I have tried to Make gcc 4.1.1 on an Intel Woodcrest system (Intel Xeon processors) and also on a Fabric7 Q80 server (AMD Opteron processors). I couldn't complete the Make without getting an error from the use of ld.
The Woodcrest error looks like: /usr/bin/ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [32/libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[2]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 The Q80 error looks like: /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libstdc++.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/jrweave/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jrweave/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jrweave/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3' make[1]: *** [all-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jrweave/gcc-4.1.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 -- Summary: Cannot Make GCC 4.1.1 Product: gcc Version: 4.1.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: jrweave at gmail dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29488
