             Bug #: 53240
           Summary: gcc 4.7 cross compiler build fails in libssp; link
                    test not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: bootstrap
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: felix-...@fefe.de


checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no
checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not
allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libssp] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/leitner/cross-build/arm/obj/gcc3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I ran the original configure with

  --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/cross
--with-sysroot=/opt/cross/arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-languages=c,c++

The eglibc documentation on how to get a cross toolchain recommends disabling
SSP, but I need SSP!  That's an integral security feature, it needs to work!
