Building from a combined tree of gcc and binutils using gcc-2.95.2, I get this error with "Fri Jan 14 01:28:39 UTC 2005" (no configure arguments, build gcc is gcc-2.95.2, ld used by bootstrap-gcc is /usr/ccs/bin/ld, as used by bootstrap-gcc is /usr/ccs/bin/as): ... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/tmp/hptmp/combined/binutils -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I/tmp/hptmp/combined/binutils -I../bfd -I/tmp/hptmp\ /combined/binutils/../bfd -I/tmp/hptmp/combined/binutils/../include -I/tmp/hptmp/combined/binutils/../intl -I../intl -DLOCALEDIR=\ "\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -Dbin_dummy_emulation=bin_vanilla_emulation -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -g \ -O2 -c /tmp/hptmp/combined/binutils/filemode.c /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o f\ ilemode.o ../bfd/libbfd.la ../libiberty/libiberty.a mkdir .libs gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a \ ../libiberty/libiberty.a Undefined first referenced symbol in file libintl_bindtextdomain size.o libintl_gettext size.o libintl_dgettext ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a(archive.o) libintl_textdomain size.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

Yes, this is the binutils build breaking, but building binutils *by itself* succeeds. It seems that the "intl" subdir component of gcc is at fault. I recall it has been this way for a long time. Usually --disable-nls helps, but see also binutils PR 673. -- Summary: gcc+binutils combined fails bootstrap Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: hp at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19468
