[Bug bootstrap/34045] New: gcc does not build on Debian etch AMD64

[laurent dot bonnaud at inpg dot fr]

Hi,

I tried to compile gcc 4.2.2 from source on Debian etch AMD64 and failed.  I
used the system compiler:

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../src/configure -v
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang --prefix=/usr
--enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls
--program-suffix=-4.1 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu
--enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-mpfr --enable-checking=release
x86_64-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)

Here is what I did and got in return:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.2
[No error]
$ make bootstrap

What happens if you don't build in the source directory?

Use --disable-multilib as you don't have a full install of GNU/Linux glibc on
x86_64 which includes the 32bits headers/libraries.

Wouldn't it be nice if the configure script caught this sort of thing
automatically?

It's obviously going to be a very common problem.

The --disable-multilib options allowed me to build gcc.  Thank you for the tip!

However, it was my understanding that if "./configure" does not fail, "make
bootstrap" should not fail.
