Description of problem: Trying to update gcc 4.4.7 to gcc 4.6.2. During the build of gcc, this error occurs: > rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/gcc.spec /home/u0013225/rpmbuild/BUILD/gcc-4.6.2-20111027/obj-ppc64-redhat-linux/gcc64 -g -fkeep-inline-functions -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-format-attribute -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -Wold-style-definition -Wc++-compat -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o cc1 c-lang.o c-family/stub-objc.o attribs.o c-errors.o c-decl.o c-typeck.o c-convert.o c-aux-info.o c-objc-common.o c-parser.o tree-mudflap.o c-family/c-common.o c-family/c-cppbuiltin.o c-family/c-dump.o c-family/c-format.o c-family/c-gimplify.o c-family/c-lex.o c-family/c-omp.o c-family/c-opts.o c-family/c-pch.o c-family/c-ppoutput.o c-family/c-pragma.o c-family/c-pretty-print.o c-family/c-semantics.o c-family/c-ada-spec.o rs6000-c.o \ cc1-checksum.o main.o libbackend.a ../libcpp/libcpp.a ../libdecnumber/libdecnumber.a ../libcpp/libcpp.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a ../libdecnumber/libdecnumber.a -lmpc -lmpfr -lgmp -ldl -rdynamic -ldl -lz stubs don't match calculated size /usr/bin/ld: can not build stubs: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status There is an existing bug report Bug 728201 for Fedora 16 where this problem has been reported fixed in RPM binutils-2.21.53.0.1-2.fc16.src.rpm - that RPM was installed and built successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc 4.4.7 being used to build gcc 4.6.2. How reproducible: Unknown. I'm using a Power7 VM from IBM via their VLP. Steps to Reproduce: A basic summary: 1. wget -c http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/source/SRPMS/binutils-2.21.53.0.1-2.fc16.src.rpm 2. wget -c http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/source/SRPMS/gcc-4.6.2-1.fc16.src.rpm 3. rpm -Uvh binutils-2.21.53.0.1-2.fc16.src.rpm 4. rpm -Uvh gcc-4.6.2-1.fc16.src.rpm 5. QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001|0x0010 ] rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/binutils.spec 6. rpm -Uvh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/ppc64/binutils-* 7. rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/gcc.spec [At step 5, other RPMs may need to be installed, e.g. elfutils-devel elfutils-libelf-devel graphviz libmpc-devel gtk2-devel glib2-devel libart_lgpl-devel libXtst-devel libXt-devel mock createrepo pigz python-decoratortools ...] Actual results: Unsuccessful compilation. stubs don't match calculated size /usr/bin/ld: can not build stubs: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Expected results: Successful compilation. Additional info:
If I'm reading this correctly, you ran into this error using binutils-2.21.53.0.1-2 which you fetched from Fedora 16's source repository, correct? If so, you should upgrade to a newer binutils. 2.21.53.0.1-6 was fixed in late 2011 and includes a fix for this problem. The fix for this problem also appeared in an errata for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 which shipped in June 2012.
