Bug 257120 – cross-i686-mingw32msvc/gcc-4.3.3 fails to build additional frontends

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description emerald 2009-01-31 18:43:47 UTC]

cross-i686-mingw32msvc/gcc-4.3.3 manages to build (and install) with USE="-fortran nocxx" (only the c frontend) but fails either the c++ and fortran frontends. The error happens somewhere in the libgfortran and libstdc++ builds.
(only tried build on amd64, other arches not tried)

error:
checking for ld that supports -Wl,--gc-sections... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

I've just found gcc-4.2.4-r1 fails with the same error when trying to merge.

builds fine for me.  try using the target "mingw32".

[Comment 6 emerald 2009-02-02 11:22:14 UTC]

Ok, using mingw32 target it builds :)
Interestingly up till ~gcc-4.3.2  (a few weeks ago) it built with mingw32msvc target too.

Thank you, closing bug.

i'm not suggesting "i686-mingw32msvc" shouldnt work, just that i only ever test "mingw32" ...

[Comment 8 emerald 2009-02-03 07:47:16 UTC]

When i got more time at my hands i'll gonna try the mingw32msvc target again, for now i'm glad it builds again, even another target.
