Hi, I could not find out why my self-compiled compilers always use the specs file that they can find in the work-directory. I wanted to try rpms, but my basis distro is suse 6.2 (quite old) + self compiled packages. It does not like me to use rpms. So I could not test with compilers built by other people. I am doomed... Clean Workaround: Anyway, my workaround is to specify CC="gcc -specs=PATH_TO_GCC_SPECS" where PATH_TO_GCC_SPECS is the specs file from the gcc compiler I use to compile tree-ssa. This is to avoid modifying the generated specs file. I hope this would help any other strange person that is doomed like me. GCC was always easy for me to install. I only needed to follow the clear instructions on the gcc.gnu.org. I even managed to compile the fortran 95 front-end before it was merged to tree-ssa... -- Melvin Hadasht
