I've just tried sys-devel/gcc-4.3.1-r1 and I am getting the same error about "-Wno-overlength-strings". What's up with this? I am on a _fresh_ install of 2008.0 with a i686 stage3.
Today I've tried sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4 and guess what: cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-overlength-strings" make[2]: *** [cc1-checksum.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory
Remerging gcc-4.1.2 works, but compiling any version > 4.1.* does not work.

looks like it occurs only when doing a profile build ... the logic is a bit messy when it comes to "target" and "host" in the profile building guess this is just another reason to drop the profile stuff ...
can someone here with the build failure try doing: GCC_MAKE_TARGET=bootstrap-lean emerge gcc and see if that works around the issue ...
the issue should "go away" now http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/toolchain.eclass?r1=1.370&r2=1.371
Created attachment 178008 [details] /tmp/emerge.info Unfortunately I STILL have the same problem! :-(\nAttached you will find one file with: emerge --info and afterwards the output of the install step.

The 4.6GB compiled gcc code are still available if someone has an idea how I can get them installed. Thnx a lot for any help/hint in advance! \ntormen.

Apparently the 'fix' is the update to the eclass/toolchain.eclass file, which actually did not fix this issue for some people. I found this mailing list thread of someone with a similar problem, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2009-03/msg00250.html So what I tried was "ebuild /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-4.3.2-r3 compile", and then changed into the "/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2-r3/work/build" directory, from where I run manually the "make install" command (copied from the emerge output and edited for debugging): make -s DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2-r3/image/ install -d > make.log 2>&1 Since this is the "make install" stage, there shouldn't be any recompilation necessary, but in my log file, it shows that "Must remake target `cc1-checksum.o'", which caused the compile error mentioned in the opening. The interesting bit is that inside the work/build/gcc dir there is a "cc1-checksum.c" file, but no .o nor executable was created for it (but cc1plus-checksum.o does exist). So there must be a bug in the makefiles for my particular configuration which does not requires to create this file which is only caught at the make install stage...?

try building without fortran, then switch to the new compiler and build w/ fortran.
Still the same result.
reopening.
I hope it's not that something else is broken about my system, but I've found this: http://www.nabble.com/cc1:-error:-unrecognized-command-line-option-%22-Wno-overlength-strings%22-td22614852.html and it doesn't look like those guys have come to anything final so that's why I'm reporting it. Hope it helps and thank you.
No new information since 2009. I'm guessing this worked itself out with other system updates over time.
