Two little things when building the libraries. When building all languages on the target i686-pc-linux-gnu the make does all it's stages and then builds the libraries.
It build them in this order: libgcc, libada, libstdc++-v3, libiberty, libmudflap, libssp, libgfortran, boehm-gc, libobjc, libffi and then finally zlib. The next library build is libjava. 1): Then it goes back after configuring classpath and _rebuilds_ zlib again. After re-doing zlib it continues with the rest of libjava. It is too bad it can't build it satisfactory for libjava the first time. 2): Another issue is I see this warning: # grep -B 2 -A 2 --color=always configure:\ WARNING: /opt/gcc-4_3-build/make_9_log.txt no checking whether Solaris gcc optimization fix is necessary... no configure: WARNING: "Must define GC_DEBUG and use debug alloc. in clients." configure: WARNING: "Client must not use -fomit-frame-pointer." updating cache ./config.cache configure: creating ./config.status Why take an action to trigger the warning, apparently we should define GC_DEBUG and not use -fomit-frame-pointer so lets refrain from creating the Makefile that way. # gcc/xgcc -v Using built-in specs.
