Hi Marty, GCC (and also binutils) runs configure in multiple directories, so you need to find the newest config.log. From what you show above, perhaps in the libgcc directory (if there is one). The message 'error unrecognized command line option -V' is perfectly normal and might be produced by each configure invocation. If you have multiple config.log files from gcc, grep for 'cannot compute suffix of object files' in each of them. For whichever config.log matches this, look at it in vim (or else in less), search for that string, and then look at the lines around it. I no-longer recall the details of the contents of config.log, but I think you should first see 'checking for suffix of object files', followed by the construction of a program fragment to test, the invocation of that fragment, any error messages from trying to run it, and then the 'cannot compute' message which results from the failure. The actual error message is important - perhaps a failure in gcc itself (e.g. missing include file) or a failure in ld (e.g. missing library). This is a critical failure, so after that the attempt to run configure stops (but it will dump any state into config.log, so the error message is not usually the last thing in that config.log). Among things which might cause this are missing host libraries, or perhaps inconsistencies/errors in the environment (sections 2.2 amd 4.4). ĸen -- thread 'main' panicked at 'giraffe', /tmp/rustc-1.32.0-src/src/test/run-fail/while-panic.rs:17:13 -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
