It appears that the gcc included with Fedora Core 4 (or some other program that may be used during gcc bootstrap) does not produce identical output on stages 2 and 3. I ran "make bootstrap4", and the comparison check passed after building stage 4.
Any one with Fedora Core 4 will have to run "make bootstrap4" to successfully bootstrap gcc-4.0.x - that's what I noticed. - KJM On Sat, 2005-08-13 at 17:11 -0700, James E Wilson wrote: > Kevin McBride wrote: > > I have been having comparison errors while building a native 4.0.1 > > compiler for my Fedora Core 4 system. > > Running > cmp c-pragma.o stage2/c-pragma.o > on your provided files says that they identical.
