i am doing kernel compilation by using kenel 3.4-rc4.
i have successfully installed ncurses5.9,gmp-5.0.4,mpc-0.9,mpfr 2.4.2....
i have configured my new kernel also,,,now for making bzimage i need gcc compiler.
so i tries gcc4.7.0 and gcc4.6.2....but every time i give make command after extracting gcc,,,i get error:::
usr/lib/gcc-4.7.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc:configure:error:cannot compute the suffix of object file:cannot compile.
i have changed the gcc version also,,tried atleast 5 times whole process..staring from recompiling of mpc,mpfr e.t.c....but still getting the same error..
