My build completed as it has done for the last 15 years. I configure trunk as follows: #! /bin/sh CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc7 export CC CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++7 export CXX ../gcc/configure --prefix=$HOME/work/x --enable-languages=c,fortran \ --enable-bootstrap --disable-nls --enable-checking=yes \ --enable-maintainer-mode Perhaps, disabling NLS and restricting languages to c/c++ and fortran is sufficient to avoid the problems you saw with --enable-maintainer-mode.
