Gentlefolk,
For the past couple years or more I've been building a program, brltty,
from
its subversion development stream. The only problems I had were in that
stream and they were fixed quite rapidly by the developer, in large
measure
because of my reports.
The last time I was able to build it successfully was on October 11.
Since
then I've been getting the error detailed in the attachments. I'm almost
positive the problem is an update to gcc or one of its henchmen because
I've
downdated brltty from 5400, which no longer successfully builds, all the
way
back to 5300 with no success.
I hope it's not providing too much information, but I've attached (yes,
really :-) not only cygcheck -svr but also the typescript of the make
session and config.log. Note that I'm using gcc3 because 4 has never
worked.
(That's a known problem however and we hope will be fixed in the next gcc
update.)
The typescript shows the following error:
ocamlmklib -L./../../Programs -lbrlapi -oc brlapi_stubs brlapi_stubs.o
** Fatal error: Cannot find file "libgcc_s"
libgcc_s ships with gcc4 only, so it looks like ocaml depends on gcc4
now, probably since its recent update.
You may not need the OCaml bindings being built there though. I see
you can disable them with the --disable-caml-bindings configure
option.

Hmm. Is that really the best approach unless absolutely necessary? "That
doesn't work so do something else" has always struck me as a less than ideal
approach to debugging. :-) Is it possible that caml could be repaired so it
doesn't depend on GCC4?
Thanks,
