Hi Callum,I've been trying to build GCC on irix and while I seem to have one that works it fails a great deal of the test suite, so many even that the mail is too big for the test suite mailing list and gets rejected, so, here it is. http://sucs.org/~kais58/results I was hoping that someone from this could see where I'm going wrong and missed something out somewhere.Those results look really bad, but I assume some systematic error. To investigate, one would need to look at e.g. gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc.log to see how exactly the tests are failing.

GNU as/binutils 2.21.1 SGI ld 7.4Those should be ok, that what I'm using myself all the time. Which exact IRIX 6.5 build do you use (/bin/uname -R)?
/bin/uname -R 6.5 6.5.30m Courtesy of SGI.
I'll rebuild these and then use them to build gcc-4.6.1 now, do you mean the minimum required versions ie 2.4.2, 4.3.2, 0.8.1?Previous build of GCC-4.5.3 to compile it mpfr-3.0.1 gmp-5.0.2 mpc-0.9This might cause problems: I'd stay with the exact versions mentioned in the install docs, since I've often seens serious problems with older version.
GNU make 3.8.2I'm staying with 3.81, but 3.82 isn't so much worse hopefully. Another point: please try gcc 4.6.1 instead. I've had serious problems with the 4.5 branch, with bootstraps often aborting somewhere in the middle with spurious SEGVs. The same commands work fine if you restart the bootstrap from there. I'd usually attribute this to flakey hardware, but the same machine is completely stable for me for 4.6 and 4.7 bootstraps. Btw., which versions of tcl, tk and dejagnu do you use? I have tcl 8.4, expect 5.43.0, and dejagnu 1.4.4.
tcl/tk-8.5.10, expect-5.45, dejgnu-1.5 currently
