Bootstrap of GCC 4.1.1, c and c++ only, for an AMD k6-2 config.guess: i586-pc-linux-gnu
gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i586-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --with-arch=k6-2 --enable-languages=c,c++ Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.1 (only core, gcc and g++ files downloaded) /etc/issue: Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l). uname -a: Linux dart 2.6.13rd3-15.11-default #3 Wed Jul 26 12:15:13 BST 2006 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux (Suse 10.0 kernel vmlinuz-2.6.13-15.11-default rebuilt for AMD k6-2, and slightly cut down) rpm -q glibc: glibc-2.3.5-40 Note 1: Despite not changing the documentation it was necessary to have the Texinfo package present. Without this the make failed, complaining about makeinfo not being available. Note 2: Even with just core, gcc and g++ downloaded the build seems to want to compile the libraries for java etc. (not good on a slow system). To stop this happening it was necessary to add "--enable-languages=c,c++" to the config command. Richard Driscoll
