How long did you wait before deciding that it is looping? The thing is that when you run make bootstrap, it _does_ do more configuration of some of the source trees under the main source directory, so this is expected to an extent. Not to sound too dubious, but it can take anywhere from, say, 15 minutes to several hours to build GCC depending on the machine you're building on. So, if you waited only a couple minutes and decided it was looping, I'm not sure you waited long enough to let it do what it's got to do...

I even checked with diff. the same thing is getting printed. On Thu, 16 Sep 2004, Bras, Gerard wrote: > Virender, > > They happen many, many times.
