Hi, I have a specific issue when compiling with gcc-4.3.5 which I did not have with gcc-4.3.4. I compile gcc on AIX, and need to compile GMP and MPFR before GCC (I cannot copy GMP and MPFR directories into the GCC source directory since I need to pass specific switches to GMP before compilation). Compiling and installing GMP and MPFR in $PREFIXGNU are successful. However, when I configure GCC I use (in the created build directory): /hpc/work/fernandz/gnusrc/gcc-4.3.5/configure --enable-threads --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=$PREFIXGNU --enable-threads --disable-shared --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --disable-nls --with-gmp=$PREFIXGNU --with-mpfr=$PREFIXGNU and then make. With gcc-4.3.4, compilation is succesful. On the other hand, with gcc-4.3.5, two directories named gmp and mpfr are created along the gcc directory, and compilation starts building those two libraries, despite I explicitely indicated a path to gmp and mpfr. Then compilation of mpfr fails with this: make[5]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435/gmp' make[4]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435/gmp' make[3]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435/gmp' make[3]: Entering directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435/intl' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435/intl' Configuring stage 1 in ./mpfr configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-threads, --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs, --disable-nls, --with-mpfr, --enable-languages, --disable-intermodule, --enable-checking, --disable-coverage, --enable-languages configure: creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/local/gnu/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for none-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-strip... no checking for strip... strip configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/local/gnu/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... nawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-mpfr] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/hpc/work/fernandz/gnuobj435' make: *** [all] Error 2 Firstly, gmp should no be rebuilt (it does not use the ABI=32 switch I nedd on AIX), furthermore mpfr fails subsequently. I did not find anything regarding this in the doc. I just realised that gmp and mpfr are now packed with gcc, but shouldn't they be ignored when configure indicates a path for these two libraries? Should I report this as a bug? Thanks. Eric
