Using actual versions of the prerequisites works not on my system with the way described in http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC. The doc tells: >>> The difficult way, which is not recommended, is to download the sources for GMP, MPFR and MPC, then configure and install each of them in non-standard locations, then configure GCC with --with-gmp=/some/silly/path/gmp --with-mpfr=/some/silly/path/mpfr --with-mpc=/some/silly/path/mpc, then be forced to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/silly/path/gmp:/some/silly/path/mpfr:/some/silly/path/mpc/lib in your environment forever. This is silly and causes major problems for anyone who doesn't understand how dynamic linkers find libraries at runtime. Do not do this. If building GCC fails when using any of the --with-gmp or --with-mpfr or --with-mpc options then you probably shouldn't be using them. <<< But this works fine also with actual versions. OK, I think I have now two different ways to build a working gcc. One with older versions of libs and one with actual ones. Thanks! Klaus
