Re: GCC snapshot problem

[George.R.Goffe]

Howdy,

I keep running into this problem. Does anyone know how to "fix" this? I can
get around the problem by disabling multilib but that's like going to the
Dr and saying "my arm hurts when I do this" and having the Dr say, "well,
don't do this".

Here's what I'm running:

The fix depends on the cause, and the cause is uncertain from your
message.  So you'll have to investigate a little...

This is probably not relevant, since the newly-built compiler is used to
create target libs.  That would be this one:

Run the above compiler with -print-prog-name=as to get the
assembler...

...which may or may not be this one.

Likewise for ld.

Look in config.log for detailed error messages.
