Re: 64 bit linux build problem for gcc 4.4.0

2009-05-21 Thread Aharon Robbins
There's nothing like deterministic software.

I started over again in a completely new build directory and the regular

../gcc-4.4.0/configure --prefix=/usr/gcc4
make

is through the 3 stage bootstrap and is now compiling fortran and java.

But I *know* I tried this out of the box before and it didn't work.

I didn't start over again with fresh extraction of the tar balls, but
that shouldn't make any difference, right?

Once this build finishes I will try a fresh extraction and will report
back to the mailing list.

Jerry, thanks for the offer to look at logs - I'll hold off on that until
I can reproduce a problem.

Thanks,

Arnold

Jerry,

Thanks for the reply.

Do you have the stuff necessary for doing 32-bit builds installed also? I do,
and it feels like that might be the issue.

I can send you logs if you really want to see the gory details.

Thanks,

Arnold

This seems to be an old issue; google turns things up dating back to
2003.  I suspect that x86_64 systems are only going to be more popular
with time; the build process on those systems needs to be as easy as
for 32 bit systems.

Aharon,

I have been building gcc for several years now with no issues on x86-64 and on 
Fedora Core 10 ever since it was released.  What exactly has been your problem?


Its been as easy as 123.  I have never had to set CCFLAGS or disable-multilib.

64 bit linux build problem for gcc 4.4.0

2009-05-19 Thread Aharon Robbins
Hi. After several tries and a modicum of googling, I found that

CFLAGS=-m64 ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --disable-multilib

was the magic incantation to get gcc to get into the second stage of
the boostrap.  This is on a Fedora Core 10 system.

This seems to be an old issue; google turns things up dating back to
2003.  I suspect that x86_64 systems are only going to be more popular
with time; the build process on those systems needs to be as easy as
for 32 bit systems.
