I'm having a failure compiling libgcc2.c - fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory.

I got round that by copying the file from /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/gnu intp /usr/include/gnu.

Then the build goes on, but later I get get:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

Any suggestions?

Steve

Which distro?

Looks like you don't have 32bit headers installed on your machine.  If you can't obtain them, build with --disable-multilib.

OK, perhaps a pertinent question is what is the default build? I have 32 bit Ubuntu installed on a 64 bit two core machine.

The header in question is there and specifically under i396-gnu, so I have some 32 bit headers. Would it not complain about others?

For Ubuntu and Debian, being that i386 and x86_64 (possibly others) are multi-arch systems, you may need to set-up LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH.

In ~/.bashrc:

LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
CPATH=/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu
export LIBRARY_PATH CPATH


I have said this at least a dozen times, this must be documented somewhere... :)

That does the trick, but to avoid confusion, if you have already got into trouble it is best to remove objdir, close your terminal window, and start again from the point where objdir is created.

Thanks ever so
