Hi, I'm trying to bootstrap gcc 4.1.1 for c, c++, and fortran on an OpenSUSE 10.2 box. $uname -a Linux psi 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The installed gcc is $gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i586-suse-linux Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran,obj-c++,java,ada --enable-checking=release --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.1.2 --enable-ssp --disable-libssp --disable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=new --program-suffix=-4.1 --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-system-libunwind --with-cpu=generic --host=i586-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) I started the build with $../src/configure --prefix=[...] $make bootstrap 2>&1 | tee make.log The build seems to run fine, make bootstrap issues some warnings but finally fails with a bootstrap comparison failure. I checked the prerequisites and these seem to be fine. objdump -xtWD'ing the differing files shows no differences while cmp does, so I'm a bit lost on how to proceed. Today I tried to compile a very simple c program, just a couple of lines that print the ASCII character set. Comparing 5 builds of this showed differences between some of them. Is this a reasonable indicator for my system being one of the few systems where "meaningful comparison of object files is impossible"? With previous releases of SUSE bootstrapping worked, so this would have to be connected to the OS release. Please let me know if you need any more information.
