I found this when building a i586-mingw32 cross-compiler directly in srcdir. Build fails with:
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/trunk/i586-mingw32msvc/libgcc' Makefile:143: ../.././gcc/libgcc.mvars: No such file or directory make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../.././gcc/libgcc.mvars'. Stop. This happens because ${host_subdir} gets the wrong path (fallbacks to "."). The check in acx.m4 doesn't take into account that ${host_noncanonical} changes its meaning when we switched from gcc/ to libgcc/. Patch attached. -- Summary: fails to build a cross-compiler in-tree Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: build, patch Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: rmh at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40191
