I've tried to build gdb 7.8 from the sources on a SLES 10 SP4 machine.
Configure runs without error, but make stops in directory libiberty with
the following error:
ar: ./libiberty.a: No such file or directory
The command line starts with
ar -r rc ./libiberty.a ...
Of course, with this command line ar should create rc rather than
libiberty. I had expected the command line should read something like ar
-rc ./libiberty.a ...
In the Makefile I see these lines:
AR = ar -r
AR_FLAGS = rc
How can this work?
What is wrong here? Do I need newer tools? make is V3.80, ar is
V2.16.91.0.5.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Burkhard
