Building GCC 4.3.2 fails

Building GCC 4.3.2 fails

Hi,

I'm trying to build GCC 4.3.2 (core, c++, and fortran). The configuration 
step (configure --prefix=...) seems to complete without problems, but during 
the build step (make -j 2 bootstrap) I get the following on stderr:

configure: error:
*** LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't contain the current directory when
*** building gcc. Please change the environment variable
*** and run configure again.

LIBRARY_PATH contains the paths to GMP 4.2.1 and to MPFR2.3.0 only. I found 
out that clearing LIBRARY_PATH just before the build step takes me to 
another error:

/home/angel/software/gcc/source/unpacked/gcc/dbgcnt.def:67: error: 
'UINT_MAX' undeclared here (not in a function)

Can any one help me build this version of GCC? I'm configuring and building 
in a separate directory and I've attached the console output from the 
configuration step in case it might help.

Regards,
Angel Tsankov

UINT_MAX should be defined in limits.h.

Are you sure that it's installed?

Andrew.

Well, in fact glibc is not in the paths.  I tried installing glibc 2.7 but I 
get

configure: error: compiler support for visibility attribute is required

even after applying the patch described here:

You shouldn't be recompiling glibc.  Install it as a binary
package.

OK, I put /usr/include to CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH and to CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH 
but I still get the above error message. limits.h is in /usr/include and it 
does contain a definition for UINT_MAX. Any other ideas?
