Thanks! I'm very grateful for your help. I succeeded in building gcc-4.7.4 from almost no binary seeds[0] for GuixSD! The weird error in Subject was caused by configure+make (and my usage of configure flags, environment settings) trying to use CC_FOR_BUILD (the i368-unknow-linux-gcc 2.95.3 compiler) to build libgcc2.c Here's the configure that I used, which works. ../build/configure\ --build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu\ --host=i686-unknown-linux-gnu\ --with-native-system-header-dir=/gnu/store/lwadx3lm73f8rmy8cvwijrflb9wgcm7j-glibc-mesboot-2.2.5/include\ --with-build-sysroot=/gnu/store/lwadx3lm73f8rmy8cvwijrflb9wgcm7j-glibc-mesboot-2.2.5/include\ --prefix=/gnu/store/bci6j4dfrmkfzqbpbbcz5ypk8xmr0j5z-gcc-mesboot-4.7.4\ --disable-bootstrap\ --disable-decimal-float\ --disable-libatomic\ --disable-libcilkrts\ --disable-libgomp\ --disable-libitm\ --disable-libmudflap\ --disable-libquadmath\ --disable-libsanitizer\ --disable-libssp\ --disable-libvtv\ --disable-lto\ --disable-lto-plugin\ --disable-multilib\ --disable-plugin\ --disable-shared\ --disable-threads\ --enable-languages=c\ --enable-static\ --enable-threads=single\ --disable-libstdc__-v3\ --disable-libstdcxx-pch\ --disable-build-with-cxx Greetings, janneke [0] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/mes.scm?h=wip-bootstrap -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@xxxxxxx> | GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org Freelance IT http://JoyofSource.com | Avatar® http://AvatarAcademy.com
