Hello,
I made some changes in the compiler gcc-4.3.2 and am currently trying
to build the compiler.
There are no compilation error in the source code. I followed the
steps specified at : http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html
while configuring i used the command:
root@vebs-pc:/home/vebs/gcc/gcc# export SUF=-4.3
root@vebs-pc:/home/vebs/gcc/gcc# /home/vebs/gcc/gcc-4.3.2/configure
--program-suffix=$SUF
root@vebs-pc:/home/vebs/gcc/gcc# make -f Makefile
it exits and gives the following output.. whose last few lines are:
******************************************
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... /home/vebs/gcc/gcc/./gcc/xgcc
-B/home/vebs/gcc/gcc/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/
-B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem
/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem
/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot
compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/vebs/gcc/gcc'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vebs/gcc/gcc'
make: *** [all] Error 2
******************************************
I have tried configuring it:
1. without suffix
2. exporting suffix in environment variable and using that environment
variable as suffix
3. without using environment variable as suffix
but none of the above methods worked.
Please tell me where I am wrong.
Thank You.

As the configure output says:
See `config.log' for more details.
Your existing compiler is not working correctly, see config.log for
more details of what is failing.
There is no need to crosspost this to gcc and gcc-patches, please
follow up on gcc-help.

Since I see this often, I added a FAQ to the wiki:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure_suffix
Cheers,
Manuel.
