I've seen this in the past. Typically what happened is the compiler did not build, but in some cases it still tried to build libgcc. First make sure the compiler built (going into the gcc subdirectory and saying make). When I'm doing this, I tend to prefer eliminating any -j options so that it is clearer what is going on. To simplify things that break in libgcc, I often times just configure for C only, just to save the build time. -- Michael Meissner, IBM 5 Technology Place Drive, M/S 2757, Westford, MA 01886-3141, USA meiss...@linux.vnet.ibm.com fax +1 (978) 399-6899
