Go to /home/simon/gcc/gcc-4.3.2/objdir/./gcc/xgcc and open the `config.log' there for more details. > make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/simon/gcc/gcc-4.3.2/objdir' > make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/simon/gcc/gcc-4.3.2/objdir' > make: *** [all] Error 2 > ----------------- > > Is there anybody encountering the error too. Here I modified a bit what Brian Dessent has ever written before: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agcc.gnu.org+inurl%3Aml+inurl%3A%22gcc-help%22+%22compute suffix of object files%22 > Any hint to solve this problem is appreciated. It depends on what is written on your /home/simon/gcc/gcc-4.3.2/objdir/./gcc/xgcc/config.log Your search with Google should give you an answer in case the same problem as reported in your `config.log' has ever been encountered before.
