Luke, I don't know what causes your problem, but I'll tell you what I did to build gcc-4.2.0 under Solaris 8. Normally, I build gcc in /usr/share/src. This time, I needed to build it in /home instead because it contained more free space than /usr did. Before I show you the steps I take to build gcc, I should show you three lines that I've added to my .cshrc because Eric Botcazou, a gcc maintainer suggested that I put them into it. setenv MAKE /usr/local/bin/make setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh setenv CC /usr/local/bin/gcc Here's the procedure I use after I put gcc's tarball into, say, /usr/src. bunzip2 gcc-4.2.0.tar.bz2 gtar -xf gcc-4.2.0.tar mkdir gc cd gc /usr/src/gcc-4.2.0/configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld gmake bootstrap gmake install gmake clean strip /usr/local/bin/* Here, "gmake" is a symlink to the current version of GNU make. Hope this helps.
