Hello Tim,

For several weeks, I have been seeing the gcc 4.5 builds terminating
in libcpp with "cannot compute suffix of object files..."
In the configure.log, it starts complaining with
configure:2992 ..... "-V must come at the start of the command line"
... "unrecognized option '-qversion'"...
"xgcc: no input files"
Maybe this means nothing, but:
The next step reports failure of the compile test for suffix.
When I attempt to repeat the compile command shown, it gives no
diagnostics, but sure enough the code returned to bash is 1.
If I run $HOME/libgcc/configure, it appears to configure OK, but
when I run make in libcpp, it fails eventually when attempting to
build addtf3.o (config/soft-fp/quad.h:63 error: unable to emulate
'TF'
This looks like <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42529>.
Cheers,

This problem went away when building under XPSP3 in recent weeks. It
came up again yesterday when attempting a build under XPM inside
Win7-64. The build completed when running directly under Win7-64. I had
no luck with testsuite in either of those win7 cases.
