I tried building GCC from Subversion on Solaris 9 last night, here's what I saw:
checking whether ldgetname is declared... no checking whether times is declared... yes checking whether sigaltstack is declared... yes checking whether madvise is declared... yes checking for struct tms... yes checking for clock_t... yes checking for F_SETLKW... yes checking if mkdir takes one argument... no *** Configuration sparc-sun-solaris2.9 is obsolete. *** Specify --enable-obsolete to build it anyway. *** Support will be REMOVED in the next major release of GCC, *** unless a maintainer comes forward. gmake[2]: *** [configure-stage1-gcc] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/maciej/src/gcc-objdir-svn-sparc-5.9' gmake[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/maciej/src/gcc-objdir-svn-sparc-5.9' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 maciej@unstable9s :~/src > We haven't built GCC for Solaris 9 in a long while, the version we've got in the 5.9 repo is 4.6. I was looking if we can refresh it, and I wanted to report potential compilation errors, but I guess I won't. Maciej
