------- Comment #8 from bonzini at gnu dot org 2010-07-13 09:32 ------- Yes, C-only bootstrap is enough.
Regarding the removal of an installed GMP, in theory yes, it would be preferable. In practice removing it would force you to use an old bootstrap GCC that does not use MPC/MPFR/GMP, and there is an easy way to check that the right library is used for the build, so it is not necessary. Since in-tree GMP/MPFR are statically linked, just do "ldd *gcc/cc1" in the build directory, and check that it doesn't include any relevant GMP/MPFR/MPC shared library. For smoke testing, just compile a simple "int main() {}" file. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44455
