--- Comment #6 from john henning <mailboxnotfound at yahoo dot com> ---
Let's simplify.
Per Richard's comment #1, there won't be a code fix. OK.
As to a doc fix, Richard wrote:
"For release versions your milage may vary and we fail to document working
version pairs"
YES - it would be nice if working pairs were documented in a list somewhere.
BUT - it might also be difficult to keep such a list updated.
So let's simplify. How about if
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/download.html
were to just include the generic advice that if you want to build them
together, then you should pick versions that were developed at about the same
timeframe.
(Yes, this is obvious advice once you understand that they have common
subdirectories, such as libiberty/. But it was not obvious to at least one
user; and if that advice had been present, the user might have avoided a side
track.)
I've started to bat around possible specific language and perhaps will propose
a specific patch along these lines.
