Hi, I originally sent this to the gcc-help list [1]. I'm not sure if it's a bug in GCC or just an issue of some kind with my environment.
[1]: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2013-04/msg00090.html I'm trying to build and install GCC 4.7.2, and I'm getting the following error from the "install-mkheaders" target of gcc/Makefile: [...] /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/src/gcc/gsyslimits.h \ /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/dest/usr/lib/amd64-linux-eglibc/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/install-tools/gsyslimits.h /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 macro_list /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/dest/usr/lib/amd64-linux-eglibc/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/install-tools/macro_list /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 fixinc_list /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/dest/usr/lib/amd64-linux-eglibc/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/install-tools/fixinc_list set -e; for ml in `cat fixinc_list`; do \ multi_dir=`echo ${ml} | sed -e 's/^[^;]*;//'`; \ /bin/bash /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/src/gcc/../mkinstalldirs /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/dest/usr/lib/amd64-linux-eglibc/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/install-tools/include${multi_dir}; \ /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 include-fixed${multidir}/limits.h /home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/dest/usr/lib/amd64-linux-eglibc/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/install-tools/include${multi_dir}/limits.h; \ done /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `include-fixed/limits.h': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [install-mkheaders] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/gcc-build/gcc' make[2]: *** [install-gcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/gcc-build' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pj/distro/pkg/gcc-4.7/tmp/gcc-build' make: *** [install] Error 2 I've confirmed that gcc/include-fixed/limits.h is generated when I build GCC. I watched for changes to gcc/include-fixed/limits.h while I updated the "install" target of the top-level makefile: $ inotifywait --monitor --format '[%T] %f: %e' --timefmt '%T' gcc/include-fixed/ | grep -F -C 2 limits.h Setting up watches.

But as far as I can tell that target isn't being updated with the top-level "install" target. (Nor should it be, as far as I know.) Does anyone have any idea what's happening here? Why is gcc/include-fixed/limits.h being moved when updating the "install" target? Let me know if I can provide any other information that may help. My build system: * Linux 3.2.0 * EGLIBC 2.13 * GCC 4.7.2 * Binutils 2.22 Thanks, -- Patrick "P. J." McDermott http://www.pehjota.net/ http://www.pehjota.net/contact.html
