124 | |
125 <p>This section contains general configuration information for all | |
126 alpha-based platforms using ELF (in particular, ignore this section for | |
127 DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX and Tru64 UNIX). In addition to reading this | |
128 section, please read all other sections that match your target. | |
129 | |
130 <p>We require binutils 2.11.2 or newer. | |
131 Previous binutils releases had a number of problems with DWARF 2 | |
132 debugging information, not the least of which is incorrect linking of | |
133 shared libraries. | |
134 | |
135 <p><hr /> | |
136 | |
137 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC1"></a><a name="alpha_002ddec_002dosf"></a>alpha*-dec-osf*</h3> | |
138 | |
139 <p>Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and | |
140 are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq | |
141 Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems. | |
142 | |
143 <p>As of GCC 3.2, versions before <code>alpha*-dec-osf4</code> are no longer | |
144 supported. (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC | |
145 OSF/1.) | |
146 | |
147 <p>In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures | |
148 may be fixed by configuring with <samp><span class="option">--with-gc=simple</span></samp>, | |
149 reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters | |
150 per the <samp><span class="command">/usr/sbin/sys_check</span></samp> Tuning Suggestions, | |
151 or applying the patch in | |
152 <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html</a>. | |
153 | |
154 <p>In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not | |
155 currently (2001-06-13) work with <samp><span class="command">mips-tfile</span></samp>. As a workaround, | |
156 we need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented | |
157 <samp><span class="option">-oldas</span></samp> option. To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the | |
158 Compaq C Compiler: | |
159 | |
160 <pre class="smallexample"> % CC=cc <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>] | |
161 </pre> | |
162 <p>or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX V4.0: | |
163 | |
164 <pre class="smallexample"> % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>] | |
165 </pre> | |
166 <p>As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> nor GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> | |
167 are supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with | |
168 <samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-ld</span></samp>. | |
169 | |
170 <p>GCC writes a ‘<samp><span class="samp">.verstamp</span></samp>’ directive to the assembler output file | |
171 unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from | |
172 the system header file <samp><span class="file">/usr/include/stamp.h</span></samp>. If you install a | |
173 new version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version | |
174 stamp. | |
175 | |
176 <p>‘<samp><span class="samp">make compare</span></samp>’ may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add | |
177 <samp><span class="option">-save-temps</span></samp> to <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code>. On these systems, the name | |
178 of the assembler input file is stored in the object file, and that makes | |
179 comparison fail if it differs between the <code>stage1</code> and | |
180 <code>stage2</code> compilations. The option <samp><span class="option">-save-temps</span></samp> forces a | |
181 fixed name to be used for the assembler input file, instead of a | |
182 randomly chosen name in <samp><span class="file">/tmp</span></samp>. Do not add <samp><span class="option">-save-temps</span></samp> | |
183 unless the comparisons fail without that option. If you add | |
184 <samp><span class="option">-save-temps</span></samp>, you will have to manually delete the ‘<samp><span class="samp">.i</span></samp>’ and | |
185 ‘<samp><span class="samp">.s</span></samp>’ files after each series of compilations. | |
186 | |
187 <p>GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX | |
188 and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB. See the | |
189 discussion of the <samp><span class="option">--with-stabs</span></samp> option of <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> above | |
190 for more information on these formats and how to select them. | |
191 | |
192 <p>There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers | |
193 for ECOFF format when the ‘<samp><span class="samp">.align</span></samp>’ directive is used. To work | |
194 around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives | |
195 while writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is | |
196 being performed. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable | |
197 side-effect that code addresses when <samp><span class="option">-O</span></samp> is specified are | |
198 different depending on whether or not <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp> is also specified. | |
199 | |
200 <p>To avoid this behavior, specify <samp><span class="option">-gstabs+</span></samp> and use GDB instead of | |
201 DBX. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to | |
202 provide a fix shortly. | |

