I bootstrapped gcc 4.1 today on a dual G5 running Mac OS 10.3.9 using
gcc 3.3. It was successful after I installed the latest cctools.
However, when trying to build our projects with gcc 4.1 I get a whole
slew of "Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed." errors like so:
/var/tmp//cc588Xyz.s:4717:Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed.
/var/tmp//cc588Xyz.s:4721:Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed.
/var/tmp//cc588Xyz.s:4723:Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed.
/var/tmp//cc588Xyz.s:4728:Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed.
/var/tmp//cc588Xyz.s:4730:Complex expression. Absolute segment assumed.
There's probably 100 or so for each file I'm compiling. What causes
this? This is how I configured gcc 4.1:
/afs/scl/u/samm/Desktop/gcc-4.1.0/configure
--target=powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0 --enable-languages=c,c++
--program-suffix=-4.1
Thanks,
Sam
