Hi Andrew, I have the CFLAGS for 2 reasons: 1. I have the mpfr and gmp libs in non standard locations, so I want to make sure that the gcc install looks at the correct places. 2. -fPIC has always been set in all the other gcc versions that I have compiled through CFLAGS. So, I did not think about this issue until you pointed it out. Now, I have a question: Do I need to exclude -fPIC for the other platform (e.g. x86_64) builds when I build gcc 4.3.1? I have tried building 4.3.1 in SLES10 with -fPIC option , and it built OK for me. Thanks. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36622
