Reason: prev-gcc/xgcc not able to build executables. configure: ./gcc-mainline-dp/configure --enable-libssp --prefix=/opt/gcc-mainline-dp --enable-docdir --enable-htmldir --enable-languages="c"
After stage1, i tried compiling xgcc and a C file I wrote: #include <stdio.h> int main(){ ; return 0; } and the error popped up in ld unable to recognize paranthesis: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/WS/act/gcc-build/intl$ ../prev-gcc/xgcc -B ../prev-gcc/ -g -fomit-frame-pointer a.c -v 2>&1 | tee a.txt Reading specs from ../prev-gcc/specs Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-mainline-dp/configure --enable-libdetect --enable-libssp --prefix=/opt/gcc-mainline-dp --enable-docdir --enable-htmldir --enable-languages=c Thread model: posix gcc version 4.3.0 20070926 (experimental) (GCC) COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-B' '../prev-gcc/' '-g' '-fomit-frame-pointer' '-v' '-mtune=generic' ../prev-gcc/cc1 -quiet -v -iprefix /home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/ -isystem ../prev-gcc/include -isystem ../prev-gcc/include-fixed a.c -quiet -dumpbase a.c -mtune=generic -auxbase a -g -version -fomit-frame-pointer -o /tmp/ccTprhqx.s ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/include" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/include-fixed" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/include" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/../../include" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/include" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/include-fixed" ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/karthik/WS/act/gcc-build/prev-gcc/../lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.0/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/include" #include "..." search starts here: #include <...> search starts here: ../prev-gcc/include ../prev-gcc/include-fixed /usr/local/include /usr/include End of search list.
