Summary: presence of gcc subdir with . in PATH causes breakdown
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: driver
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If a directory in PATH contains a subdirectory gcc/ (with executable access),
gcc fails to find its subprograms:
$ PATH=/tmp:$PATH
$ mkdir /tmp/gcc
$ gcc hello.c
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
$ rmdir /tmp/gcc
$ gcc hello.c
$
If this behavior is explained or implicit in the documentation, sorry; I
couldn't find it. It happens in at least gcc 4.5.x and 4.6.0. I'm sure it
wasn't always this way.
