Description Jacek Sieka 2004-10-21 07:04:50 UTC

For reasons unnoted, I had my GCC_SPECS set to the empty string, which leads to the cryptic error "gcc: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/: Is a directory". Perhaps, in the specs patch, a check for the 0-length string would be in order?



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
