Hi Johann,
conftest.s: Assembler messages:
conftest.s: Error: can't open for reading: No such file or directory
It works if
- remove the "&& ld..." part of ac_try
- the content of ac_try is executed directly (without eval)
Any ideas?
This appears to be a weird shell scripting problem. The error message
is happening because gas is being passed a command line that includes a
single space as an argument. I added this patch to as.c:
diff --git a/gas/as.c b/gas/as.c
index 83a572b..80a8a01 100644
--- a/gas/as.c
+++ b/gas/as.c

}
and the output shows:
ARG 2 ARGV 0x122b8c8 *ARGV conftest.s 99
ARG 1 ARGV 0x122b8d0 *ARGV 32
So this is not an assembler problem. Poor old gas is being asked to assemble a
non-existent file.
Cheers
