Since i had troubles with solaris 10, I tried building gcc 3.4.0 on solaris 9. I have been able to successfuly build gcc 3.3.3 on this same machine and using it to build gcc 3.4.0.
If I try my old way, it will build but then the install fails (just like my prior email...install-sh not found)
If I build the recommended way (so that objdir is not any part of srcdir) the build fails.
I untarred gcc into /var/gcc-3.4.0 then I created /var/obj and from /var/obj I ran configure as such:
../gcc*/configure --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as \ --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld --disable-nls --enable-threads \ --enable-shared --enable-multilib --with-cpu=pentium4 \ --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 \
then I did 'make bootstrap'
the build goes on for some time then
..

configure: error: libtool configure failed

make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
But if srcdir = /var/gcc and objdir = /var/gcc/obj
it will build 100% but fail install.
Help?
