Bug ID: 63509
Summary: Misleading error message when building gcc without C++
compiler installed
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sajarvis at bu dot edu

Full output during make.
When building gcc with no C++ compiler installed, configuration succeeds, then
make fails with error message:
configure: error: error verifying int64_t uses long long
Steps to cause:
1) Don't install a C++ compiler
2) $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/dev/gcc/bld --enable-multilib
3) $ make
I think the error should be more specific to the issue (no C++ compiler found)
and probably caught earlier.
System:
Fedora 20, Linux 3.16
building gcc trunk, version r216105
