Re: Compiling gcc-3.4.6 on sparc Solaris 9

[Daniel Santos <daniel.dlds@gmail.com>]

Hello,

So I re-installed the gcc 3.4.6 from sunfkeeware packages. I am now able to do ./configure on the gcc base directory.
I got gmp-4.3.2, mpfr-2.4.2 and mpc-1.0.1 sources because gcc depends on them.
I compiled gmp-4.3.2 and it finished. I then did a ‘make check’ and at the end of the output i got :

make  check-TESTS

Which probably means that the gcc version I have installed is 32 bit. Am I correct ?
Can it be used to build a 64 bit 4.9.4 gcc ?

Thanks,
