Title: Building gcc-2.7.2 on RedHat Linux 6.2





Hi,
I'd like to build gcc-2.7.2 on RedHat Linux 6.2 on Pentium III CPU.


I'm trying this:
#./configure
Invalid configuration: 'i686-unknown-linux': machine 'i686-unknown' not recognized


Then I'm trying this:
#./configure --host=i386-redhat-linux
#make
...
<some_path>/bin/ld.real: cannot open crtbegin.o: no such file


But I checked - this file is in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66 !
What's wrong? 
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.


Sincerely,
Volodymyr Cholak

  That's not so surprising.  The Pentium 2 didn't exist back when gcc 
2.7.2 was written.

  That's a better idea, i386 should be compatible with all x86 series.

>#make 

  Is there a reason why you aren't doing 'make bootstrap' ?

  What output do you get from 'gcc -v' and from 'gcc -print-search-dirs' ?
What output do you get from 'ld.real -v' ?
