Hi all, I decided to test the current trunk on mips-sgi-irix6.5, on which I have already installed the binutils-2.18. The directory contaning GNU assembler and linker is before that of the SGI ones in my PATH, but nonetheless, a simple "configure" chooses to use GNU as but the system ld. I tried to force its hand (in a clean directory) with --with-ld=/usr/people/francois/local/bin/ld --with-gnu-ld --with-as=/usr/people/francois/local/bin/as --with-gnu-as, but even there, it does pick up the system ld: > $ ../trunk/configure --prefix=/usr/people/francois/devel/irun --with-gmp=/usr/people/francois/local --enable-mapped-location --with-ld=/usr/people/francois/local/bin/ld --with-gnu-ld --with-as=/usr/people/francois/local/bin/as --with-gnu-as --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ > checking build system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5 > checking host system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5 > checking target system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5 > [...] > checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes > [...] > *** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories: > target-libmudflap target-libffi target-zlib target-libjava target-libada gnattools zlib target-boehm-gc > (Any other directories should still work fine.) > [...] > checking for ar... ar > checking for as... as > checking for dlltool... no > checking for ld... (cached) /usr/bin/ld I don't see how it can be cached, since my build directory is perfectly clean when I start! config.log doesn't have much information either: configure:6439: checking for ar configure:6455: found /usr/people/francois/local/bin/ar configure:6465: result: ar configure:6574: checking for as configure:6590: found /usr/people/francois/local/bin/as configure:6600: result: as configure:6709: checking for dlltool configure:6738: result: no configure:6767: checking for ld configure:6793: result: /usr/bin/ld then a bit later: configure:9015: checking for as configure:9048: result: no configure:9160: checking for as configure:9176: found /usr/people/francois/local/bin/as configure:9186: result: as configure:9238: checking for dlltool configure:9271: result: no configure:9383: checking for dlltool configure:9412: result: no configure:9461: checking for ld configure:9494: result: no configure:9606: checking for ld configure:9622: found /usr/people/francois/local/bin/ld configure:9632: result: ld In summary, I'm confused. The release notes at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html say nothing of that issue, so I assume I have made a mistake, but which?