330 <p>The version of binutils installed in <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp> probably works with | |
331 this release of GCC. However, on FreeBSD 4, bootstrapping against the | |
332 latest FSF binutils is known to improve overall testsuite results; and, | |
333 on FreeBSD/alpha, using binutils 2.14 or later is required to build libjava. | |
334 | |
335 <p>Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. | |
336 | |
337 <p>Support for FreeBSD 2 will be discontinued after GCC 3.4. The | |
338 following was true for GCC 3.1 but the current status is unknown. | |
339 For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All | |
340 configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in | |
341 place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
342 it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
343 was the system copy in <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp>) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
344 | |
345 <p>For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
346 default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
347 FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use <samp><span class="option">-gstabs</span></samp> instead | |
348 of <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp>, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
349 no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
350 debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
351 of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
352 particular, <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads</span></samp> is now configured by default. | |
353 However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
354 compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
355 results on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5-CURRENT. In the past, known to | |
356 bootstrap and check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, | |
357 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8-STABLE. | |
358 | |
359 <p>In principle, <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads</span></samp> is now compatible with | |
360 <samp><span class="option">--enable-libgcj</span></samp> on FreeBSD. However, it has only been built | |
361 and tested on ‘<samp><span class="samp">i386-*-freebsd[45]</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">alpha-*-freebsd[45]</span></samp>’. | |
362 The static | |
363 library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). | |
364 There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
365 assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for | |
366 libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before | |
367 4.5-RELEASE. Other CPU architectures | |
368 supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at | |
369 the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |
370 | |
371 <p>Shared <samp><span class="file">libgcc_s.so</span></samp> is now built and installed by default. | |

390 <p>Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. | |
391 | |
392 <p>We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or | |
393 later is recommended. | |
394 | |
395 <p>It may be helpful to configure GCC with the | |
396 <a href="./configure.html#with-gnu-as"><samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp></a> and | |
397 <samp><span class="option">--with-as=...</span></samp> options to ensure that GCC can find GAS. | |
398 | |
399 <p>The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and may | |
400 not work. It shouldn't be used with any languages other than C due to its | |
401 many limitations. | |
402 | |
403 <p>Specifically, <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp> does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging | |
404 format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps | |
405 into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to | |
406 fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying | |
407 ‘<samp><span class="samp">make all-host all-target</span></samp>’ after getting the failure from ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’. | |
408 | |
409 <p>Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak | |
410 symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
411 are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to | |
412 build many C++ applications. | |
413 | |
414 <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are | |
415 PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc | |
416 architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. | |
417 PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when | |
418 the target is a ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa1*</span></samp>’ machine. | |
419 | |
420 <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, | |
421 it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when | |
422 configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro | |
423 TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different | |
424 default scheduling model is desired. | |
425 | |
426 <p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 | |
427 through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. | |
428 This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with | |
429 an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same | |
430 namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided | |
431 in a number of ways. With HP cc, <samp><span class="env">UNIX_STD</span></samp> can be set to ‘<samp><span class="samp">95</span></samp>’ | |
432 or ‘<samp><span class="samp">98</span></samp>’. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines | |
433 to <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp>. The description for the <samp><span class="option">munix=</span></samp> option contains | |
434 a list of the predefines used with each standard. | |

451 <p>The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0. COMDAT subspaces are | |
452 used for one-only code and data. This resolves many of the previous | |
453 problems in using C++ on this target. However, the ABI is not compatible | |
454 with the one implemented under HP-UX 11 using secondary definitions. | |

