Hi, I have successfully bootstrapped and installed a release version of gcc 6.3.0.
As I have read at the end of the installation instructions I send you the following information: ---- Output from command 'srcdir/config.guess': x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ---- Output from command 'gcc -v': Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=/home/ciro/Programs/GCC_Binutils/GCC-6.3.0/Install/bin/gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/home/ciro/Programs/GCC_Binutils/GCC-6.3.0/Install/libex ec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.0/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-6.3.0/configure --prefix=/home/ciro/Programs/GCC_Binutils/GCC-6.3.0/Install Thread model: posix gcc version 6.3.0 (GCC) ---- Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them: I did not exclude / include any specific language, but because I did not have a previous version of the Ada compiler, the new Ada Compiler was not built.

I installed Debian Packages "fastjar" and "zip", run "make" again and it worked. Many thanks to you all. Ciro Landolfi
