I am building GCC 4.7.1 (book says to use 4.7.2). My book version is 7.3, so I am not using the latest version of the book. I have built several systems with 4.7.1 instead of 4.7.1. My output of grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g' is: SEARCH_DIR(/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib)

Yes, the Gmail web interface is horrible. I fixed my problem (I was in the end of installing GCC). I found that I incorrectly typed the CC symlink, and it was using the CC symlink from /tools/bin, not /usr/bin. Thank you all for the help Douglas Reno On Nov 6, 2013 6:16 AM, Igor Živković
