Tom Tromey <tromey at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tromey at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #3 from Tom Tromey <tromey at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I was curious why make had decided to rebuild c/c-lang.o (picking the recompile that came first for me) so I added a line to the .c.o rule that printed $? This yielded: /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/PFE/prev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/cstring /home/tromey/Space/Trunk/Git/PFE/prev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/cstdlib So I think what is going on is that the automatic tracking scheme notices a dependency previously omitted by the Makefile. However, due to how bootstrap-lean works, this file is deleted before the "install" step. I am not sure what to do about this. All I can think of is that bootstrap-lean probably must leave one prev- directory around.
