Libstdc++-4.8.2) miland lfs-book@… "I'm baffled by this one: the configure fails with the following error: checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES After checking the config.log, these lines seem to indicate where the problem is (please note that instead of /tools root I use /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools, but it's all consistent): configure:6982: i686-alx-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c conftstm.o >&5 /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib/gcc/i686-alx-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../i686-alx-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory ... and so forth for a number of libraries and objects. So, I first suspected that maybe the built-in search path for ld was wrong, and checked: mk7@mk7i-durovicm:/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/bin> /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib/gcc/i686-alx-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../i686-alx-linux-gnu/bin/ld --verbose|grep SEARCH SEARCH_DIR(""/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib""); Next, I checked if the files were really there. This is also OK: mk7@mk7i-durovicm:/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/bin> ls -l /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib/crt1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2800 2014-05-19 08:14 /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib/crt1.o Finally, I checked which ld program is invoked by the compiler by default: mk7@mk7i-durovicm:/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/bin> /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/bin/i686-alx-linux-gnu-gcc -print-prog-name=ld /usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/lib/gcc/i686-alx-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../i686-alx-linux-gnu/bin/ld ...and this seems to be OK, too. So, in a conclusion: - compiler uses the correct ld program. - ld program has the correct search path - the path contains all the files that ld complains are not there I ran out of ideas on what to check next. The output from ./configure line follows: ../gcc-4.8.2/libstdc++-v3/configure --host=i686-alx-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools --disable-multilib --disable-shared --disable-nls --disable-libstdcxx-threads --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/share/mk7i-toolchain/tools/i686-alx-linux-gnu/include/c++/4.8.2 configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
