SOLVED - Trying to install gcc34...

I am running x86-64.  I am trying to build gcc34 from the AUR and I keep getting an error while building:

Any ideas?

I would see config.log for more details.

right... I did... it wasn't too helpful... at least I don't see anything useful...

Well, the proper config.log to check would be the one in the directory with the configure script that failed, i.e. gcc-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/config.log.  Anyway, I ran the build myself, found in config.log that the error is "conftest.c:1: error: bad value (native) for -march= switch".  Thus I expect that temporarily removing the -march and -mtune options from CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf will help.

Re: SOLVED - Trying to install gcc34...

Correct.   gcc-3.4 did not supoort -march=native so when you go to bootstrap gcc3.4 with itself your build is failing.   But you are better off unsetting them in the PKGBUILD maybe...

Re: SOLVED - Trying to install gcc34...

That worked... Thanks!  I just commented the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf for this build as tavianator mentioned and it compiled.

Entirely commenting out the C(XX)FLAGS in makepkg.conf will disable optimization too, which will probably make your build of gcc 3.4 pretty slow.  I'd at least keep -O2 in it.  And Allan's right, the proper way to handle this would be to override C(XX)FLAGS in the PKGBUILD.  I think just appending CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2" to the ./configure line should work.
