I'm unsure why this issue only started manifesting now with how old this code is, but this should fix it.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * python/Makefile.am: Call mkinstalldirs before INSTALL_DATA when installing gdb scripts. * python/Makefile.in: Regenerate. --- Hi, Someone spotted on IRC spotted an error: if trying to install to a fresh prefix/sysroot with --enable-libstdcxx-debug, the install fails since it's intended target directories don't exist. I could replicate this on r13-3944-g43435c7eb0ff60 using $ ../gcc/configure --disable-bootstrap \ --enable-libstdcxx-debug \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --prefix=$(pwd)/pfx Install tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with and without --enable-libstdcxx-debug. libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am | 4 ++++ libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.in | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am b/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am index f523d3a44dc..7987d33e6d9 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am +++ b/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.am @@ -58,9 +58,13 @@ install-data-local: gdb.py libname=`sed -ne "/^old_library=/{s/.*='//;s/'$$//;s/ .*//;p;}" \ $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/libstdc++.la`; \ fi; \ + echo " $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)"; \ + $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir); \ echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$libname-gdb.py"; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$libname-gdb.py ; \ if [ -n "$(debug_gdb_py)" ]; then \ sed "/^libdir = /s;'$$;/debug';" gdb.py > debug-gdb.py ; \ + echo " $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug"; \ + $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) debug-gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug/$$libname-gdb.py ; \ fi diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.in b/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.in index 05e79b5ac1e..a68c1836481 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.in +++ b/libstdc++-v3/python/Makefile.in @@ -623,10 +623,14 @@ install-data-local: gdb.py libname=`sed -ne "/^old_library=/{s/.*='//;s/'$$//;s/ .*//;p;}" \ $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/libstdc++.la`; \ fi; \ + echo " $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)"; \ + $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir); \ echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$libname-gdb.py"; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$libname-gdb.py ; \ if [ -n "$(debug_gdb_py)" ]; then \ sed "/^libdir = /s;'$$;/debug';" gdb.py > debug-gdb.py ; \ + echo " $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug"; \ + $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug; \ $(INSTALL_DATA) debug-gdb.py $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/debug/$$libname-gdb.py ; \ fi -- 2.38.1
