Ah - building on 32 isn't a half bad idea, now that you mention it. I think I've since killed that gcj build, though =( I don't have the static libs that I need anymore. The .so libs are in the pdftk extension, but then I'd have to learn how to make those static ... [gulp].

I'm not sure I've been using glibc_apps - I'll try that one next. It's 11pm where I am though, so it will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks again for the assistance, all. I'll keep you posted.

[EDIT: ok, that was quick. I'm already using building with glibc_apps. I'll keep thinking. #$*! ]

I found the problem - in fact there were two...

The ppl-dev extension's *.la files were messed up, although I don't think this has anything to do with the problem (corrected version posted)

One of the header files (gcc/config/i386/linux64.h) in the gcc-4.7.2 source believes ld-linux* is in /lib64 instead of /lib - correcting this fixes the problem and gcc-java compiles without further issues, except that it installs the libs in /usr/local/lib64 even if you tell it not to. Not a big deal to move the dynamic libs, but the *.la files will need adjusting.

Hm, you didn't use the pure64 patches? Or symlink lib64 to lib?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

The specs file normally takes care of the linking and I'd rather avoid the symlink if possible - this is the first time I saw this kind of problem.

First chance I've had to check the forum - in short, awesome. Thanks so much for digging on it, Juanito. I'll re-try the build myself later today.

Since it's obscure, do you mind explaining how you tracked down the bug? I was at a loss since the conftest.c file is immediately removed by make. =/

I'd seen something similar when building the toolchain for tc-5.x, I though the gcc specs file took care of this, but apparently not for compiling gcc itself.

Just about to start a build attempt. I downloaded the new ppl-dev, but tce-load gives me an md5sum error. Probably just needs a new .md5.txt, yes? Repeated downloads give a consistent:

I'll take it as stable.

Success! For reference, build script attached (requires bash).

Thanks again, gentlemen - really very much appreciated.
