After having reread the architecture-specific configuration documentation, I also tried CC="cc -xildoff -xarch=v9" /home/fischerk/tmp/gcc-3.4.1/configure --prefix=/home/fischerk/pub/gcc -3.4.1 --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++ make bootstrap and CC="cc -xildoff -xarch=v9" /home/fischerk/tmp/gcc-3.4.1/configure --prefix=/home/fischerk/pub/gcc -3.4.1 --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++ --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as -- with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld make bootstrap Both attempts failed again. Has anybody had similar difficulties? Many thanks, Kaspar -- NEU: WLAN-Router für 0,- EUR* - auch für DSL-Wechsler! GMX DSL = supergünstig & kabellos http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
