configure: error: unknown endianess Product: gcc Version: 3.3.6 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libffi AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: papadopo at shfj dot cea dot fr CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782
