This is the way to "compile" a header for PCH so this is not a bug.

How is it not a bug ?

A QoS issue, perhaps, but nonetheless. Suddenly a standard build
of GCC means you can never get the helpful error any more, and you
get some meaningless crap (meaningless to someone who does not know
what .gch is used for).

It is documented: <http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Precompiled-
Headers.html#Precompiled%20Headers> so still not a bug.

Just because something is documented does not make it not a bug.  The
documentation may well be wrong.

I would tend to agree with the original poster that this is a QoI regression.
The logical thing to do, here, would be to make the error message on failure to
write a PCH a bit more friendly.

Arguably creation of a PCH is an unusual operation and should require a special
switch such as --gen-pch.

In particular, the error should make some reference to what .gch is all
about.

With an explicit flag as suggested, it's reasonable that the user has
read the PCH docs. Without, perhaps something like :

fatal error: can't open /usr/include/malloc.h.gch for pre-compiled header
output: Permission denied

would help.

Created an attachment (id=4876)
 --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4876&action=view)
Provide more useful error messages for PCH

Currently untested patch. This should clarify what GCC is trying to do
when giving these error messages. For consistency I changed -Winvalid-pch
ones too, even though that would imply that the user knew what PCH was.
