book2:gccgo-4.7 jay$ g++ -v Using built-in specs. Target: i686-apple-darwin9 Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5493~1/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9 Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493) a lot of: /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/tr1/functional_iterate.h:912: error: cannot use typeid with -fno-rtti /src/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/go/gofrontend/string-dump.h: At global scope: gcc/configure.ac: # Disable exceptions and RTTI if building with g++ ACX_PROG_CC_WARNING_OPTS( m4_quote(m4_do([-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti])), [noexception_flags]) Maybe best to just leave the default flags? Maybe just remove this snippet? Or maybe this is - meant for otherwise C code? Slightly optimize it?? - meant to reduce memory/disk use and let things work that otherwise fail? i.e. on older hosts and/or with older g++? Yeah yeah, I'll try without -disable-bootstrap. If that fails though, I'll try removing those lines from configure/configure.ac. Thank you, - Jay
