i386-elf-gcc @4.3.2 build failure - ld: duplicate symbol in libbackend.a and tree-inline.o

[slategrey@…]

Platform: Intel, OS X 10.6, Macports 1.8.0

Same error as #20816 in the regular gcc43 port. Presumably the fix is also approximately the same...?

[cshowalter@…]

I tried something similar to what is described in #20816. Specifically,

1. Edit /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_cross_i386-elf-gcc/work/gcc-4.3.2/gcc/cp/Make-lang.in to remove tree-inline.o from CXX_C_OBJS.

2. Continue compiling.

I got a different error:

I also applied the patch in cl57794 that closed #20816, which got me to the same point as you describe. The problem you are now having can be addressed by updating the Portfile as described in cl59653 (which closes #21194).

After applying both patches I got the following error:

--->  Activating i386-elf-gcc @4.3.2_0
Error: Unable to execute port: Image error:
/opt/local/lib/x86_64/libiberty.a is being used by the active i386-elf-binutils port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate i386-elf-gcc' to force the activation.

I decided to force the activation, without really knowing the consequences. That seemed to work.
