Hi all, For a while now I have been working on a project that uses a patched GCC in order to perform source analysis of C++ exceptions ( http://edoc.sourceforge.net/ ). I am about to create the next release but have come across a problem using the newly compiled GCC on Fedora 7. Should it be possible to build GCC from source and not have to rebuild binutils from source also? I have a problem when using a newly built GCC (On a Fedora 7 Linux system) to compile a program that makes use of libbfd. Upon linking I get: undefined reference to: 'unlink_if_ordinary' I assume this is because the new GCC i just built (4.0.1) creates a version of libiberty which does not include 'unlink_if_ordinary', where the existing version of GCC has libiberty which does define this symbol and this existing GCC was the one that was used to build the binutils that is being used. Where: Existing GCC (Whatever is already installed): New GCC (Special patched version of): 4.0.1 The usual solution is to rebuild binutils with the new GCC (4.0.1) and install it alongside the new GCC in its special prefix. This will then create a binutils using the 4.0.1 libiberty which should not have these problems. Is it possible to avoid having to build a new version of binutils using the GCC just installed by somehow configuring the new GCC to make use of the existing libiberty from the old GCC? Or is that just going to cause all sorts of possible problems? Thanks, Brendon.
