I used the following to configure it: ../gcc-4.2.2/configure --srcdir=../gcc-4.2.2 --verbose --disable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-x --disable-libgcj --disable-libgcj-debug --disable-java-awt --with-system-zlib --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-threads=posix --enable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-win32-registry --with-win32-nlsapi=unicode --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,fortran,java,objc,obj-c++,treelang NB: I am building support for all the languages. I have yet to see a build with this configuration fail a significant number of tests in the test suite (I always to make check before attempting an install. Since you aren't building everything, IIRC, your build ought to take less time. Now, make check takes more time than the basic build, so I leave off starting that until the weekend. > This is really a newlib question, but traffic seems > light on that list. > > How can i get the combined build to not build > multilib versions of > newlib, but rather, just one version that matches > the targeted > processor? > > Is it enough to specify > > --disable-multilib > > or must I do something in addition? > Don't know. I haven't had to investigate that. I just thought I'd give you a little information about how long my builds of GCC take, along with how I configure it, to better put the time of your builds into perspective. My hardware was obsolete when I bought it, as is normal: 3800+ AMD Athlon 64 X2, w/ 4 GB RAM (Yes, I know, 32 bit Windows sees only 3.5 GB, but hey, I'll eventually upgrade it to 64 bit Windows, and might as well get the RAM while it is available and affordable). Just how long are your builds taking? Ted
