Hi. I've had no luck building GCC on a Sparc-based Solaris machine here since early March - right around the time some LTO related patches landed. I've started trying again and the build fails when linking libgcc_so at the end of stage1. Here's the end of the build log:

When looking over the mailing list archives I found the long thread regarding the LTO linker change and the resulting fallout: Patch lands: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-03/msg00157.html Maintainer notes it breaks the build: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-03/msg00391.html After several days a fix was applied, but my builds still fail. Is there a configuration change needed to activate the fix? Here's the info for my last successful GCC build: $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
