With current trunk (151649), bootstrap fails during the comparison stage when --disable-checking is used. GCC was built with:
$ ../configure --disable-checking $ make -j4 which ultimately results in: make "DESTDIR=" "RPATH_ENVVAR=LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "TARGET_SUBDIR=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" "bindir=/usr/local/bin" "datadir=/usr/local/share" "exec_prefix=/usr/local" "includedir=/usr/local/include" "datarootdir=/usr/local/share" "docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/" "infodir=/usr/local/share/info" "pdfdir=/usr/local/share/doc/" "htmldir=/usr/local/share/doc/" "libdir=/usr/local/lib" "libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec" "lispdir=" "localstatedir=/usr/local/var" "mandir=/usr/local/share/man" "oldincludedir=/usr/include" "prefix=/usr/local" "sbindir=/usr/local/sbin" "sharedstatedir=/usr/local/com" "sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc" "tooldir=/usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" "build_tooldir=/usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" "target_alias=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" "AWK=gawk" "BISON=bison" "CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc" "CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=-g -O2" "CXX_FOR_BUILD=g++" "EXPECT=expect" "FLEX=flex" "INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -c" "INSTALL_DATA=/usr/bin/install -c -m 644" "INSTALL_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/install -c" "INSTALL_SCRIPT=/usr/bin/install -c" "LDFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=" "LEX=flex" "M4=m4" "MAKE=make" "RUNTEST=runtest" "RUNTESTFLAGS=" "SED=/bin/sed" "SHELL=/bin/sh" "YACC=bison -y" "`echo 'ADAFLAGS=' | sed -e s'/[^=][^=]*=$/XFOO=/'`" "ADA_CFLAGS=" "AR_FLAGS=rc" "`echo 'BOOT_ADAFLAGS=-gnatpg -gnata' | sed -e s'/[^=][^=]*=$/XFOO=/'`" "BOOT_CFLAGS=-g -O2" "BOOT_LDFLAGS=" "CFLAGS=-g -O2" "CXXFLAGS=-g -O2" "LDFLAGS=" "LIBCFLAGS=-g -O2" "LIBCXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates" "STAGE1_CHECKING=--enable-checking=yes,types" "STAGE1_LANGUAGES=c" "GNATBIND=no" "GNATMAKE=no" "AR_FOR_TARGET=ar" "AS_FOR_TARGET=as" "CC_FOR_TARGET=/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build/./gcc/" "CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g -O2" "CPPFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=" "CXX_FOR_TARGET=g++" "CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE" "DLLTOOL_FOR_TARGET=dlltool" "FLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-B/usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include" "GCJ_FOR_TARGET=" "GFORTRAN_FOR_TARGET=" "LD_FOR_TARGET=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.1/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld" "LIPO_FOR_TARGET=lipo" "LDFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=" "LIBCFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g -O2" "LIBCXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-implicit-templates" "NM_FOR_TARGET=nm" "OBJDUMP_FOR_TARGET=objdump" "RANLIB_FOR_TARGET=ranlib" "STRIP_FOR_TARGET=strip" "WINDRES_FOR_TARGET=windres" "WINDMC_FOR_TARGET=windmc" "BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-debug" "`echo 'LANGUAGES=' | sed -e s'/[^=][^=]*=$/XFOO=/'`" "LEAN=false" "STAGE1_CFLAGS=-g -fkeep-inline-functions" "STAGE1_TFLAGS=" "STAGE2_CFLAGS=-g -O2 -gtoggle" "STAGE2_TFLAGS=" "STAGE3_CFLAGS=-g -O2" "STAGE3_TFLAGS=" "STAGE4_CFLAGS=-g -O2" "STAGE4_TFLAGS=" "STAGEprofile_CFLAGS=-g -O2 -gtoggle -fprofile-generate" "STAGEprofile_TFLAGS=" "STAGEfeedback_CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fprofile-use" "STAGEfeedback_TFLAGS=" "TFLAGS=" "CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh" "MAKEINFO=makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000" compare make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build' rm -f stage_current make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build' Comparing stages 2 and 3 warning: gcc/cc1-checksum.o differs Bootstrap comparison failure! gcc/bitmap.o differs make[2]: *** [compare] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build' make[1]: *** [stage3-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dirtyepic/tmp/gcc-4.5-20090910/build' make: *** [all] Error 2 -- Summary: bootstrap comparison failure with --disable-checking Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: dirtyepic at gentoo dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41345
