What I have not yet found is how to get the SHELL variable to not use /bin/sh because this is causing a failure immediately at the start of make:
root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/gcc/objdir/gcc-4.7.4]make [ -f stage_final ] || echo stage3 > stage_final /bin/sh[3]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 1 : `-qlanglvl=extc89' is not expected. make: *** [all] Error 2 Setting a link from /bin/sh to "bash" is just a way of breaking the host. I hope there is be a normal way to resolve this. regards, Michael p.s. 4.5.4 fails elsewhere - it does not come as far as 4.7.4 or 4.6.4 On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 9:19 PM, Michael Felt <aixto...@gmail.com> wrote: > I fear that after being set to "wontfix" an entry such as > https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63714 will be completely > ignored. > > > That is not what I was expecting having spent nearly 8 hours yesterday > looking for something I may have missed. > > I do not understand how to move forward from: Don't bootstrap GCC with > IBM XLC. - considering that is the compiler I have. > > As I commented in the "bug" above, there are issues I have run into > with gcc from other sources.
