problem in compiling gcc6.4.0 using gcc8.1.1

problem in compiling gcc6.4.0 using gcc8.1.1

[C.J.]

Dear specialists,

I tried to install gcc6.4.0 in Fedora28, while something wrong happened as
following.

    In file included from ../.././libgcc/unwind-dw2.c:401:0:
    ./md-unwind-support.h: In function ‘x86_64_fallback_frame_state’:
    ./md-unwind-support.h:65:47: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete
type ‘struct ucontex_t’
           sc = (struct sigcontext *) (void *) &uc_->uc_mcontext;
                                                   ^~

And at the end the message is here:

    make[3]: *** [../.././libgcc/shared-object.mk:14: unwind-dw2.o] Error 1
    make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
    make[3]: Leaving directory

    make[2]: *** [Makefile:17378: all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2

    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/rx/program/gcc-6.4.0'
    make: *** [Makefile:914: all] Error 2

I have try the previous solution(
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46999900/how-to-compile-gcc-6-4-0-with-gcc-7-2-in-archlinux)
, but it still failed.
Am I missing something? Thank you!

PS: This problem is also posted in stackoverflow(
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52498431/compile-gcc6-4-0-using-gcc8-1-1
)

Best regards!

Are you sure the error says "ucontex_t"? That's not a valid type. It
should be either "struct ucontext" or ucontext_t. Not "struct
ucontex_t".

Assuming it really says "struct ucontext" the fix you need is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/libgcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h?r1=249731&r2=249730&pathrev=249731

Thank you for your informations!

However, there are still many bug in gcc-6.4.0 installation(see attachment
below). It seems something complicated, but it's necessary for the
installation of some soft.
Is there a solution for all the bugs, like a bug-fixed 6.4.0 version? I
need to install a old version gcc(<7.0). Thank you!

Regards!

These are only warnings not bugs, what's the problem?

You could try a snapshot of the GCC 6 branch, such as
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-09/msg00087.html

Thank you. I took a mistake that it was failure in installation.
