--- Comment #20 from Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.dias at gmail dot com> 2012-08-05 18:10:24 UTC --- RE: > --disable-bootstrap if you're doing --enable-gather-statistics but for me this defeats the whole purpose of building a "C-only" bootstrap compiler. I see no point in proceeding to build C++ , Java, Obj-C et al until binutils, glibc, gmp, mpfr, mpc, ppl/cloog, gettext, zlib et al have been re-built and tested using the pure-c compiler ; to me, the first thing I'd do with a default 'configure && make' GCC with --enable-languages=all is re-compile binutils + glibc et al and then repeat the GCC build - so why use --enable-languages=all until GCC's dependencies have been rebuilt using the new GCC ? Anyway, my laptop is in the cooler now, producing around 1 PAGE of assembler every two minutes (sorry, strace was truncating) , it has produced around 2MB of assembler so far, so I might as well let it continue for the next week or so until it finishes ... thanks for all the responses explaining why this takes so long with --enable-checking=all - I'll remember not to use this again. Couldn't there be a new "enable all checks except garbage collection checks" option ? Thanks & Regards, Jason
