I'm trying to build gcc4.2.2 on Solaris 10 on an AMD machine. I'm
using the recommended configure options for as and ld (I have --
enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --
without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld) and I get this scary error
when it tries to build amd64/gmon.o:
/local/pallas/gcc422build/./gcc/xgcc -B/local/pallas/gcc422build/./
gcc/ -B/home/pallas/gcc422/i386-pc-solaris2.10/bin/ -B/home/pallas/

/var/tmp//cc3019Gz.s:291: Error: invalid character '.' in mnemonic
gmake[5]: *** [amd64/gmon.o] Error 1
The reason I find this scary is that it looks as though my new gcc
has generated output that the assembler doesn't understand.
Compiling with -v shows:
/usr/local/bin/as -V -Qy --64 -s -o amd64/gmon.o /var/tmp//ccjLW7Z8.s
GNU assembler version 2.16.1 (i386-pc-solaris2.10) using BFD version
2.16.1
/var/tmp//ccjLW7Z8.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp//ccjLW7Z8.s:291: Error: invalid character '.' in mnemonic
So my assembler is 2.15 or later, as required. Is there actually
some other requirement?
The troublesome assembly is:
289 movl $65534, %eax
290 cmpq $65535, %rdx
291 cmovq.l tolimit(%rip), %rax
292 movq %rax, tolimit(%rip)
I'm not familiar with the amd64 mnemonics, so I don't know if this
ought to be legal or not.
Any help?
Thanks.
joe