460 <p>GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot | |
461 be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up. | |
462 | |
463 <p>The libffi and libjava libraries haven't been ported to 64-bit HP-UX and don't build. | |
464 | |
465 <p>Refer to <a href="binaries.html">binaries</a> for information about obtaining | |
466 precompiled GCC binaries for HP-UX. Precompiled binaries must be obtained | |
467 to build the Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C. Ada is | |
468 only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime. | |
469 | |
470 <p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The | |
471 bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP's | |
472 unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC. | |
473 | |
474 <p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler, | |
475 but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to | |
476 build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code and | |
477 can't be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be | |
478 avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the | |
479 <samp><span class="option">--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"</span></samp> option in your configure | |
480 command. | |
481 | |
482 <p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. | |
483 Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
484 distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
485 first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. | |
486 There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it | |
487 is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |
488 | |
489 <p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different | |
490 installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on | |
491 the same system. The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates code | |
492 for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. | |
493 The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates 64-bit code for the | |
494 PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. | |
495 | |
496 <p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler | |
497 detected during configuration. You must define <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp> or <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> so | |
498 that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap. | |
499 When <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used, the definition should contain the options that are | |
500 needed whenever <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used. | |
501 | |
502 <p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be | |
503 in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> to correctly select the target for the build. It is also | |
504 convenient to place many other compiler options in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp>. For example, | |
505 <samp><span class="env">CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"</span></samp> | |
506 can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in | |
507 64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The <samp><span class="option">+DA2.0W</span></samp> option will result in | |
508 the automatic selection of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target. The | |
509 macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful | |
510 build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to | |
511 be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the | |
512 <samp><span class="option">-Ac</span></samp> option. These defines aren't necessary with <samp><span class="option">-Ae</span></samp>. | |
513 | |
514 <p>It is best to explicitly configure the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target | |
515 with the <samp><span class="option">--with-ld=...</span></samp> option. This overrides the standard | |
516 search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different | |
517 commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a | |
518 result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build. | |
519 This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils | |
520 and GCC. | |
521 | |
522 <p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of | |
523 GCC 3.3 and later. <code>PHSS_26559</code> and <code>PHSS_24304</code> are the | |
524 oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX | |
525 11.00 and 11.11, respectively. <code>PHSS_24303</code>, the companion to | |
526 <code>PHSS_24304</code>, might be usable but it hasn't been tested. These | |
527 patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain | |
528 the currently recommended linker patch for your system. | |
529 | |
530 <p>The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the | |
531 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak | |
532 symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior | |
533 to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. | |
534 The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared | |
535 libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other | |
536 linking issues involving secondary symbols. | |
537 | |
538 <p>GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to | |
539 run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port | |
540 uses the linker <samp><span class="option">+init</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">+fini</span></samp> options for the same | |
541 purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini | |
542 options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a | |
543 problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of | |
544 the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers. | |
545 | |
546 <p>Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the | |
547 ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target, it is strongly recommended that the | |
548 HP linker be used for link editing on this target. | |
549 | |
550 <p>At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long | |
551 branch stubs. As a result, it can't successfully link binaries | |
552 containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, | |
553 there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables | |
554 with <samp><span class="option">-static</span></samp>, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. | |
555 It also doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions | |
556 in shared libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded. | |
557 | |
558 <p>The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol | |
559 versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol | |
560 versioning with <samp><span class="option">--disable-symvers</span></samp> when using GNU ld. | |
561 | |
562 <p>POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not | |
563 supported, so <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads=dce</span></samp> does not work. | |

635 <p>Support for AIX version 3 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. | |

637 <p>“out of memory” bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with | |
638 process resource limits (ulimit). Hard limits are configured in the | |
639 <samp><span class="file">/etc/security/limits</span></samp> system configuration file. | |
640 | |
641 <p>To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing GCC, | |
642 one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp>, e.g., | |
643 | |
644 <pre class="smallexample"> % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash | |
645 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
646 </pre> | |
647 <p>and then proceed as described in <a href="build.html">the build instructions</a>, where we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path | |
648 to invoke <var>srcdir</var>/configure. | |
649 | |
650 <p>Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default, | |
651 (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries | |
652 required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR | |
653 as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries. | |
654 | |
655 <p>Errors involving <code>alloca</code> when building GCC generally are due | |
656 to an incorrect definition of <code>CC</code> in the Makefile or mixing files | |
657 compiled with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of | |
658 the build, the native AIX compiler <strong>must</strong> be invoked as <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> | |
659 (not <samp><span class="command">xlc</span></samp>). Once <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> has been informed of | |
660 <samp><span class="command">xlc</span></samp>, one needs to use ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to remove the | |
661 configure cache files and ensure that <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> environment variable | |
662 does not provide a definition that will confuse <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>. | |
663 If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely | |
664 is the version of Make (see above). | |
665 | |
666 <p>The native <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> are recommended for bootstrapping | |
667 on AIX 4 and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L. The GNU Assembler | |
668 reports that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to | |
669 utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported. The GNU | |
670 Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC. | |
671 The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC. | |
672 | |
673 <p>Building <samp><span class="file">libstdc++.a</span></samp> requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug | |
674 APAR IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). It also requires a | |
675 fix for another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix | |
676 referenced as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or a APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1) | |
677 | |
678 <p>‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the | |

