Unable to build gcc branch for cilk

Question

I am trying to build the cilk branch from the branch downloaded form svn by this command: svn co http://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/cilkplus-4_7-branch/

The tutorial I am using to install is :this one

In step 5 line 9 I get this error:

ar: elem-function-common.o: No such file or directory

Though the error is pretty explanatory in itself but I was unable to find that creation of any such file 'elem-function-common.o' in the log of commands of make -j3 (step 5 line 9). Can somebody help me out with this.

Answer 1

try building out with other branch here and it compiles and installs easily. The other branch is untested so it is advised not to use it(as of the post of the date)
