The following error results in attempting to upgrade gcc43:

You'll find that when doing a parallel build, the relevant error is usually the one that precedes the message "Waiting for unfinished jobs....", which might be quite far from the end of the log. In this case:

I see the same on Leopard ppc, but not on Tiger ppc or Snow Leopard x86_64.

[ryandesign@…]

Duplicate #34362 says it also happens on Tiger.

Cc Me!

[jeremyhu@…]

Do gcc44, gcc45, gcc46, gcc47, or gcc48 work for you? If so, I'm inclined to close this as wontfix/dontcare/upstream/fixed-in-newer/...

[jeremyhu@…]

#21401 may be related...

[jeremyhu@…]

Yep, that was it.

[Peter_Dyballa@…]

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

Yep, that was it.

Build succeeded!

[trog24@…]

Build succeeded here as well. Thank you.