680 shared library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC | |

683 versions of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ shared object needs to be available | |

702 <p>Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of | |
703 duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always | |
704 have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable | |
705 and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should | |
706 not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable | |
707 executable. | |
708 | |
709 <p>AIX 4.3 utilizes a “large format” archive to support both 32-bit and | |
710 64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1 | |
711 to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly. | |
712 These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during | |
713 linking such as “not a COFF file”. The version of the routines shipped | |
714 with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp> | |
715 option of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit | |
716 objects using the original “small format”. A correct version of the | |
717 routines is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above. | |
718 | |
719 <p>Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation | |
720 overflow severe error when the <samp><span class="option">-bbigtoc</span></samp> option is used to link | |
721 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC. A fix | |

739 <p>AIX provides National Language Support (NLS). Compilers and assemblers | |
740 use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various data | |
741 formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., ‘<samp><span class="samp">.</span></samp>’ vs ‘<samp><span class="samp">,</span></samp>’ for | |
742 separating decimal fractions). There have been problems reported where | |
743 GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats that the assembler | |
744 expects. If one encounters this problem, set the <samp><span class="env">LANG</span></samp> | |
745 environment variable to ‘<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">En_US</span></samp>’. | |

829 <p>If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying “does not have gp | |
830 sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]”, don't worry about it. This | |
831 happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
832 really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
833 stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
834 | |
835 <p>It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
836 optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |
837 | |
838 <p>The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II | |
839 and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to | |
840 make ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-*</span></samp>’ use the generic implementation instead. You can also | |
841 configure for ‘<samp><span class="samp">mipsel-elf</span></samp>’ as a workaround. The | |
842 ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-linux*</span></samp>’ target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More | |
843 work on this is expected in future releases. | |
844 | |
845 <!-- If you make -with-llsc the default for another target, please also --> | |
846 <!-- update the description of the -with-llsc option. --> | |
847 <p>The built-in <code>__sync_*</code> functions are available on MIPS II and | |
848 later systems and others that support the ‘<samp><span class="samp">ll</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">sc</span></samp>’ and | |
849 ‘<samp><span class="samp">sync</span></samp>’ instructions. This can be overridden by passing | |
850 <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--without-llsc</span></samp> when configuring GCC. | |
851 Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are | |
852 missing, the default for ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-linux*</span></samp>’ targets is | |
853 <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp>. The <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp> and | |
854 <samp><span class="option">--without-llsc</span></samp> configure options may be overridden at compile | |
855 time by passing the <samp><span class="option">-mllsc</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">-mno-llsc</span></samp> options to | |
856 the compiler. | |
857 | |
858 <p>MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless | |
859 <samp><span class="option">-mno-check-zero-division</span></samp> is passed to the compiler) by | |
860 generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using | |
861 trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and | |
862 later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that | |
863 prevents trap from generating the proper signal (<code>SIGFPE</code>). To enable | |
864 the use of break, use the <samp><span class="option">--with-divide=breaks</span></samp> | |
865 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> option when configuring GCC. The default is to | |
866 use traps on systems that support them. | |
867 | |
868 <p>Cross-compilers for the MIPS as target using the MIPS assembler | |
869 currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs | |
870 <samp><span class="file">mips-tdump.c</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">mips-tfile.c</span></samp> can't be compiled on | |
871 anything but a MIPS. It does work to cross compile for a MIPS | |
872 if you use the GNU assembler and linker. | |
873 | |
874 <p>The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way | |
875 it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause | |
876 bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker | |
877 from GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the | |
878 runtime linker stubs in very large programs, like <samp><span class="file">libgcj.so</span></samp>, to | |
879 be incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots | |
880 made after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems. | |

