Here is the context of where the build failed: checking dependency style of /home/david/arch/bs/gcc-gcj/gcc- gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/./gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc -B/home/david/arch/bs/gcc- gcj/gcc-gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/./gcc -nostdinc++ -L/home/david/arch/bs/gcc- gcj/gcc-gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src - L/home/david/arch/bs/gcc-gcj/gcc-gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/x86_64-unknown-linux- gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs -B/usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/x86_64- unknown-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include... gcc3 checking for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-as... /home/david/arch/bs/gcc-gcj/gcc- gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/./gcc/as checking for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld... /home/david/arch/bs/gcc-gcj/gcc- gcj/src/gcc-4.3.3/build/./gcc/collect-ld checking for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar... ar checking for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ranlib... ranlib checking for gawk...
