Hello Mark and others, I did build onto the machine's local file system and encountered the same error. I then went back and read through all of the configure options listed via ./configure --help. I notice, in addition to --prefix, the --enable-deterministic-archives might be worth trying as it is the only option which mentions anything about archives, and based on the binutils description of -D regarding setting uid and guids to zero it made sense because the make check error complained about ar_uid. This worked, and I was able to install the latest version 0.175 into the NFS allocation as originally planned. My configure line using GCC 8.0.2 ended up like this: ./configure --prefix=$eupref --enable-deterministic-archives CC=gcc 2>&1 | tee ../build-out-files/2018_1212_elfutils-0.175_gcc-8.2.0_configure-01.out. Thank you for your input and advice. I am happy to have this solved. Regards, -Rashawn -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