886 <p>In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the ‘<samp><span class="samp">compiler_dev.hdr</span></samp>’ | |
887 subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by SGI. | |
888 It is also available for download from | |
889 <a href="ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist">ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist</a>. | |

891 <p>If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary | |
892 to increase its table size for switch statements with the | |
893 <samp><span class="option">-Wf,-XNg1500</span></samp> option. If you use the <samp><span class="option">-O2</span></samp> | |
894 optimization option, you also need to use <samp><span class="option">-Olimit 3000</span></samp>. | |
895 | |
896 <p>To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU binutils 2.15 or | |
897 later, and use the <samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-ld</span></samp> <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> option | |
898 when configuring GCC. You need to use GNU <samp><span class="command">ar</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">nm</span></samp>, | |
899 also distributed with GNU binutils. | |
900 | |
901 <p>Some users have reported that <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> will hang during bootstrap. | |
902 This problem can be avoided by running the commands: | |

912 | |
913 <p>If you are using SGI's MIPSpro <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> as your bootstrap compiler, you must | |
914 ensure that the N32 ABI is in use. To test this, compile a simple C | |
915 file with <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> and then run <samp><span class="command">file</span></samp> on the | |
916 resulting object file. The output should look like: | |
917 | |
918 <pre class="smallexample"> test.o: ELF N32 MSB ... | |
919 </pre> | |
920 <p>If you see: | |
921 | |
922 <pre class="smallexample"> test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB ... | |
923 </pre> | |
924 <p>or | |
925 | |
926 <pre class="smallexample"> test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB ... | |
927 </pre> | |
928 <p>then your version of <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default. You | |
929 should set the environment variable <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> to ‘<samp><span class="samp">cc -n32</span></samp>’ | |
930 before configuring GCC. | |
931 | |
932 <p>If you want the resulting <samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> to run on old 32-bit systems | |
933 with the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips3</span></samp>’ | |
934 instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated. While GCC 3.x does | |
935 this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> may change | |
936 the ISA depending on the machine where GCC is built. Using one of them | |
937 as the bootstrap compiler may result in ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips4</span></samp>’ code, which won't run at | |
938 all on ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips3</span></samp>’-only systems. For the test program above, you should see: | |
939 | |
940 <pre class="smallexample"> test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 ... | |
941 </pre> | |
942 <p>If you get: | |
943 | |
944 <pre class="smallexample"> test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 ... | |
945 </pre> | |
946 <p>instead, you should set the environment variable <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> to ‘<samp><span class="samp">cc | |
947 -n32 -mips3</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc -mips3</span></samp>’ respectively before configuring GCC. | |
948 | |
949 <p>MIPSpro C 7.4 may cause bootstrap failures, due to a bug when inlining | |
950 <code>memcmp</code>. Either add <code>-U__INLINE_INTRINSICS</code> to the <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> | |
951 environment variable as a workaround or upgrade to MIPSpro C 7.4.1m. | |
952 | |
953 <p>GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support the N32, O32 and N64 ABIs. If | |
954 you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries installed | |
955 or cannot run 64-bit binaries, | |
956 you need to configure with <samp><span class="option">--disable-multilib</span></samp> so GCC doesn't | |
957 try to use them. This will disable building the O32 libraries, too. | |
958 Look for <samp><span class="file">/usr/lib64/libc.so.1</span></samp> to see if you | |
959 have the 64-bit libraries installed. | |
960 | |
961 <p>To enable debugging for the O32 ABI, you must use GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> from | |
962 GNU binutils 2.15 or later. You may also use GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>, but | |
963 this is not required and currently causes some problems with Ada. | |
964 | |
965 <p>The <samp><span class="option">--enable-libgcj</span></samp> | |
966 option is disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit | |
967 (20480) for the command line length. Although <samp><span class="command">libtool</span></samp> contains a | |
968 workaround for this problem, at least the N64 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libgcj</span></samp>’ is known not | |
969 to build despite this, running into an internal error of the native | |
970 <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>. A sure fix is to increase this limit (‘<samp><span class="samp">ncargs</span></samp>’) to | |
971 its maximum of 262144 bytes. If you have root access, you can use the | |
972 <samp><span class="command">systune</span></samp> command to do this. | |
973 | |
974 <p><code>wchar_t</code> support in ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ is not available for old | |
975 IRIX 6.5.x releases, x < 19. The problem cannot be autodetected | |
976 and in order to build GCC for such targets you need to configure with | |
977 <samp><span class="option">--disable-wchar_t</span></samp>. | |

