This is a strange result, I seem to have everything I wanted, fortran and ada etc but no actual gcc file.
If I look at the final output in the $DEST/bin ddir I see this, sorted by inodes numbers with blank lines added for clarity : # ls -lapin bin | sort -n | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' otal 92092 117274 drwxr-xr-x 8 0 1 512 Feb 6 20:05 ../ 320544 drwxr-xr-x 2 0 1 512 Feb 6 20:15 ./ 320545 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 4180292 Feb 6 19:56 gnatbind 320546 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 68796 Feb 6 19:56 gnatbl 320547 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 2541072 Feb 6 19:57 gnatchop 320548 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 5640680 Feb 6 19:57 gnat 320549 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 658096 Feb 6 19:57 gnatkr 320550 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 1861876 Feb 6 19:57 gnatlink 320551 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 2227308 Feb 6 19:57 gnatls 320552 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 7927520 Feb 6 19:58 gnatmake 320553 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 4314000 Feb 6 19:58 gnatname 320554 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 2946072 Feb 6 19:58 gnatprep 320555 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 2401060 Feb 6 19:58 gnatxref 320556 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 2403280 Feb 6 19:58 gnatfind 320557 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 5429992 Feb 6 19:59 gnatclean 320558 -rwxr-xr-x 4 0 1 586632 Feb 6 20:05 c++ 320558 -rwxr-xr-x 4 0 1 586632 Feb 6 20:05 g++ 320558 -rwxr-xr-x 4 0 1 586632 Feb 6 20:05 sparc-sun-solaris2.8-c++ 320558 -rwxr-xr-x 4 0 1 586632 Feb 6 20:05 sparc-sun-solaris2.8-g++ 320559 -rwxr-xr-x 2 0 1 589612 Feb 6 20:05 gfortran 320559 -rwxr-xr-x 2 0 1 589612 Feb 6 20:05 sparc-sun-solaris2.8-gfortran 320560 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 188324 Feb 6 20:15 gcov 320561 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 16191 Feb 6 20:15 gccbug 320562 -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 1 583720 Feb 6 20:15 cpp The thing that is missing entirely is gcc and then sparc-sun-solaris2.8-gcc and sparc-sun-solaris2.8-gcc-4.3.3 which are all hardlinks on the same inode number. In the build directory I do have an xgcc and it looks to be fine : $ gcc/xgcc --version xgcc (GCC) 4.3.3 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I kept a detailed log of the entired build/bootstrap process as well as the insatll process. I did see this in the logs : /export/nfs/build/gnu/GCC/gcc-4.3.3/install-sh: gprmake does not exist. gmake[2]: [ada.install-common] Error 1 (ignored) I also saw : /export/nfs/build/gnu/GCC/gcc-4.3.3/install-sh: gnatdll does not exist. gmake[2]: [ada.install-common] Error 1 (ignored) not too sure what the implications of that are. In any case . .the gcc binary is missing in action .. did make install fail in some weird way ? Dennis
