------- Comment #2 from rob1weld at aol dot com 2009-02-14 01:19 ------- A quick hack in ../gcc_trunk/libgcc/configure (line 2065) to add "-m64" to the 'ac_compile' and 'ac_link' lines will allow the build to proceed through libgcc to libgcov where it then fails due to an issue unrelated to this Bug.
Once I get the 'Build Path' constructed I'll go back and make correct patches to the correct files. > Andrew: the -X86_64 option is not being passed to as which is a bug in the > specs. I am glad I am not the only one who sees there is something needing fixing in order for all (most) Platforms to compile with a 'similar logic method' (to the extent possible). I don't like to see parts of the Build getting skipped when they could easily work the same as they do on another Platform. A big part of Porting is to get a 'similar' program on different Platforms. Some Software Manufacturers make 'nearly identical versions' on quite different Platforms will well received results. I can appreciate that we are not striving for "identical" but we ought to avoid having 100 dozen ways of building gcc as a result of having a half dozen ways of asking how it is to be built (for each HTB).
