This problem came up last year:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-04/threads.html#00423

(Please excuse my old muddled posts.) I think it's a bug in Sun's
/bin/sh - you get exactly the same behaviour on i686-pc-solaris2.7.

I thought someone put a workaround in place to use another shell (one of
the kshes?) instead of /bin/sh when building on Solaris2.7 - and it
certainly worked for a while - but I can't find any reference to that
now. Sorry.

The problem is that the step that executes the cache file causes the
shell to die. If you adding debug echoes before or after that step, it
executes OK (!). It's probably a very well hidden bug.

Rup.

Yep.  Must set CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh when configuring.

For some strange reason, this is still not the default when configuring
under Solaris.  It is, however, documented in the platform-specific
installation instructions.

Is it possible to have a cron script, or at least a template thereof, 
for example in gcc/contrib that we all could use when doing test suite
runs?

I have no idea, but the same problem when doing a normal "make
bootstrap" when configured with

--enable-threads=posix --enable-long-long
--prefix=/opt/Pkg/SunOS/gcc31_64
--enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java --disable-nls --enable-shared
sparc64-sun-solaris2.8

The strange thing is that this error occurs _only_, when I do that in
a nightly cron job, not when I start the same script manually,
although the cron job should have the same environment, as I start it
with

bash --login -c /home/schiele/gcccvs/autobuild.sieff

This script always uses the last successfully built 3.1 snapshot for
the bootstrap process, which is currently 20020422.

bootstrap problem on sparc-sun-solaris2.7: libtool configure failed

[Joe Buck]

"make boostrap-lean" bombs out at the end for me on Solaris 2.7, after
the compiler and most libraries have been successfully built.  The
failure seems to be conected with libtool and multilib support.

If I do "make install" after this I wind up with a usable compiler, so
presumably it's only the sparcv9 support that is failing to get built.

I am using the native assembler and linker; no configure options other
than  --prefix.

Here's the tail of the log.  Any ideas?
