Description eric sammer 2003-07-31 00:00:58 UTC

In the latest 1.4 stage 1 tarball for PPC, the profile for gcc-config is either
not set or incorrect. I'm not sure which of these cases are true because I reset
the profile to what it should be (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.2.1, IIRC) before
investigating further. I discovered the problem upon attempting to bootstrap.

The environment was set correctly - upon chroot'ing, I ran env-update and source
/etc/profile as per normal so it wasn't a path issue or anything similar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Untar stage 1 ppc as per install docs
2. Attempt to bootstrap
3. Fails with 'gcc missing / not found'

Actual Results:  
GCC not found in path.

Expected Results:  
Profile for gcc-config should be set to 'powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-<gcc version>'

this is a know bug, fixed on 1.4 final which should be on the mirrors today

A workaround is to set 
gcc-config powerpc-unknow-linux-gnu-3.2.X
where X is the version you want to use
possibilities are listed in /etc/env.d/gcc/
