i think we've figured out that this is a bootstrap bug. install perl and try again. if problems persist, let us know. :)

errrrr..... that is, install gcc 3.3.3-r3 so that you can compile C++ code and compile perl

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-04-26 15:54:33 UTC]

You removed all the code for the pre-created manpages - go figures it will
blow up.  Can you maybe use 3.3.3-r3 and try to keep the build fairly
intact with gcc-3.4.0-manpages.tar.bz2 included?

[Comment 4 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-04-27 11:08:17 UTC]

re-added manpages.

[Comment 5 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-04-28 10:15:53 UTC]

this should be fixed now. feel free to re-open this bug if you continue to have problems.

[Comment 6 Stephen Bennett (RETIRED) 2004-05-14 14:03:46 UTC]

Still happening on x86 with 3.4.0-r2 (in bootstrap).

Bootstrap can be made to succeed by adding to the beginning of src_install:

use bootstrap && touch ${WORKDIR}/build/gcc/doc/gcc.1

The manpages are present in $WORKDIR/gcc/doc/, but not in $WORKDIR/build/gcc/doc, which is where src_install is looking for them.
