Does that solve the problem?
Still solving my problem as described earlier, but as a test I tried: ~/gcc-64-build$ CC="gcc -m64" ../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu/gcc/4.0.0 && make bootstrap-lean ... and the output ended with: checking for sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar... no checking for ar... ar checking for sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ranlib... no checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc... gcc -m64 checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [configure-build-libiberty] Error 1 -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21162
