Bug #: 50293 Summary: -flto fails if GCC is installed in directory with space in path name Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.6.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: lto AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: j...@beniston.com The majority of GCC seems to run fine if installed in a directory with spaces in the filename. However, there seems to be an issue if -flto is used in 4.6.1 that wasn't an issue in 4.5.1. collect2 version 4.6.1 (arm/ELF) /cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld -plugin /cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/cyglto_plugin-0.dll -plugin-opt=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/lto-wrapper.exe -plugin-opt=-fresolution=/tmp/ccRdw4BE.res -plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc -plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc --relax -EL -v -L/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/cyclone -L/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/../../../../arm-elf/lib/cyclone -L/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1 -L/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc -L/cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/../../../../arm-elf/lib /tmp/cciZHvSE.o -lgcc -T crt0.ld -lgcc -T cyclone.ld /cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: /cygdrive/c/Program: error in plugin cleanup (ignored) /cygdrive/c/Program Files/gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.6.1/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: /cygdrive/c/Program: error loading plugin collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I tried quoting the options in the specs file, but that didn't seem to help. i.e.: -plugin "%(linker_plugin_file)" -plugin-opt="%(lto_wrapper)"
