Jim Wilson <wilson at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |wilson at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #3 from Jim Wilson <wilson at gcc dot gnu.org> --- There is no python requirement for building a riscv linux compiler. It is only needed if the user specifies the optional --with-arch configure option, and if the user specifies a non-canonical form of the architecture string in the --with-arch option string. Otherwise gcc will build fine without python. A later patch fixed this to check for python before using it, after Andreas Schwab complained about this.
