Check out: > http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45174 Sorry for being slow to respond, I've been busy :) I remember reading that gcc bug last year when I first hit the problem. I spent some time trying to implement the solutions proposed there but none of them worked. Reading through it again now I noticed that many of the people were using Ubuntu. My current system was first compiled from an Ubuntu live cd so I wondered if that may have had an effect. So I downloaded the Fedora 16 x86_64 iso, booted into it, fought my way past the stupidly obstructive and annoying Gnome-3 and made my way to exactly the same GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES error at exactly the same point in the first pass of gcc. I copy and pasted the commands from the book. The only thing I'm doing that is not in your new version of the book is that I run make -j4. But it's binutils and gcc. They must be safe to run with multiple jobs. Oh, hang on, I did use gcc-4.6.3 this time but it made no difference as far as this error is concerned. Other than that, perhaps it's something about my hardware? Or the filesystem (I use btrfs)? Maybe I should try again with just ext2? Booting into the live cd and getting the same error has reassured me it's not something peculiar to my build current system.
