Hello, I am trying to compile gcc4.1.2 source on a RHEL3 (linux) box. It croaks with the error below regarding /usr/bin/ld. A look at the FAQ says I need to be sure it uses the "GNU GCC" ld. /usr/bin/ld is the only one I could find on the machine. Is there a workaround? TIA, Steve (Note: needed to update my gcc version in order to try a glibc-2.5 install) ================================================================ /bin/sh ../libtool --tag CXX --mode=link /home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc -B/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc -nostdinc++ -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -Wl,-O1 -fno-implicit-templates -Wall -Wextra -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -fdiagnostics-show-location=once -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -o libstdc++.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 6:8:0 -Wl,--version-script=libstdc++-symbol.ver -lm bitmap_allocator.lo pool_allocator.lo mt_allocator.lo codecvt.lo compatibility.lo complex_io.lo ctype.lo debug.lo debug_list.lo functexcept.lo globals_locale.lo globals_io.lo ios.lo ios_failure.lo ios_init.lo ios_locale.lo limits.lo list.lo locale.lo locale_init.lo locale_facets.lo localename.lo stdexcept.lo strstream.lo tree.lo allocator-inst.lo concept-inst.lo fstream-inst.lo ext-inst.lo ios-inst.lo iostream-inst.lo istream-inst.lo istream.lo locale-inst.lo locale-misc-inst.lo misc-inst.lo ostream-inst.lo sstream-inst.lo streambuf-inst.lo streambuf.lo string-inst.lo valarray-inst.lo wlocale-inst.lo wstring-inst.lo atomicity.lo codecvt_members.lo collate_members.lo ctype_members.lo messages_members.lo monetary_members.lo numeric_members.lo time_members.lo basic_file.lo c++locale.lo ../libmath/libmath.la ../libsupc++/libsupc++convenience.la -lm /home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc -B/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc -nostdinc++ -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/crti.o /home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc/crtbeginS.o .libs/bitmap_allocator.o .libs/pool_allocator.o .libs/mt_allocator.o .libs/codecvt.o .libs/compatibility.o .libs/complex_io.o .libs/ctype.o .libs/debug.o .libs/debug_list.o .libs/functexcept.o .libs/globals_locale.o .libs/globals_io.o .libs/ios.o .libs/ios_failure.o .libs/ios_init.o .libs/ios_locale.o .libs/limits.o .libs/list.o .libs/locale.o .libs/locale_init.o .libs/locale_facets.o .libs/localename.o .libs/stdexcept.o .libs/strstream.o .libs/tree.o .libs/allocator-inst.o .libs/concept-inst.o .libs/fstream-inst.o .libs/ext-inst.o .libs/ios-inst.o .libs/iostream-inst.o .libs/istream-inst.o .libs/istream.o .libs/locale-inst.o .libs/locale-misc-inst.o .libs/misc-inst.o .libs/ostream-inst.o .libs/sstream-inst.o .libs/streambuf-inst.o .libs/streambuf.o .libs/string-inst.o .libs/valarray-inst.o .libs/wlocale-inst.o .libs/wstring-inst.o .libs/atomicity.o .libs/codecvt_members.o .libs/collate_members.o .libs/ctype_members.o .libs/messages_members.o .libs/monetary_members.o .libs/numeric_members.o .libs/time_members.o .libs/basic_file.o .libs/c++locale.o -Wl,--whole-archive ../libmath/.libs/libmath.a ../libsupc++/.libs/libsupc++convenience.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs -lm ../libmath/.libs/libmath.a -lm ../libsupc++/.libs/libsupc++convenience.a -lm -L/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/../.. -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc_s -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc_s /home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/./gcc/crtendS.o /usr/lib/crtn.o -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--version-script=libstdc++-symbol.ver -Wl,-soname -Wl,libstdc++.so.6 -o .libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 /usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.4 20030523 internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c line 2377 in elf_i386_relocate_section /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[4]: *** [libstdc++.la] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src' gmake[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3' gmake[1]: *** [all-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/skirby/gcc-4.1.2/objdir' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 ================================================================ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?
