bash-5.2.32 fails "make install" on RHEL 9

[Dennis Clarke]

This seemed to happen over and over and only during "make install".

So I went for a simple config just to get something.

Config was trivial :

$ ../bash-5.2.32/configure --prefix=/opt/bw \
--enable-minimal-config --enable-history --enable-job-control \
--enable-multibyte --enable-readline \
--enable-strict-posix-default --enable-threads=posix

which seems fine.

My env vars were trivial :

CC=/usr/bin/gcc

CFLAGS=-m64 -g -O0 -fno-builtin -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -mieee-fp 
-mhard-float -fno-fast-math -mno-fancy-math-387 -malign-double 
-m128bit-long-double -mstackrealign -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8

CPPFLAGS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

HOME=/home/dclarke
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=C
PAGER=/usr/bin/more
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

really nothing too interesting.

However after the compile I get this for "make install" :

/usr/bin/gcc -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL  -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -m64 
-g -O0 -fno-builtin -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -mieee-fp -mhard-float 
-fno-fast-math -mno-fancy-math-387 -malign-double -m128bit-long-double 
-mstackrealign -mpreferred-stack-boundary=8  -I. -I..

Not very helpful.

This is off the shelf bone stock RHEL9 with the default compiler and 
linker and nothing remotely interesting.
