Hi there, First time messenger here, just wondering if anyone may be able to help me out with an issue I'm having. I'm trying to compile GCC 4.5.4 for IRIX 5.3XFS (As based on the changelogs the 4.5.X branch is the last before IRIX support was removed completely). I've downloaded the binaries built by Tgcware (https://jupiterrise.com/tgcware/irix5.3/stable/) for GCC, binutils, glibc, make, automake and so forth but I continue to have some issues when I start the ./configure stage of the process. I typically get an error from config.log which reads, Object file format error in: /usr/tgcware/gcc45/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix5.3/4.5.3/irix-crti.o: bad symbolic header (magic number) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status It's calling ld from, /usr/bin/../lib/ld And then the build process stops, saying that the C Compiler cannot be found and that it cannot built executables. I've been able to build autoconf and automake without issue, so I'm wondering if anyone else may have some ideas as to what I could try? For some more info, my machine is an, - SGI Indigo2 - IP22 Mainboard - IRIX 5.3 XFS - 256MB of RAM - R4400 150MHz CPU - 73GB HDD - Extreme Graphics - GCC 4.5.3, autoconf 2.68, automake 1.11.1, Bash 4.0.44, binutils 2.22, libgcc_s1 4.5.3, mpc 0.9, mpfr 3.1.0, make 3.82 Any help would be appreciated as I'm hoping to get as "modern" of a set of utilities on here as I can. I've had a similar issue building a few other GNU utilities so hopefully if we can sort this out, I'll be able to sort out the others too. Thanks for taking my question! Best regards, Darcy L. C.
