Hi, I'm trying to build the cross compiler for arm-unknown-elf on 4.6.4 (I guess the last major version with support for the arch) and on the last step when compiling gcc in full. I get the following message: checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-zlib] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have tried suggestions I've found here, but they didn't help: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2012-07/msg00018.html Here are the commands I'm running. For the library versions: binutils-2.24.tar.bz2 gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 newlib-1.15.0.tar.gz. The scripts are known to work for these: binutils-2.17.tar.bz2 gcc-4.2.1.tar.bz2 newlib-1.15.0.tar.gz. I did update both gcc and binutils, but the latest newlib has other issues, namely some assembly can not be compiled! (cd binutils_build ; \ ../binutils_sources/configure -v --quiet --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX \ --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \ --disable-werror ) (cd binutils_build ; make all install 2>&1 | tee $BUILDSOURCES/make.log) (cd gcc_build ; \ ../gcc_sources/configure -v --quiet --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX \ --with-newlib --without-headers --with-gnu-as \ --with-gnu-ld --disable-shared --enable-languages=c \ --disable-werror ) (cd gcc_build ; make all-gcc install-gcc 2>&1 | tee $BUILDSOURCES/make.log) (cd $PREFIX/newlib_build ; \ ../newlib_sources/configure -v --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX \ --disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls --enable-interwork --enable-multilib \ --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --disable-newlib-io-float \ --disable-werror ) (cd $PREFIX/newlib_build ; make all install 2>&1 | tee $BUILDSOURCES/make.log) (cd gcc_build && rm -rf * ; \ ../gcc_sources/configure -v --quiet --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX \ --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c \ --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-newlib \ --with-headers=${PREFIX}/newlib_sources/newlib/libc/include \ --disable-werror) (cd gcc_build ; make all install 2>&1 | tee $BUILDSOURCES/make.log) The host is Linux peter 3.13.0-32-generic #57~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:50:54 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The host gcc is: gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3 The real reason why I'm building a new one is that I'd like to see whether 4.6.4 can give any kind of improvements over 4.2.1 (most importantly size improvements) and also I'm wondering whether __builtin_return_address will work for other than 0 parameters. Thanks for your help in advance. Cheers, Peter
