Subject: make install fails due to "-Wno-overlength-strings"
Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY161-W254D7FF91841A3EF9D77EDC4D50@phx.gbl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <BAY161-W4717513A6F27D971B94EE3C4D50@phx.gbl>


I'm attempting to install gcc 4.3.6 on RHEL 5.5 x86_64 using the installed (default, from Redhat) gcc version 4.1.2.  Everything [except the `make install`] appears to work well.  Only the `make install` of gcc 4.3.6 fails.  It dies with this error:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-overlength-strings"

gmp,mpfr, and mpc all compiled without error, passed `make check`, and were installed via `make install.`  There were no issues.  GCC 4.3.6 compiles without error (make) and passes almost 96,000 tests before `make check` dies (after >2hrs using -j4).  GCC 4.3.6 was configured 
with:

../gcc-4.3.6/configure --prefix=/foo/HPC_apps/AMD --with-gmp-lib=/foo/HPC_apps/AMD/lib --with-gmp-include=/foo/HPC_apps/AMD/include --with-mpfr-include=/foo/HPC_apps/AMD/include --with-mpfr-lib=/foo/HPC_apps/AMD/lib

Please note that (per the instructions) I am NOT building in the source directory.  I Googled until I reached the end of the Internet... and, well, after that I decided to write this e-mail.  What gives?  Is there an environment variable that can be set to force gcc to not attempt to use this option (in the configure logs, it discovers that "-Wno-overlength-strings" is not an available option.  WTF?
