I must not have understood your question. > If you have '.' on the PATH, you are supposed to have it *last*'.

Can you consider changing it and reverting the hack? That FAQ text is questionable as a "universal truth", the comment about "all hell" feels slightly exaggerated. This is the first time in >20 years of using UNIX daily that I'm running into this. I am a strong believer in software that works; I'd use the term plug and play but someone else has already ruined that :-) If the GCC build can't cope with . being in $PATH in a specific place then it should do something sensible with the situation, not produce an error message that shows no relation to the cause of the problem. My current hack is one workaround; you don't seem to like it. Another possibility I see would be to fiddle with PATH at the beginning of the build-ARCH.sh scripts, e.g. in this way : --- build-cegcc.sh (revision 819) +++ build-cegcc.sh (working copy) @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ fi export TARGET="arm-wince-cegcc" -export PATH=${PREFIX}/bin:${PATH} +export PATH=${PREFIX}/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:${PATH} #export CFLAGS="-g3 -O0" echo "Building cegcc:" Would that be more acceptable ?
