Terry, you have no f*cking idea what we do. The last time this happened was with gcc-2.6.1 / 2.6.3 about 8 years ago. We do not import after a configure. We import direct from the distributed tarballs. The following files: src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/auto-host.h src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/freebsd-native.h .. are vaguely based on stuff that configure generated and are hand tweaked to deal with the *freebsd* environment (eg: whether printf supports %p etc), rather than compiler configuration. The compiler and language configuration is done at runtime in the bmake files. eg: config.h hconfig.h: echo '#include "auto-host.h"' > ${.TARGET} echo '#include "gansidecl.h"' >> ${.TARGET} echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/xm-${GCC_ARCH}.h"' >> ${.TARGET} echo '#include "hwint.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .. tm.h: echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/${GCC_ARCH}.h"' > ${.TARGET} .if ${GCC_ARCH} == "i386" echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/att.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .endif echo '#include <freebsd.h>' >> ${.TARGET} echo '#include "dbxelf.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .if exists(${GCCDIR}/config/${GCC_ARCH}/elf.h) echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/elf.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .endif echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/freebsd.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .if ${GCC_ARCH} == "i386" echo '#include "${GCC_ARCH}/perform.h"' >> ${.TARGET} .endif echo '#include <freebsd-native.h>' >> ${.TARGET} About 8 years ago, this stuff was imported as generated by configure.
