If you have a stage3, there are ways to recover the compiler; the |
23 |
suggested approach is one. (You are really doing enough of a reinstall so |
24 |
that you can quickpkg gcc, and for that, all you need is to be able to |
25 |
point quickpkg into your unpacked stage3.) |
26 |
|
27 |
You should also be able to copy enough of gcc into your system to rebuild |
28 |
it (/usr/share/gcc*, /usr/lib/gcc*, the compiler itself, and |
29 |
/etc/env.d/05gcc), or perhaps bring in your stage3 version of |
30 |
/etc/env.d/05gcc, modify it to point into your unpacked stage3, env-update |
31 |
and go from there). |
32 |

Good luck, |
