m Yup. that sums it up. This is the rpm in question: egcs-1.1.2-24.src.rpm First, 'rpm --rebuild' tried to update /usr just because tetex-xdvi was noy installed. That's pretty bad (and a really excellent reason to not build RPMs as root). It was trying to do something with kpsestat during the configure processing. Clearly, it needs to test whether the program is actually installed. One I found that, the next failure is this: [summer@emu summer]$ time rpm --rebuild /u03/brokenrpms/egcs-1.1.2-24.src.r pm >egcs.build.log 2>&1 real 81m21.904s user 72m36.900s sys 4m54.800s [summer@emu summer]$ [summer@emu egcs-1.1.2]$ tail -20 ~/egcs.build.log + xargs strip + cut -d: -f1 + strip /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/cc1 /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/cc1obj /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/cc1plus /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/cpp /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/f771 /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/collect2 + ln /tmp/Begcs/usr/bin/i586-redhat-linux-gcc /tmp/Begcs/usr/bin/egcs + ln -sf gcc /tmp/Begcs/usr/bin/cc + ln /tmp/Begcs/usr/man/man1/gcc.1 /tmp/Begcs/usr/man/man1/egcs.1 + rm -f /tmp/Begcs/usr/info/dir + gzip -n -9f /tmp/Begcs/usr/info/cpp.info /tmp/Begcs/usr/info/g77.info /tmp/Begcs/usr/info/gcc.info + ln -sf g77.1 /tmp/Begcs/usr/man/man1/f77.1 + ln -sf g77 /tmp/Begcs/usr/bin/f77 + mkdir -p /tmp/Begcs/lib + ln -sf ../usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/cpp /tmp/Begcs/lib/cpp + ln -sf cccp.1 /tmp/Begcs/usr/man/man1/cpp.1 + '[' -d ../compat/i586 ']' + pushd /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib /tmp/Begcs/usr/lib /tmp/egcs/egcs-1.1.2/obj-i586-linux + touch foo.c + ../bin/g++ -fPIC -L. -shared -o libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy -Wl,-soname,libstdc++.so.2.9 ld: cannot open linker script file libgcc.map: No such file or directory Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73337 (%install) [summer@emu egcs-1.1.2]$ I renamed ld to Ld and substituted this script (called ld): [summer@possum summer]$ cat /usr/bin/ld #!/bin/bash echo echo $0 echo $@ pwd /usr/bin/Ld $@ [summer@possum summer]$ (and reran on a faster computer).
