After completing the book (6.4) is it possible to just compile the other languages rather then recompiling all of GCC?
I mean you only have C and C++ now that I am done the book can't I just untar the gcc tarball and only compile java or fortran without adding c or c++ since they are already installed?
What book? If you want to compile Fortran or Java with the GNU Compiler Collection, then just install the packages for those languages. Then if you want to use Java use 'gcj;' I do not know about Fortran yet.
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2023 Fedora38 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Rep:
@dchmelik : This is the "Linux From Scratch" forum,
it's always about a certain book ( 6.4 ).
@ ProtoformX ... I don't think, it's a good idea,
I guess, the internal files, created with c are
needed, so minimum --enable-languages=c,fortran.
Suggest : repeat "6.14. GCC-4.3.2" with that.
Many applications need genuine 'sun-java', so 'gcj'
is not always useful, just 'getting in the way'.
