Bison error on snap-shot again.

Bison error on snap-shot again.

[Randy Joiner]

Unless I miss my guess, the 1026 snapshot (full ss) is calling for bison.
This is the same problem I was catching in 1019, but I've cleaned that ss
out of the systems.  Anyone know what's up?

I've modified the snapshot script to touch parse-scan.c so that it always
appears up to date in snapshots (it's a generated file).  I've also updated
the egcs_update script in the contrib directory.

Hum.. I've just tried a new method to build egcs: start from the whole cvs
archive, use lndir to create a copy, then rm what you don't use...

as expected, the make process started to use lots of gnu-tools... which 
I happen to have.

Surprisingly though, some of my tools seem to be badly out of date. Even
gperf-2.7 does not recognize the necessary options to rebuild egcs... and
I've got a similar problem with bison in gcc/java later on.
Maybe I've missed something, but I expected to get the latest gperf from
my fav. gnu mirror.

I think it might be a good idea to provide a shopping list of the utility
versions needed to recreate egcs. If anything, if we use the cvs read-only
access, it is because we want to tinker with the source. By any chance,
if some of these tools are still in development, and egcs relies on features
that still are not supported by a generally available version, this is a
problem... how can we work in an `open' environment which turns out not
to be so open after all ?

And yes, I've read the FAQ, which says that you're supposed to touch the
generated files. But then, if you need to tinker with the source files,
how are you going to regenerate them ?

I'm experimenting the same problem under Solaris2.[56].

Good question.

I saw that too this evening.  Gperf is being called with a -F option that
gperf-2.7 doesn't accept.

Look in the contrib directory for the patch.

This has been discussed more than once on this list.

May I suggest that http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html be updated ?
Right now, it is highly misleading with respect to that matter, e.g.,
add to #generated_files the following paragraph:

<p>
If you modified some sources and really need to modify some of these files,
you may need to obtain some development versions of some gnu tools, as the
production versions don't necessarily handle all features needed to rebuild
egcs. Have a look at

Thanks. I have installed an update based on your suggestion.
