i386-elf-gcc fails to compile with XCode 4 installed

[egavrilov@…]

i386-elf-gcc won't compile after upgrading XCode to version 4 (GCC version 4.2.1 (i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1).

On the same Mac, i386-elf-gcc compiled correctly earlier (under XCode 3.2). But after I uninstalled i386-elf-gcc and upgraded XCode to version 4, compilation no longer succeeds.

port error message:

This was fixed in gcc upstream: ​GCC Bug 41180

I don't think this is fixed in GCC upstream.

I'm having the same problem when compiling a GCC outside of macports. If I make all, I'm failing with this "suffix" error message and if I only make all-gcc the compiler throws internal compiler errors as soon as it is invoked.

See my bugreport here: ​http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49656

[wcmiii@…]

This continues to be an issue on OS X Lion.

After I've made these changes, configure succeeds: ​https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/29104/patch-gcc46-xcode4.diff

Sorry, it still fails.

The bug has been open for 6 months, and do we know if this will be fixed?

I want to help, but I am not sure where to start. Maybe someone can give me some hints?

[konya.vic@…]

Just successfully compiled and installed i386-elf-gcc. port version: 2.0.3

My workaround:

1. use port select to change gcc to gcc42 (i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1)
2. fix the following line in Portfile:

configure.cc "gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I${prefix}/include"

It was using cc as the compiler, but cc in mac is a symlink to llvm-gcc, so it will not reflect the version of gcc. (probably affected by xcode4?)

[dongsheng@…]

Thanks, konya.vic@…

Works like a Charm!
