Well, I tried with fastjar 0.98 [1] instead of fastjar 0.94 [2]. The result is that when fastjar is installed, if I try to build gcc 5.3.0, it works fine. So, installing a recent version of fastjar solves the problem. But I am wondering why gcc is using my external fastjar during the build. Is there a way to force gcc to not use this external dependency when fastjar is installed?
