------- Comment #25 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 05:02 ------- Just for your info: I just tried to compile the two previous official releases on the same machine to troubleshoot this issue further (using no configure/make flags WHATSOEVER, building in a separate build directory in both cases):
gcc 4.0.3 (347231730fb44b609b69226c3e432d80 gcc-core-4.0.3.tar.bz2) and gcc 4.1.0 (15efa164579c7cf4a48859ee87d2a1fa gcc-core-4.1.0.tar.bz2) (both obtained from gcc mirrors) While I did succeed compiling gcc 4.0.3 on the same machine (after however applying the patch mentioned in bug 27023 due to a too recent GNU make version), compiling gcc 4.1.0 DID indeed cancel at the same point as the two later releases did: /root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/./gcc/xgcc -B/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -O2 -O2 -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/. -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/../include -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/../libcpp/include -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time -fno-omit-frame-pointer \ -c ../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \ -o crtbegin.o ../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/crtstuff.c:1: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make[2]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/gcc' make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD' make: *** [all] Error 2 So, the cause for this really seems to have crept in somewhere in between 4.0.3 and 4.1.0, thus I ask anybody in the know: were there any additional dependencies (or default assumptions) introduced in either the underlying build system or alternatively the xgcc/cc1 files during that time line that could explain the behaviour I'm seeing here?
