--- Comment #9 from Mateusz Zych <mte.zych at gmail dot com> --- Hi ;) I've analysed this issue further and tested all combinations of different vendors in host and target triplets. Here are the results: +-----------------------------------+ | host | |-----------------------------------| | ---- | glibc |unknown | pc | +------------+-----------------------------------+ | | ---- | FAIL | PASS | PASS | FAIL | | t |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | a | glibc | PASS | FAIL | PASS | PASS | | r |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | g |unknown | PASS | PASS | FAIL | PASS | | e |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | t | pc | FAIL | PASS | PASS | FAIL | +------------+-----------------------------------+ Looks like building isolated compiler (target == host) doesn't work at all and for some reason cross-compiling by combining no vendor with pc vendor fails as well. Note that, all failing configurations are encountering the same issue with compilation of libstdc++-v3 during first GCC build: checking whether the /home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc-first-build/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc-first-build/./gcc/ -B/home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include linker (/home/mzych/Downloads/build-many-glibcs/gcc-first-build/./gcc/collect-ld -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. Makefile:18985: recipe for target 'configure-stage1-target-libstdc++-v3' failed Initially I was thinking that there might be something wrong with the script, which I've used to build GCC (CreateToolchain.sh), but it seems unlikely, since other configurations work without any issues. To me this looks very surprising that changing vendor in a triplet causes GCC to fail to compile. Can somebody help with figuring out what's going on here? I think that the script CreateToolchain.sh could benefit the whole GCC community, because developers could use it to compile GCC by simply choosing desired configuration. Thank you, Mateusz
