------- Comment #8 from oblivian at users dot sourceforge dot net 2008-03-31 23:09 ------- I am convinced that the patch is almost certainly wrong, is not the root cause of the problem, and the 4.3.0 implementation of libtool is almost certainly broken.
While the patch allows the compiler to be built in phase 2 and complete, it is pulling in libraries from the host system. 4.2.3 Most certainly did not. I'm looking at build logs from both versions and for example the 4.2.3 build configure log for phase 2 showed that it could not find libflex -lfl for all stages of the build, where as 4.3.0 can't find -lfl in stage 1 and in stage 2 and follow it all of a sudden starts finds it. Since flex is not installed until after the phase 2 toolchain it should not be found by the compiler if it is searching /tools/lib for the whole bootstrap build. Beyond this bfd in stage 2 of the phase 2 compiler is showing sys_lib_search_path_spec with /lib and /usr/lib in it, which is very bad for the phase 2 compiler I'm trying to build. I'm going to start looking into where sys_lib_search_path_spec is set and find the deltas between the two versions since I'm not sure where else to look. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35752
