Ok, if one needs ONLY GCC, then the make command is :

If these command succeed, then you really haven't understood
something very
basic in GCC :( It is only a collection of compilers! But the GCC
sources will
include all kind of extra stuff which will be tried to be built too:
'libgcc' (earlier
even the 'make all-gcc' tried to produce it), 'libstdc++',
'libjava',....
Some time in the past, maybe it was gcc-2.8.x, the GCC sources
included only
GCC and libgcc sources, in 'gcc'. Nowadays the C++ classes are included,
libiberty too, all kind of extra stuff which some may consider as
"rubbish" or
"spam" :) Maybe the standard C library comes next, even now quite many
seem to suggest in the net that it is "obligatory" to build glibc with
a cross GCC!
So it may sound frustrating when 'make' doesn't try to produce ONLY the
compilers (no target stuff outside the GCC sources will be required
for that).
The 'make all-gcc' and 'make install-gcc' however have been there very
long
so maybe there is some attitude that "everyone knows them already" and
the
GCC docs don't tell about this "only GCC binaries wished" case :(
Please send messages to the mailing list instead of to me privately.
So, does make all-gcc build libgcc.a?
Best regards.
