The "../configure" part means it won't work, since you cannot build GCC in the GCC source directory, nor any subdirectory thereof, and that the GCC source should be rm'd and re-untar'd
Is this some kind of stupid joke or what? What on earth it does matter
where the self-made $build directory is?
What on earth reason the GCC build has to expect or care about something
below the $build directory? People
should be free to choose their (originally empty) $build directory to be
anywhere they like it be!
I myself have NEVER since gcc-2.95 which allowed building in the
sources itself, used anything else than a
subdirectory in the main GCC sources, for instance 'gcc-4.1.1/build' in
the gcc-4.1.1 case. And have NEVER
seen any problems with this! Maybe because I have built only 1000 or
some hundreds more than that GCCs
during that 'past 2.95' time :-(
What are the problems I should see?
