[haiku-development] Re: Can't build Haiku in BeOS R5 PE again...

Why did it work fine before now? It's been weeks since Michael's cross-compiler came out and I've been building Haiku fine til now, *without* the old GCC that you get from BeBits. What changed? Why?
It probably works before because you do not need to recompile addattr before. A header change could force a recompile...
The "old gcc" (from http://www.bebits.com/app/4011) is not as old as you think as it is less than one year old :-) (from last july). The one currently installed on your computer is from the previous MILLENIUM : THAT one is very, very old /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/lib/gcc-lib/i586-beos/2.9-beos-991026 ! (see your capture in a previous message)
if you read carefully the INSTALL file in the gcc package, there is nothing that could be wrong, except if you forget step 2 : renaming your current gnupro directory in /boot/develop/tools/. If not, you could mix files from different versions (this is the only thing i can imagine that could explain you previous bad experience).
Updating gcc is not more difficult than installing the cross compiler. And you have already done this. 

Here is a copy of the instructions (from INSTALL...) :

BeOS R5 (with or without BONE):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The compiler, linker and tools:
1. extract gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17.zip to /boot/develop/tools
2. if the folder /boot/develop/tools/gnupro exists, rename it
3. create the link:
  /boot/develop/tools/gnupro
  -> /boot/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to switch between different compilers later, you just need to
adjust the link:
  /boot/develop/tools/gnupro -> /boot/develop/tools/...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The new libstdc++ (optional but recommended):
1. rename /boot/develop/headers/cpp
2. execute this in Terminal (creates a link without dereferencing):
   ln -snf /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/include/g++ /boot/develop/headers/cpp
3. rename /boot/beos/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so (e.g. libstdc++.r4.so.R5)
4. copy /boot/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17/lib/libstdc++.r4.so
  to /boot/beos/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so