1085 | |
1086 <p>Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install | |
1087 GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see the | |
1088 <a href="binaries.html">binaries page</a> for details. | |
1089 | |
1090 <p>The Solaris 2 <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> will often fail to configure | |
1091 <samp><span class="file">libstdc++-v3</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">boehm-gc</span></samp> or <samp><span class="file">libjava</span></samp>. We therefore | |
1092 recommend using the following initial sequence of commands | |
1093 | |
1094 <pre class="smallexample"> % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh | |
1095 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
1096 </pre> | |
1097 <p>and proceed as described in <a href="configure.html">the configure instructions</a>. | |
1098 In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke | |
1099 <var>srcdir</var>/configure. | |
1100 | |
1101 <p>Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these | |
1102 are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>, | |
1103 <code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>, | |
1104 <code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>. If you did not install all | |
1105 optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that | |
1106 the packages that GCC needs are installed. | |
1107 | |
1108 <p>To check whether an optional package is installed, use | |
1109 the <samp><span class="command">pkginfo</span></samp> command. To add an optional package, use the | |
1110 <samp><span class="command">pkgadd</span></samp> command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 | |
1111 documentation. | |
1112 | |
1113 <p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in | |
1114 <samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble. | |
1115 For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove | |
1116 <samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> from your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>. | |
1117 | |
1118 <p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you | |
1119 have <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> in your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>, we recommend that you place | |
1120 <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp> before <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> for the duration of the build. | |
1121 | |
1122 <p>We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.14 or later, or the vendor tools | |
1123 (Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp>, Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>). Note that your mileage may vary | |
1124 if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the | |
1125 combination GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> should reasonably work, | |
1126 the reverse combination Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> is known to | |
1127 cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs. | |
1128 | |
1129 <p>The stock GNU binutils 2.15 release is broken on this platform because of a | |
1130 single bug. It has been fixed on the 2.15 branch in the CVS repository. | |
1131 You can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_15-branch | |
1132 from the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
1133 <a href="http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html">http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html</a> to the | |
1134 release. | |
1135 | |
1136 <p>We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.16 or later in conjunction with GCC | |
1137 4.x, or the vendor tools (Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp>, Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>). However, | |
1138 for Solaris 10 and above, an additional patch is required in order for the | |
1139 GNU linker to be able to cope with a new flavor of shared libraries. You | |
1140 can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_16-branch from | |
1141 the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
1142 <a href="http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2005-07/msg00122.html">http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2005-07/msg00122.html</a> to the | |
1143 release. | |
1144 | |
1145 <p>Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or | |
1146 newer: <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> will complain that types are missing. These headers | |
1147 assume that omitting the type means <code>int</code>; this assumption worked for | |
1148 C89 but is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. | |
1149 | |
1150 <p><samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option | |
1151 <samp><span class="option">-fpermissive</span></samp>; it will assume that any missing type is <code>int</code> | |
1152 (as defined by C89). | |
1153 | |
1154 <p>There are patches for Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC, | |
1155 108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC, | |
1156 108653-22 for Intel) that fix this bug. | |
1157 | |
1158 <p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures | |
1159 related to missing diagnostic output. This bug doesn't affect GCC | |
1160 itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> | |
1161 program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug | |
1162 causes the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> program to miss anticipated output, extra | |
1163 testsuite failures appear. | |
1164 | |
1165 <p>There are patches for Solaris 8 (117350-12 or newer for SPARC, | |
1166 117351-12 or newer for Intel) and Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for | |
1167 SPARC, 117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem. | |

