Problem in building gcc 4.5 : error in tools.zip

I tryied to build gcc 4.5.0 on Linux version 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5, and found the following problems that I couldn't find an answer on Google. I used the following command.

../gcc-4.3.5/configure --prefix=/usr --prefix=/apps --with-gmp=/apps --with-mpc=/apps --with-mpfr=/apps --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix make -j 8

Here is the part when it complained about the error

...

Any clarification and help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

You say you're building gcc 4.5.0 but your error messages and ./configure line suggest that you are instead building gcc 4.3.5. I point this out because it's possible you have tripped over a bug in gcc 4.3.x's build scripts.

Second, the error messages you quoted make me think that you are doing your build on a weird file system, or else you have a buggy cp (unlikely but not impossible). What sort of file system is /home? You can find out with the mount command -- type it with no arguments, look for the /home line, see what it says next to "type". I have this:

/dev/sda3 on /home type ext4 (rw)

ext2, ext3, ext4, btrfs, xfs, and jfs should not be troublesome; anything else might well be for this use.

By the way, the precise version of your kernel ("Linux version 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5") is very unlikely to be relevant; for this sort of problem it would be much more useful to know which distribution you are using, and the version of that.

I had a similar problem building a different package (LAMMPS). The Makfile included a -p flag in a cp statement. I removed it and the error disappeared. It may be worth a try...
