[Bug bootstrap/29482] libcpp/configure - no usable dependency style found

["aschorr at telemetry-investments dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

------- Comment #5 from aschorr at telemetry-investments dot com  2007-03-15 13:22 -------
FYI, I had this same problem trying to build gcc-4.1.2 on Solaris 8.
After a lot of experimentation, I found that it could be solved by
changing my PATH so that any invocations of 'make' will actually result
in the execution of gnu make, and not the bundled solaris make.
It seems that just running the toplevel 'gmake bootstrap' with
gnu make is not sufficient: there are embedded calls to 'make' down
below, and you need to have your PATH configured in such a way that
these calls to 'make' will end up running gnu make.

Once I made this change, I was able to complete 'make bootstrap' with
no problems at all.  However, for some reason I was unable to chase
down, 'make install' still failed with gcc-4.1.2.  But this bug must
have been fixed shortly after the release of gcc-4.1.2, because I
was able to build and install a gcc-4.1.3 prerelease snapshot
from 20070312 with no problems at all (given that 'make' is now
resolving to gnu make).

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Andy
