--- Comment #232 from Peter Dyballa <Peter_Dyballa at web dot de> --- I saw these messages: checking linker version... 85.2.1 checking dsymutil version "@(#)PROGRAM:dsymutil PROJECT:dwarfutils-70"... 70 : DWARFUTILS 70 0 0 and also that Python 3 would be nice to have. The last build log also exactly tells (a few times): checking whether ln -s works... yes checking whether ln works... yes I also tried a bit of further quality assurance checking the last build log. In lines like checking for powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0-ranlib... ranlib the final word "ranlib" is not "ranlib" but "ranlib␣", i.e. the word "ranlib" followed by a SPACE character. Except when "Configuring stage 1 in powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0/libgcc", it's two SPACE characters. Similarly when "Configuring stage 1 in powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0/libgcc" I get: checking for powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0-ar... ar␣ "Configuring stage 1 in ./gcc" reports: checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... no All other configure scripts have found that "nm" exists. But OK, could be it's neither BSD- nor MS-compatible… Once, in "Configuring stage 1 in ./gcc", it's found checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c Eleven other times it's found checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c with a "-" between "BSD" and "compatible". When "Configuring stage 1 in ./gmp" it's found these two insights: checking for none-apple-darwin9.8.0-dlltool... dlltool checking for none-apple-darwin9.8.0-objdump... objdump Correct would be what other configure script find: checking what objdump to use... not found checking what readelf to use... not found And the same for objdump, I think. Similarly when "Configuring stage 1 in" ./mpc & ./mpfr: checking for powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0-dlltool... dlltool Can this be true? Or has someone hallucinations? Most configure scripts find: checking whether we are cross compiling... no but when "Configuring stage 1 in ./gmp" I get: checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
