[Bug bootstrap/32829] New: CVS bootstrap failure with as: unrecognised option -Qy

[brian dot sidebotham at gmail dot com]

A very old report from v2.97 seems very similar, but had no infomation about
the cause - see:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2034

Bootstrapping gcc fails with the error:
/home/brian/public/gnu/arm-elf/install.unix/arm-elf/bin/as: unrecognised option
`-Qy`

Where ...arm-elf/bin/as is a current binutils cvs version just compiled

The configure line is:
../src/configure --target=arm-elf --enable-interwork --enable-multilib
--enable-languages=c --without-headers
--prefix=/home/brian/public/gnu/arm-elf/install.unix

The command that causes the error is:
gcc -c   -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE  -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition
-Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-common   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I.

../../gcc/gcc/genmodes.c

The pre-processed file is available at http://www.valvers.com/genmodes.i

The output of adding -v -save-temps to the command is:

Earlier in the build, I get a line which I've just noticed scanning through
some logs:

CONFIGURE:14040: test - Too many arguments

I suspect this is the cause of the problem, as it checks the version of as
being used and enables leb128 if as > 2.11

I am not near my linux box at the moment, so cannot fix the line and re-build
to make sure this is the problem.

appologies, in my previous post:

CONFIGURE:14040: test - Too many arguments

should more accurately read - 

${srcdir}/gcc/configure:14040: test - Too many arguments

`-V'

> /home/brian/public/gnu/arm-elf/install.unix/arm-elf/bin/as: unrecognised option
`-Qy`

So what is the real error?

Here is the output of a correctly built and installed toolchain:

> arm-elf-as -V
arm-elf-as: unrecognized option `-V'

> arm-elf-as -Qy
arm-elf-as: unrecognized option `-Qy'

I don't think it's a binutils error, because the arm-elf target has never
supported -Qy or -V. I thought that gcc made a decision depending on what tools
it was making as to whether it would emit those options or not, hence why I
posted the problem here.

I can only go on what I've read over the internet though, as I don't even know
what these options do, they are not documented in the gas documentation as far
as I can see.

I have seen some comments suggesting this error could be thrown up if there is
a $PATH error. I will investigate to make sure the PATH is emitted correctly in
my build script too.

Or, are you saying that binutils must now support -Qy and -V for the arm-elf
target?

Thanks for your time.

Brian.

I can successfully build gcc cvs if I have the install dir in my $PATH so I
expect this is my fault. Apologies for taking up anyone's time!
