C compiler used :
Sun Studio 10
Here how I configured gcc :
/usr/local/inst/gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
--with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-languages=c,c++
The 'make bootstrap' step of the build process fails. I am using the proper
version of GNU make,tar, bzip2, as recommended by the installation instructions.
It turns out that this configure script :
gcc-4.0.0/libcpp/configure
contains a bug. Specifically, line 2760 is
if test $GCC = yes; then
This causes configure to fail on Sun Solaris 2.9 (SPARC) using the Sun
Studio 10 C compiler, since $GCC expands to an empty string and
test then complains about missing arguments. Changing line 2760 to
if test "$GCC" = yes; then
fixes the problem. I don't know much about Autoconf, but I think
the problem might be stemming from line 53 in gcc-4.0.0/config/warnings.m4 :
AS_IF([test $GCC = yes],
