thanks for this valueable feedback, at least it works for you. Of course I could be more verbose but just wanted to report my shock from this sunday morning discovery, e.g. it could be some deeper problem as the top-level /include header install issue I discovered shortly before the 4.1.0 release. That said I'm on x86-64-t2-linux-gnu, here is an strace: strace -e process -f -o log gcc -pipe -v --help 24998 execve("/usr/bin/gcc", ["gcc", "-pipe", "-v", "--help"], [/* 30 vars */]) = 0 24998 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x2aaaaade66d0) = 0 24998 vfork() = 24999 24998 vfork() = 25000 24998 wait4(24999, <unfinished ...> 24999 execve("/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-t2-linux-gnu/4.1.0/cc1", ["/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-t2-linux"..., "-quiet", "-v", "help-dummy", "-quiet", "-dumpbase", "help-dummy", "-mtune=k8", "-auxbase", "help-dummy", "-version", "--help", "-o", "-"], [/* 32 vars */] <unfinished ...> 25000 execve("/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-t2-linux-gnu/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-t2-linux-gnu/bin/as", ["/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-t2-linux-g"..., "-V", "-Qy", "--help", "-o", "/tmp/ccMyO4oo.o", "-"], [/* 32 vars */]) = 0 24999 <... execve resumed> ) = 0 25000 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x2aaaaade66d0 <unfinished ...> 24999 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x2aaaaade66d0 <unfinished ...> 25000 <... arch_prctl resumed> ) = 0 24999 <... arch_prctl resumed> ) = 0 25000 exit_group(0) = ? 24999 --- SIGINT (Interrupt) @ 0 (0) --- 24998 <... wait4 resumed> [{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGINT}], 0, NULL) = 24999 So maybe it is a problem in combination with some specific binutils version. I'm still looking into the details. gcc version 4.1.0 # as -v GNU assembler version 2.16.91.0.5 (x86_64-t2-linux-gnu) using BFD version 2.16.91.0.5 20051219 Oh - wait, "as -v" alone already hangs ... ?
