I just tried to bootstrap gcc 4.5 mainline snapshot 20090730 and it failed when comparing stage 2 and stage3.
There is the output Comparing stages 2 and 3 warning: gcc/cc1-checksum.o differs warning: gcc/cc1plus-checksum.o differs Bootstrap comparison failure! x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/vec.o differs x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_globals.o differs x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_alloc.o differs x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/locale.o differs configure line was ../src/gcc-4.5-20090730/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/home/dcb/gcc/20090730/results --enable-checking --enable-build-with-cxx The previous snapshot 20090723 also failed to bootstrap but the one before that 20090716 bootstrapped fine. I suspect a code change somewhere between 20090716 and 20090723. -- Summary: bootstrap failure for 20090730 with --enable-build- with-cxx Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: dcb314 at hotmail dot com GCC host triplet: x86_64-suse-linux http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40923