1172 | |
1173 <p>When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.14 or later the binaries | |
1174 produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools; | |
1175 this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging | |
1176 information. | |
1177 | |
1178 <p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing | |
1179 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports | |
1180 this; the <samp><span class="option">-m64</span></samp> option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
1181 However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
1182 should try the <samp><span class="option">-mtune=ultrasparc</span></samp> option instead, which produces | |
1183 code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
1184 machines. | |
1185 | |
1186 <p>When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel | |
1187 that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with | |
1188 <samp><span class="option">--disable-multilib</span></samp>, since we will not be able to build the | |
1189 64-bit target libraries. | |
1190 | |
1191 <p>GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions of | |
1192 the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the | |
1193 miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the | |
1194 bootstrap process. A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary | |
1195 stage, i.e. to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then | |
1196 use it to bootstrap the final compiler. | |
1197 | |
1198 <p>GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE Studio 7) | |
1199 and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes a bootstrap | |
1200 failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler by the Sun | |
1201 compiler. This is Sun bug 4974440. This is fixed with patch 112760-07. | |
1202 | |
1203 <p>GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from STABS to DWARF-2 for | |
1204 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later. If you use the Sun assembler, this | |
1205 change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is referenced as | |
1206 a x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not use DWARF-2). | |
1207 A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++ programs like | |
1208 <samp><span class="command">groff</span></samp> 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the following: | |
1209 | |
1210 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: ... | |
1211 external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section | |
1212 .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored. | |
1213 </pre> | |
1214 <p>To work around this problem, compile with <samp><span class="option">-gstabs+</span></samp> instead of | |
1215 plain <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp>. | |
1216 | |
1217 <p>When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR | |
1218 library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical target triplet | |
1219 must be specified as the <samp><span class="command">build</span></samp> parameter on the configure | |
1220 line. This triplet can be obtained by invoking ./config.guess in | |
1221 the toplevel source directory of GCC (and not that of GMP or MPFR). | |
1222 For example on a Solaris 7 system: | |
1223 | |
1224 <pre class="smallexample"> % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx | |
1225 </pre> | |

1229 | |
1230 <p>Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in | |
1231 the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 | |
1232 and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
1233 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
1234 recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |
1235 | |
1236 <p>Here are some workarounds to this problem: | |
1237 <ul> | |
1238 <li>Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
1239 complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
1240 unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
1241 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to | |
1242 back it out. | |
1243 | |
1244 <li>Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |
1245 <samp><span class="command">/usr/ccs/bin/as</span></samp> into | |
1246 <samp><span class="command">/usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.4/as</span></samp>, | |
1247 adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software | |
1248 version numbers. | |
1249 | |
1250 <li>Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
1251 both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
1252 and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
1253 for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
1254 run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
1255 the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
1256 only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
1257 partial fix is adequate for GCC. Revision -08 or later should fix | |
1258 the bug. The current (as of 2004-05-23) revision is -24, and is included in | |
1259 the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster. | |
1260 </ul> | |
1261 | |
1262 <p>GCC 3.3 triggers a bug in version 5.0 Alpha 03/27/98 of the Sun assembler, | |
1263 which causes a bootstrap failure when linking the 64-bit shared version of | |
1264 libgcc. A typical error message is: | |
1265 | |
1266 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file libgcc/sparcv9/_muldi3.o: | |
1267 symbol <unknown>: offset 0xffffffff7ec133e7 is non-aligned. | |
1268 </pre> | |
1269 <p>This bug has been fixed in the final 5.0 version of the assembler. | |
1270 | |
1271 <p>A similar problem was reported for version Sun WorkShop 6 99/08/18 of the | |
1272 Sun assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure with GCC 4.0.0: | |
1273 | |
1274 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_DISP32: | |

