gcc "make bootstrap" compare error

gcc "make bootstrap" compare error

[matthew padilla]

Hi,

We're trying (first time) to install GCC 3.3.2 on our HP Unix, and are 
encountering some problems.
In order to install, we followed these steps:
1) installed gnu make
ok, with exception of a few warnings ("pointer not assignment compatible", 
etc.)
All tests passed.
2) created gcc directory structure:
/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.3.2        (source)
/gnu/gcc/install-3.3.2      (install)
/gnu/gcc/obj-3.3.2         (obj)
3) cd /gnu/gcc/obj-3.3.2
configure as follows:
../gcc-3.3.2/configure --prefix='/gnu/gcc/install-3.3.2' 
--enable-languages=c,c++
(some warnings, but successful completion)
4) build as follows:
/gnu/make/install-3.80/bin/make bootstrap
logfile presented errors as:
"
Comparing stage2 and stage3 of the compiler
...
Bootstrap comparison failure!
alias.o differs
attribs.o differs
bb-reorder.o differs
...
make[1]: *** [compare] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/gnu/gcc/obj-3.3.2/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
"

I did a spot-check of the object files in question, and indeed they are 
different, at least
in terms of size.  For instance: (partial "ls -l" output)
174756 Dec 11 16:04 ./obj-3.3.2/gcc/stage1/alias.o
46880 Dec 11 16:15 ./obj-3.3.2/gcc/stage2/alias.o

Should there be a "stage3" version as well?  And, what could be the cause of 
a comparison
problem like this?

Any assistance appreciated
Thank you,
Matt

Hello,

have you read:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#hppa*-hp-hpux10>?
You don't say what assembler you're building with
but...

If you're building with HP assembler, you can do make
all after make bootstrap, and the build should
succeed.

Alternatively build/install GNU binutils and tell GCC
to use it
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html#with-gnu-as>.

Cheers,

Dara
