I have three folders - gcc-4.4.1 - gcc-build - gcc-bin I am currently in gcc-build. I did ../gcc-4.4.1/configure --prefix=/Users/Ankit/gcc-bin it created the makefil in gcc-build. then I did "make" it gave me the following error after 10-15 mins :( . . . _ix86_expand_builtin in libbackend.a(i386.o) _ix86_expand_builtin in libbackend.a(i386.o) _ix86_expand_builtin in libbackend.a(i386.o) _ix86_expand_builtin in libbackend.a(i386.o) _ix86_expand_builtin in libbackend.a(i386.o) ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [cc1-dummy] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2 make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have compiled GCC before also & it worked fine.
