--- Comment #2 from Heiko Eißfeldt <heiko at hexco dot de> --- As I see it, there are multiple issues with the current approach. 1. Since absolute paths (as opposed to relative paths) are used, one cannot move the configured source tree to some other location and use it there. 2. Some problematic character [@: ] in the base directory path can screw up the whole setup, so it is a bit fragile. 3. The documentation (https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html) does not mention this requirement. 4. The size of the generated Makefile is well above 900 kilobytes, making an analysis to fix the original issue unnecessary difficult. IMHO there are better structured alternatives available (for example the schily build system from schilytools (sourceforge)). Thanks, Heiko
