1. Output from running srcdir/config.guess: i686-pc-linux-gnu
2. The output of gcc -v for my newly installed gcc: Reading specs from /opt/gcc-3.3.6/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.6/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.3.6 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.6 3. I downloaded and enabled only "core" and "g++". 4. The distribution name and version: Hand-crafted, based on the first release of an ancient bare-bones distro named "coredistro" (http://coredistro.sf.net), which was, in turn, based on LFS (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org), and is now, to my knowledge, defunct. 5. The version of the Linux kernel: 2.4.31 vanilla 6. The version of glibc you used: 2.2.4. Binutils is 2.16.1. Two notes: a) First I tried to disable the fixincludes script as suggested in http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-museum/5.1.1/LFS-BOOK-5.1.1-HTML/chapter05/gcc-pass2.html, because I plan to update my glibc, so that I can use gcc-4. After I manually realized http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/5.1.1/gcc-3.3.3-no_fixincludes-1.patch, the build failed at the first invocation of xgcc. I started from the beginning, letting fixincludes run, and everything worked. b) After installation I tried to compile one C and one C++ two-liner. Both C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH were set to /usr/include:/usr/local/include. g++ was unable to compile the two-liner until I removed /usr/include from CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. Then it succeeded.
