[OpenIndiana-discuss] Working gcc, etc.

[Rainer Heilke]

Hi.
Sorry for the long silence; I've had trouble getting hardware together 
to get going on my playing and documenting. (Canada Post's strike is 
_still_ holding me up; I think they did a "first in, last out".)
I'm trying to get a copy of gcc that is capable of building working 
executables. None of the ones I've tried so far have even been able to 
bootstrap a gcc compile. (Then I can build a recent version of the 
compiler suite.) Which version can actually get me started building? I 
just keep getting: "checking whether the C compiler works... no   ...  
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables "
This is on OpenIndiana. $uname -a says: SunOS omar 5.11 
illumos-fdb843bd83 i86pc i386 i86pc   (and yes, I've done a "pkg 
update").
Thanks,
Rainer
