Subject: My attempt to build gcc-3.0 failed  :-(

Could you direct me on how to fix the problem I encountered, bearing in mind
that I have not built a compiler before, and am entirely new to cygwin (I am
using NT4, sp6, if that matters).  I also have emacs installed, and had it
well before I installed cygwin, and was hoping to figure out how to
integrate use of the gcc compilers and gnumake into emacs.  But it will take
a little while to refresh my memory regarding what I used to do on unix.
:-(

I installed most of your distribution, possibly more than I needed, after
some trepidation.  Your remarks about NAI virus software not liking
something about your install procedure made me overly cautious.  But I
decided to take a chance and downloaded setup from one of your mirrors and
ran it, directing it first to just download what I wanted, and then I ran it
again to do the installation from a local directory, and that appeared to
complete without a problem.

However, I wanted to test gcc-3.0, and you only had gcc-2.95.3 (if I recall
correctly), and I remembered seeing something on the gcc3.0 site indicating
it should build without a problem using cygwin, so I retrieved the source
and tried it.  But my attempt failed.  Since it does not seem to make a log
of the progress made or where and why it failed, I have no idea how far it
got into the build process.  And as I have never heard of "libtool", I have
no idea what it is supposed to do and no idea what the error message is
supposed to mean, let alone how to fix it.

I am showing you first the results of mount, so you know where I put
everything relevant to this effort, and where I want the results put.  The
Source and Objects directories I am using for gcc3.0 are located in D:\Gcc.
I prefer to keep applications I am building as separate as possible from the
directory tree containing the applications I am using, so minimize the
chance that something will happen during the building and testing of the
application that might break one of the tools I need.

$ mount
D:\Gnu\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
D:\Gnu\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
D:\Gnu on / type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type user (binmode,noumount)


Here is the command I used for the comfigure script:

$ sh
../Source/gcc-3.0/configure --prefix=d/Gcc --with-local-prefix=d/Gcc --enabl
e-threads=win32 --
disable-win32-registry


And here is the command I used to start the build:
$ make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2'
LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean


And here is the mess I found on my screen at the time the build failed (with
the errors generated at the end).

Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
