Problems while compiling GCC.
Vishal Yadav
I am a final year student and as my final year project I've to deal with GCC source code. But while compiling the source code I'm getting the following error.
/usr/include/features.h:323:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [_muldi3.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/vishal/GCC/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc'
make[2]: *** [all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/vishal/GCC/build'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vishal/GCC/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
As far as I know I've taken all the necessary precautions while installing. I've installed all the necessary prerequisites like mpfr, mpc, gmp, cloog and libelf. Yet I getting the above mentioned error. I've tried it with gcc version 4.6.0, 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 but the same error persists.
I would be like to know if there are any errors in the installion process or it is som kind of a bug.
Yours faithfully,

/usr/include/features.h includes the file /usr/include/bits/predefs.h
However in your case this file is not present in the directory I
presume. Please check if that file is present. I have attached my file
in case it is not present please download the file attached along with
this email and place it in /usr/include/bits/
Thank You,

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, is there some problem there?

Had you installed all the dependencies required for gcc compilation? Was "./configure" step completed successfully?

Please check if you have installed libc6-dev-i386 package along with
libc6-dev package. You can check if the required packages are
installed by running a dpkg -l | grep libc6
Please let us know your system architecture as well.
Thank You,

I think you don't have dependencies installed for building GCC. You will
get almost all dependencies by issuing following command. This will
fetch dependencies required to build GCC for C and C++ AFAIK, but will
fail to build for Java and other languages.
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gcc-4.6
Again you might face problem as you are on Ubuntu 11.10 which uses
multiarch. To overcome this issue you will have to *specify the library
path.* So the commands will look like ( I assume you are on 64bit OS)
$ cd path/to/gcc-source
$ ./configure
Note: Only enable languages which you need. I think the option is
"--enable-languages=c,c++", do cross check here.
$ LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu make
This is time consuming step, you might want to consider 'ccache' if you
are going to be rebuilding often, and the "-j" option to 'make' to
specify number of cpu cores to use.
$ sudo make install # if you want to install it.
Do let us know if it solves the problem.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/libc6-dev/filelist
(i386 as error tuple was i696-pc-linux-gnu)
All the files mentioned by vishal
(bits/predefs.h,sys/cdefs.h,gnu/stubs.h etc) were there under
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/
instead of /usr/include
Some more searching revealed that Ubuntu 11.10 has a new concept
called multiarch.
Thus the exra triplet
This link below explains it roughly with some links and gives a patch too.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-08/msg01649.html
You can build gcc by pulling the patch from Ubuntu's or debian's source repos
(ubuntu's at launchpad, debian no idea)
I don't use Ubuntu so i can't test this.Try and let me know

Can you try to install build-essential?
# apt-get install build-essential
Most deb based systems use this to install all the dependency packages
required for development.

It would be easy for us to solve the issue if you can post the steps
executed and its output to some paste service such as pastebin.com
Still, looking at the error,
> /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such
file or directory
indicates that you either didn't have installed the libc6-dev (and
libc6-dev-i386) or didn't exported the library path as mentioned in my
previous post (which is required as Ubuntu is using multiarch)
As you mentioned your OS is 32bit, and assuming you installed the
libc6-dev, execute 'make' command as follows,
$ LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu make
And again, post the full steps you followed on some paste service if you
get error.
