On an 'Linux eldenlinux2 2.6.31-17-generic i686 GNU/Linux' with 'gcc version 4.4.1' I tried several variants of: ../gcc-4.4.3/configure --target=m68k-uclinux --enable-multilib --enable-threads \ --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libgomp \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --disable-nls \ --disable-lto (Not that I understand all of the options.) I get: Configuring in m68k-uclinux/libstdc++-v3 ... checking for shl_load... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1 ... If I add '--with-newlib' the error changes...... ../gcc-4.4.3/configure --target=m68k-uclinux --enable-multilib --enable-threads \ --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libgomp \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --disable-nls \ --disable-lto \ --with-newlib (Not that I understand all of the options.) I get: Configuring in m68k-uclinux/libstdc++-v3 ... checking for type equivalent to int8_t... configure: error: no 8-bit type /e/gcc10/ewc/gcc-4.4.3/libstdc++-v3/configure: line 116577: exit: please: numeric argument required /e/gcc10/ewc/gcc-4.4.3/libstdc++-v3/configure: line 116577: exit: please: numeric argument required The rest of it compiles if I remove libstdc++ from the ../gcc-4.4.3/configure, but then I can't do c++. The related patches seem to be resolved... Did "Re: Link tests after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES" get fixed (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-11/msg00875.html). If so what was the resolution? What is the resultant switch? (--cache-file? , --simulate-link-tests=file_with_results?) Is don't see it on http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html, but its a big document! It would seem to belong in the "Cross-Compiler-Specific Options". Should this be sent to gcc@xxxxxxxxxxx?
