Bug #: 54373 Summary: [4.7/4.8 Regression]: build fails for mmix-knuth-mmixware libobjc GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: build, ice-on-valid-code Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: h...@gcc.gnu.org Host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Target: mmix-knuth-mmixware Some time after the 4.6 branch building binutils separately (not in a combined tree) broke. A build of binutils, installing that, then building gcc with PATH including the binutils installation now results in: (building gcc, then most other things including newlib, libstdc++, then:) ... checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking stdio.h usability... yes checking stdio.h presence... yes checking for stdio.h... yes checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes checking sched.h usability... yes checking sched.h presence... yes checking for sched.h... yes checking whether the target supports thread-local storage... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_\ EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libobjc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/expvol/pp_slask/hp/cstmmbtmp/cstmmb_47/gccobj' (gcc-4_7-branch revision 190562) Similarly for trunk, for example revision 190649.
