• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Bruno Lustosa 2005-03-25 17:28:14 UTC]

When I try to upgrade Mozilla to 1.7.6-r1 on my amd64 system, it prints the following error messages:

[Comment 1 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2005-03-26 16:11:57 UTC]

Does it build if you use gcc+binutils that are marked stable on amd64?

[Comment 2 Bruno Lustosa 2005-03-26 18:31:15 UTC]

I'm emerging stable versions of both gcc and binutils now to give it a try.
I'll post here after the downgrade.

[Comment 3 Bruno Lustosa 2005-03-27 07:03:47 UTC]

Aron, it compiled fine with stable versions of gcc and binutils.
I guess this is a compiler bug, and should be sent to the gcc team?

[Comment 4 Bruno Lustosa 2005-03-27 09:32:32 UTC]

Aron, after I downgraded from gcc-3.4.3.20050110-r1 to gcc-3.4.3-r1, all compiles became extremely slow. I also had a few problems with libstdc++, which I had to correct by editing some files on /etc and /etc/env.d.
By saying slow, I mean that when I run any configure script, it takes about 1 second for each test it makes. I'm running this on an Athlon64 3000+ with 1gig of ram, and I've never seen anything this slow.
I'm trying to reupgrade gcc and deal with the packages that don't compile separately, but having a few troubles when upgrading gcc and binutils (compiler can't create executables, and so on).
Do you know where I should look?

[Comment 5 Bruno Lustosa 2005-03-27 12:05:52 UTC]

Aron, solved the problem here. Had to mess with binutils binaries, as they weren't being found. Anyway, back to unstable gcc and binutils.
Is there a way to send gcc/binutils bug reports? I'd like to continue testing unstable versions, and be helpful the way I can.

[Comment 6 Bruno Lustosa 2005-05-24 11:52:39 UTC]

As this has no longer nothing to do with mozilla, I'm closing this bug and
marking as invalid.
