Hi John,

are you using the tarball from:

http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/c/gcc-4.7.3+gm2-git-latest.tar.gz

It is certainly odd that it is looking for config.sub.  Here is the
output from:

$ ls scratch-area/gcc-4.7.3+gm2-git-latest/gm2/gcc-versionno/libgm2

ChangeLog    Makefile.in  autogen.sh   configure     libcor  liblog
libpim  p2c  Makefile.am  aclocal.m4   config.h.in   configure.ac
libiso  libmin  libulm

Here is my helper script to rebuild the various configure scripts,
it would be interesting to see if you could rebuild them under solaris.


#!/bin/bash

cd combined/gm2/gcc-versionno/libgm2
autoreconf2.64 || exit 1

cd ..
autogen Makefile.def || exit 1

cd gcc/gm2/gm2-libs
autoconf2.64 config-target.in > config-target || exit 1
autoconf2.64 config-host.in > config-host || exit 1

Gaius
