compile gcc 4.7.2 Ubuntu 12.04 fails with GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES

compile gcc 4.7.2 Ubuntu 12.04 fails with GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES

Hello,

the compilation of gcc 4.7.2 fails on a fully patched ubuntu 12.04 with the error message 
"checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libssp] Fehler 1"

The configure call is: ../gcc-4.7.2_Source/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc_4_7_2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-threads=posix --enable-tls --enable-libgomp --disable-nls  --disable-checking --disable-multilib  --disable-shared  --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-bootstrap

The config.log is attached.

How can I build the gcc 4.7.2 on this system?



[-- Attachment #2: config.log --]

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64.  Invocation command line was

  $ ../gcc-4.7.2_Source/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc_4_7_2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-threads=posix --enable-tls --enable-libgomp --disable-nls --disable-checking --disable-multilib --disable-shared --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-bootstrap ls

Didn't look being the right one 'config.log' from the $target/libssp 
directory...  What motive
sending the config.log from the $build directory has when the problem 
was elsewhere?

As Kai says, you need to look at the config.log file in the directory
where the build failed, and instead of just sending it to the list you
can look in there for the failure and see what caused the error.
There are always lots of non-fatal errors in config.log, you're
looking for the last one which causes the fatal error:
"checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link
tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: ***
[configure-target-libssp] Fehler 1"

OK, in :

http://solarianprogrammer.com/2012/04/13/building-gcc-4-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/

there were instructions to set in environment (in your case) :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc_4_7_2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu

before 'configure' and 'make' and make a symlink :

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib64

before 'make install'

With the export and the symbolic link it compiles without problems.
Thanks
