And before trying to debug this further, could you please try a bootstrap with the bare minimum of configure options and no local patches: from what I see in your Comment #11, that would be CC=/usr/gcc/4.9/bin/gcc these are a 32-bit-default compilers, I assume? CXX=/usr/gcc/4.9/bin/g++ --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --without-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/bin/as Certainly omit --with-initfini-array: if the configure test doesn't detect it, there may be a problem (e.g. in ld) here. Can you bootstrap a previous unmodified version of GCC (e.g. 4.9.x) in a similar way and use that instead of the bundled one? Maybe there's already a problem with your bootstrap compiler. If 4.9.x bootstraps fine and 4.9.x -> 7.x doesn't, try the last releases from each branch (5.x, 6.x) in turn, starting with 4.9.x -> 5.x; then 5.x -> 6.x; then 6.x -> 7.x.
