Dear all, While trying to compile gcc-8.2.0 for a i686 machine using a x86_64 host machine I keep on stumbling at the next error: gcc -c -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-overlength-strings -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/mnt/lfs/sources-base/gcc-8.2.0/fixincludes -I../include -I/mnt/lfs/sources-base/gcc-8.2.0/fixincludes/../include /mnt/lfs/sources-base/gcc-8.2.0/fixincludes/fixopts.c gcc -o fixincl fixincl.o fixtests.o fixfixes.o server.o procopen.o fixlib.o fixopts.o ../libiberty/libiberty.a /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: ../libiberty/libiberty.a: error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I have set CC, AR, LD, AS etc to the previously generated binaries. Still I see that ld is being searched on the host instead of using the intermediate binaries. The search path directs the searches also first to the intermediate binaries. Because everything else goes well, I almost must assume that there is a problem with a Makefile. Maybe as a pointer: I try to follow the directives of the - albeit seriously outdated - CLFS project. But following other directives from elsewhere lead to the same issue. Has anybody stumbled across a similar issue with gcc-8.2.0.
