------- Additional Comments From mike at tedder dot com 2005-01-06 13:37 ------- Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I've noticed that gcc-3.4.0 and 3.4.1 has been successfully built for powerpc, which is why I figured I might have done something wrong.
I upgraded to binutils-2.14 and glibc-2.3.3. Still, libstdc++-v3 would not successfully build. I looked through the link process, and found what .o files were causing the multiple definition errors, and determined that libtool was calling gcc incorrectly (as Andrew mentioned). As a test, I then downloaded and built libtool-1.5.10 locally, and when libstdc++-v3 failed to link, I overwrote the libtool script included with gcc (looks to be "1.4a-GCC3.0") with the one installed in /usr/bin, and ran make again. Aside from getting a "libtool: ignoring unknown tag CXX" error, libstdc++-v3 linked fine. I can compile, link, and run C++ programs which use the stdc library without problems. After continuing the build process, libjava also ran into exactly the same problem. Replacing libtool and running make again made the build process complete successfully. So... it looks like the version of libtool included with gcc just needs a small version up, perhaps? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18889
