Hello Bruce, In the past, people who have included gcc-build within gcc-<x.y.z> ended up having errors in the build process from building within the gcc source tree. Since you tested that with ch5, then ch6 should be okay. I suppose it depends on the gcc version. The problem occured many years ago. We have stuck with this for the longest time: https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html "First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory from the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported."
