"ld returned 1 exit status" error while building LATEST-4.7

"ld returned 1 exit status" error while building LATEST-4.7

[Nathan Ridge]

I am trying to build the current LATEST-4.7 snapshot (20111105),
and I am getting the following error:

gcc   -g -fkeep-inline-functions -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall -Wno-narrowing -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-format-attribute -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -Wold-style-definition -Wc++-compat -fno-common  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o lto1 \

make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2
nr@dali:~/Programs/gcc/build$ cd ..
nr@dali:~/Programs/gcc$ ls

Since there is no error message, I don't even know how to investigate
the issue further...

I am configuring with:

../src/configure --program-suffix=-4.7 --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/home/nr/Programs/gcc/dest-20111105/

and building with:

make bootstrap-lean

I have successfully built older snapshots (from October, IIRC) on the same machine
with the same commands.

Any idea about what might be going on?

Thanks,
Nate

Sorry, turns out I had simply run out of disk space...

In my defense, make bootstrap-lean now requires > 1.2 GB
of disk space... it used to only require about half that
much in 4.5. Does anyone know the reason for this large 
increase?

Thanks,
Nate

Bootstrapping mainline now builds libstdc++ in stages 1 and 2, which did
not happen before.
