I'm trying to install gcc 3.4.4. So I first installed binutils 2.16.1. Then I ran make check in the built directory of binutils. The only lines that are bothering me are: FAIL: ELF weak func first DSO FAIL: ELF weak func last DSO FAIL: ELF weak data first DSO FAIL: ELF weak data last DSO FAIL: ELF weak data first DSO common FAIL: ELF weak data last DSO common Is this fatal? May I proceed to installing gcc, or should I fix these failures (and how is this done)?
