problem building gcc on ia64-hpux machine

[edu m]

I want to build gcc-4.3 on a ia64-hpu11.23.
I've dowload binutils and do this for configure:

../gcc/configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-languages=c
--with-mpfr=/home/ulc/es/mas/pardeiro/src/mpfr-2.3.0/
--with-gmp=/home/ulc/es/mas/pardeiro/src/gmp-4.2.2/
--with-as=/home/ulc/es/mas/pardeiro/src/binutils-2.18/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/bin/as

When do make obtain this error:

config.status: creating mkheaders.almost
config.status: creating config.h
Make: line 51: syntax error.  Stop.

*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

why???

It looks like you're not using GNU make.

That isn't the mistake, I'm using GNU make.

I'm not the expert to tell you "why" but after struggling for some  
hours on the same OS i can tell you how it works for me compiling  
gcc-4.2.2 :

../configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.2.2 --with-gnu-as  
--with-as=/usr/local/bin/gnu-as --without-gnu-ld  
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls --enable-threads=posix  
--enable-languages=c,c++

We also do "export LANG=C" before configure to prevent trouble and you  
should use the GNU sed/awk or you may get "stack growth error" at some  
point of the build. For the binutils on Itanium we have to use "export  
LEXLIB=" "" to prevent errors at link stage.
We have finally managed to get gcc compile on Solaris 7, Solaris 9,  
AIX 5.3, HPUX 11.11 (PA) and HPUX 11.23 (IA64).
The last one was the worst BTW.

BTW : Does anyone have experince how good GCC is on optimizing for Itanium??

   That error message is not a GNU Make one, is it?
