How could a problem compiling gcc with gcc be off-topic in linux-gcc?
Are you trying to do it on solaris? :-).

You won't find -lgcc in the Makefile. It is implicit. You can suppress
it with -nodefaultlibs or -nostdlib, but I don't think you want to do
that. It is, as it were, the compiler's own library, it lives where the
compiler was built, and the compiler should know where to find it.
Hmmm. Are you trying to build gcc-2.8.1 in the same place gcc-2.7.2.3
lives? I don't think that will work. It wouldn't surprise me if
./configure deleted your libgcc.a..- but no, the last dir in the path
name is the gcc version number, so it shouldn't do that. Likewise for
the spec file...
Well, do gcc -v, and wherever it reads the specs from, in the same dir
there should be a libgcc.a. If it's there, I guess you could copy it to
/lib or so, or give the path with -L. If it's not, I don't know what to
tell you short of reinstall gcc-2.7.2.3.
I will probably try something like this soon. Do you know of a patch
file to get from gcc-2.7.2.3 to 2.8.x ?? :-)
