This bug is still present in 4.2.1 but now happens on both fc5 and fc6

/space/projects/reference/tools/arm-elf-gnu/4.2.0/gcc-build-926ej-s/./gc
c/as

still remains the two line script

------- Comment #4 from mfouts at danger dot com  2007-07-24 05:17 -------
OK, so this one's weird and starts out as a user error.

If the path specified in --prefix=/usr/local/armdev-$CPU-4.2.0 in the original
config is *not* writable by the account running the build, the make all-gcc
fails with the bizarre error indicated in the original bug report.

If the path specified *is* writable, then the build finishes just fine.

I have a similar bug, so I am posting here (otherwise I can open a new bug).

I run:
./configure --target=mipsel-semb-elf --prefix=/scratch/semb/semb/
--disable-libssp --with-newlib --enable-languages=c --disable-threads
--disable-shared --without-include-headers

Then make fails with the following:

          MULTILIB_CFLAGS="" T= crtbegin.o crtend.o crti.o crtn.o
make[4]: Entering directory
`/scratch/semb/gcc-4.2.2/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc'

          -c ../.././gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \
          -o crtbegin.o
exec: 2: -G: not found
make[4]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1


I am running on Ubuntu (in case that maters). This seems to be a bug, since
this command runs properly on gcc-4.1 (just downloaded a fresh copy and tested
it).

I have the same problem: line 2: exec: -m: invalid option

Trying to build 4.2, the directory specified in --prefix *is* writable by the
user running the build.

This doesn't appear with any of the release branches (4.3, 4.4) or trunk
currently. Can this now be closed out ?
