This problem may be a gcc3.1 / gcc2.95 problem. This machine is a 2.95-based machine (gcc-2.95.3-r7). I added gcc-3.1-r8 for my own work, and the two compilers should be coexisting. From the config.log it seems that there's a i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++, but there is no i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ in /usr/bin (because my compilers coexist there's only an i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++-3.1). Here's the offending config.log: configure:4471: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ configure:4486: found /usr/bin/ccache/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ configure:4494: result: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ configure:4548: checking for C++ compiler version configure:4551: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ --version </dev/null >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4554: $? = 1 configure:4556: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -v </dev/null >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4559: $? = 1 configure:4561: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -V </dev/null >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4564: $? = 1 configure:4567: checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler configure:4588: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4591: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4573 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" int main () { #ifndef __GNUC__ choke me #endif ; return 0; } configure:4609: result: no configure:4615: checking whether i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ accepts -g configure:4633: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -g conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4636: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4621 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" int main () { ; return 0; } configure:4652: result: no configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit; int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> extern "C" void std::exit (int); using std::exit; int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> extern "C" void exit (int) throw (); int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> extern "C" void exit (int); int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; } configure:4692: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe conftest.cc >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++: No such file or directory configure:4695: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 4679 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <stdlib.h> void exit (int); int main () { exit (42); ; return 0; }
