Any idea what might cause this error?
I am getting it during build up of the (full) gcc (4.5.2). The make log is:

Quick check with grep reveals that there are a couple of variants of
signal.h defined, though I have no idea what might be the one which
triggers this message.
[mz@test1 install]$ find . | grep signal.h

./powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/signal.h:extern
void psignal (int __sig, __const char *__s);
The source file strsignal.c:554 has this:
-------------------------------------------
#ifndef HAVE_PSIGNAL
void
psignal (int signo, char *message)
{
if (signal_names == NULL)
{
init_signal_tables ();
}
if ((signo <= 0) || (signo >= sys_nsig))
{
fprintf (stderr, "%s: unknown signal\n", message);
}
else
{
fprintf (stderr, "%s: %s\n", message, sys_siglist[signo]);
}
}
#endif /* ! HAVE_PSIGNAL */
------------------------------------------
So, I presume that if HAVE_PSIGNAL has not been defined for some reason
(which I think is what causes this error, I might be wrong though!) the
definition in strsignal.c differs from the one already found by gcc.
Ian, if you are reading this when I searched google for possible causes
I found your post (http://www.spinics.net/lists/gcchelp/msg28087.html),
but it was unclear to me as to whether this problem was solved in the
end or what was the root cause for this error.

This means that the libiberty configure script decided that your system
did not provide the psignal function, although it apparently does.
Look at libiberty/config.log to see if you can find out why libiberty
thinks your system does not support psignal.

I also do not recall.

It is very interesting what I just found! The crosstool-ng has a patch
for the (older) version of binutils (2.20.1) - I am currently using
2.21, so no patches are applied - called "libiberty-pic.patch", which
adds a single line "cp ${TARGETLIB} ../ ; \" to the Makefile.in in
liberty directory from the main binutils source tree. I am hoping this
patch deals with exactly that problem because much earlier versions of
this patch (for binutils 1.16.1) has a detailed explanation of what you
just summarised in your last paragraph above.
So, I have just moved this patch to my 2.21 tree and will see if it
fixes the problem (I have to wait about 40+ minutes though as this error
appears much later in the whole process when I am building the final
version of the gcc compiler, which is the last step of the whole build up!).

The config.log has exit code of 0 and "#define HAVE_PSIGNAL 1" as well
as the actual test returning a result "yes", so I am assuming that
everything is OK.

I'm sure Yann can give a better explanation, but we decided to stop
moving patches to newer versions of source components in crosstool-ng
until we can verify the patches with upstream maintainers.
I guess this would be a great time to ask if we can get this patch
merged upstream or at least check the validity of the patch with Ian.
Either way, thanks for testing the patch. Please let us know how the build goes.

I posted a couple of (very) detailed messages regarding my ongoing
experience with crosstool-ng to the crossgcc mailing list (problems, bug
fixes as well as questions and ideas), so I am sure when Yann or anyone
else interested in this will pick them up in due course.

Building (with the new patch) is running at present (about 25+ minutes
to go I reckon), so will post the result. If it fails I may as well
downgrade the binutils to version 2.20.1 because there are quite a few
patches there and I think I might have better luck. I did quite a lot of
modifications to the whole process though, but this is not the thread
for it - when I am done I will post the details on the crossgcc mailing
list. Fingers crossed...

Nope! Same error:

I am backtracking now and using 2.20.1 and see if this cures it...

Build failed at the same point with the same error even when I used
glibc-2.12.2 and binutils-2.20.1, so there must be something
fundamentally wrong there and at present I have no idea what that is.

Moving this conversation back to #crossgcc, as I believe the issue is
with crosstool-ng.
