I can sooo relate to that. :-P I build GCC 4.2.1 on a Sparc 20 : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-08/msg00185.html The process took days .. and days and coffee pots So, what was your configure line again ? Did you specify --prefix as well as --with-local-prefix ?? Here is the configure options that I used on that Sparc20 : bash-3.2$ gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 Configured with: /export/home/dclarke/build/gcc-4.2.1/configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-cpu=v7 --enable-threads=posix --disable-nls --prefix=/export/home/dclarke/local --with-local-prefix=/export/home/dclarke/local --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran --with-gmp=/export/home/dclarke/local --with-mpfr=/export/home/dclarke/local --enable-bootstrap Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.1 ugly eh ?
