First, this bug report is very similar to the closed bug 35693. I could find no way to re-open that bug report, and in any case this is a different version of gcc, a different machine etc.
I believe the 'solution' given there, which involves setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not really the right answer, and instead the code should be fixed. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be used as a last resort - see for example 'Why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is bad' http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/_/ldpath.html 'The evil LD_LIBRARY_PATH' http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2002-May/014159.html gcc has been told the location of the library with switches - it should not need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. This bug comes up time and again. Numerous people find it. Really the code should be fixed, and not workarounds suggested. ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/sfw/bin/gld --with-gmp=/usr/local/gmp-4.3.1-Solaris-10-u4-ABI=32-gcc-3.4.3 --with-mpfr=/usr/local/mpfr-2.4.1p5-Solaris-10-u4-gcc-3.4.3 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.0 fails with: checking for sparc-sun-solaris2.10-strip... strip checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc... /home/kirkby/build-gcc-4.4.0/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/kirkby/build-gcc-4.4.0/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ -B/usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/include -isystem /usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/sys-include checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/home/kirkby/build-gcc-4.4.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/libgcc': configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile See `config.log' for more details. make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kirkby/build-gcc-4.4.0' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kirkby/build-gcc-4.4.0' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 -- Summary: configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: david dot kirkby at onetel dot net GCC host triplet: Sun T5240 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40360
