Hi there I'm trying to build gcc-4.8.1 with mingw. the configuration is: export CPP=/mingw/bin/cpp export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/mingw/include export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/mingw/include ../configure \ --prefix=/mingw/gcc-4.8.1 \ --with-gmp=/mingw/gcc-4.8.1 \ --with-mpfr=/mingw/gcc-4.8.1 \ --with-mpc=/mingw/gcc-4.8.1 \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --enable-threads \ --enable-lto \ --disable-shared \ --disable-build-poststage1-with-cxx \ --disable-win32-registry then the error occures. the last lines in config.log (under [build-dir]/i686-pc-mingw32/libstdc++-v3 ) is: configure:20520: checking for wchar.h configure:20520: result: yes configure:20520: checking for wctype.h configure:20520: result: yes configure:20550: checking for ld used by /f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/./gcc/xgcc -B/f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/./gcc/ -L/f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/i686-pc-mingw32/winsup/mingw -L/f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/i686-pc-mingw32/winsup/w32api/lib -isystem /f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/winsup/mingw/include -isystem /f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/winsup/w32api/include -B/mingw/gcc-4.8.1/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ -B/mingw/gcc-4.8.1/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/ -isystem /mingw/gcc-4.8.1/i686-pc-mingw32/include -isystem /mingw/gcc-4.8.1/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-include configure:20617: result: /f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/./gcc/collect-ld configure:20624: checking if the linker (/f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/./gcc/collect-ld) is GNU ld configure:20639: result: yes configure:20676: checking for ld version configure:20687: result: 22200 configure:20714: checking for ld that supports -Wl,--gc-sections configure:20717: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. I tried to perform the last check by running the command, and the result: Fnems@Fnems-Oak ~ $ /f/res_mygcc/gcc-4.8.1/build-20130818/./gcc/collect-ld -Wl,--gc-sections D:\MinGW2012\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: unrecognized option '-Wl,--gc-sections' D:\MinGW2012\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: use the --help option for usage information anyone can help me ? I've no idea what caused this error... Thanks for any help
