Too old. And, with the configure line you indicated (i.e. not specifying a special assembler and linker), it is going to be used. So, you need to use more recent binutils. (2.13.1 was released almost 6 years ago.) > BUT ... the configure output seems to indicate that the build as and ld used > here are NOT the system's (unless something devious that I am missing is going > on)... Are you talking about the use of /usr2/local/src/gcc-4.3-20080204/gcc-linux/./gcc/as? I think it's a symbol link to the system "as" (or a short script calling said system "as"). It's a bit misleading, but it's due to the way the build system works to be relocatable. > AND the bug report cited (10877) seems to indicate that a runtime error > results, not the linker error seen here. But PR10877 just mentions the first time a newer binutils was required. After that, once it we require binutils >= 2.13.1, we can use all the new features in that version without keeping track of them (because we're then garanteed to have it present, it's a build requirement). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35471
