Bug #: 54444 Summary: 32-bit glibc development headers required on GNU/Linux x86_64, but not checked during configure Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ger...@pfeifer.com In the last week I twice ran into a variation of the following on two different systems (operating systems): In file included from /usr/include/features.h:382:0, from /usr/include/stdio.h:28, from /home/gp/svn/gcc-HEAD/libgcc/../gcc/tsystem.h:88, from /home/gp/svn/gcc-HEAD/libgcc/libgcc2.c:29: /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory # include <gnu/stubs-32.h> ^ compilation terminated. gmake[5]: *** [_muldi3.o] Error 1 gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/tmp/OBJ-0901-0046/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/32/libgcc' The fix is simple -- install 32-bit glibc development headers. On openSUSE this is in the glibc-devel-32bit package, and there are similar packages on other distributions. Instead of failing during the build, can we test this at configure time?
