Hello I am trying to build gcc-4.0.4 with binutils 2.16.1on Slackware 10.2. The building instructions on web site say I should untar gcc sources and binutils sources in the same directory to have them built at once. but after tar --extract I have two different directories, one for gcc, one for binutils, because this is how the archives are made. I tried to copy files by myself in one sorce directory but then I would have to overwrite files like configure and I don't think this is intended. How should I unpack them ? As written on the web page, in the gcc sources directory I created symlinks to any directoris in binutils not also in gcc sources. Then I tried configure --enable-threads make profiledbootstrap and I coundn't get past a ld error saying it can't find 'unlink_if_ordinary' (should be in libiberty). I tried separately building binutils before building gcc+binutils, the error is still there. I made a symlink point to libiberty from binutils sources and put it in gcc sources instead of the gcc-provided libiberty directory. I still got some other errors and could not build. I even tried overwritting most files from gcc sources with the ones in binutils sources, and it would still not build. Could you please tell me how to build gcc with binutils and get past 'unlink_if_ordinary' error ? Thank you Timothy Madden Romania