1276 symbol <unknown>: offset 0xfccd33ad is non-aligned | |

1320 Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |
1321 a matter of writing an appropriate “configlette” (see below). We are | |
1322 not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of | |
1323 VxWorks in GCC 3. | |

1327 Choose an installation <var>prefix</var> entirely outside <var>$WIND_BASE</var>. | |

1335 <samp><span class="option">--with-headers=</span><var>$WIND_BASE</var><span class="option">/target/h</span></samp> switch so that it can | |
1336 find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
1337 target only, you must also specify <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>. | |
1338 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> will attempt to create the directory | |

1340 make sure the user running <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> has sufficient privilege | |

1353 (amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. | |
1354 On GNU/Linux the default is a bi-arch compiler which is able to generate | |
1355 both 64-bit x86-64 and 32-bit x86 code (via the <samp><span class="option">-m32</span></samp> switch). | |

1360 | |
1361 <p>This target is intended for embedded Xtensa systems using the | |
1362 ‘<samp><span class="samp">newlib</span></samp>’ C library. It uses ELF but does not support shared | |
1363 objects. Designed-defined instructions specified via the | |
1364 Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE) language are only supported | |
1365 through inline assembly. | |
1366 | |
1367 <p>The Xtensa configuration information must be specified prior to | |
1368 building GCC. The <samp><span class="file">include/xtensa-config.h</span></samp> header | |
1369 file contains the configuration information. If you created your | |
1370 own Xtensa configuration with the Xtensa Processor Generator, the | |
1371 downloaded files include a customized copy of this header file, | |
1372 which you can use to replace the default header file. | |

1378 <p>This target is for Xtensa systems running GNU/Linux. It supports ELF | |
1379 shared objects and the GNU C library (glibc). It also generates | |
1380 position-independent code (PIC) regardless of whether the | |
1381 <samp><span class="option">-fpic</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">-fPIC</span></samp> options are used. In other | |
1382 respects, this target is the same as the | |
1383 <a href="#xtensa*-*-elf">‘<samp><span class="samp">xtensa*-*-elf</span></samp>’</a> target. | |

1389 <h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC56"></a>Intel 16-bit versions</h4> | |
1390 | |
1391 <p>The 16-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 3.1, are not | |
1392 supported. | |
1393 | |
1394 <p>However, the 32-bit port has limited support for Microsoft | |
1395 Windows 3.11 in the Win32s environment, as a target only. See below. | |
1396 | |
1397 <h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC57"></a>Intel 32-bit versions</h4> | |
1398 | |
1399 <p>The 32-bit versions of Windows, including Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows | |
1400 XP, and Windows Vista, are supported by several different target | |
1401 platforms. These targets differ in which Windows subsystem they target | |
1402 and which C libraries are used. | |
1403 | |
1404 <ul> | |
1405 <li>Cygwin <a href="#x-x-cygwin">*-*-cygwin</a>: Cygwin provides a user-space | |
1406 Linux API emulation layer in the Win32 subsystem. | |
1407 <li>Interix <a href="#x-x-interix">*-*-interix</a>: The Interix subsystem | |
1408 provides native support for POSIX. | |
1409 <li>MinGW <a href="#x-x-mingw">*-*-mingw</a>: MinGW is a native GCC port for | |
1410 the Win32 subsystem that provides a subset of POSIX. | |
1411 <li>MKS i386-pc-mks: NuTCracker from MKS. See | |
1412 <a href="http://www.mkssoftware.com/">http://www.mkssoftware.com/</a> for more information. | |
1413 </ul> | |
1414 | |
1415 <h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC58"></a>Intel 64-bit versions</h4> | |
1416 | |
1417 <p>GCC contains support for x86-64 using the mingw-w64 | |
1418 runtime library, available from <a href="http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/">http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/</a>. | |
1419 This library should be used with the target triple x86_64-pc-mingw32. | |
1420 | |
1421 <p>Presently Windows for Itanium is not supported. | |
1422 | |
1423 <h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC59"></a>Windows CE</h4> | |
1424 | |
1425 <p>Windows CE is supported as a target only on ARM (arm-wince-pe), Hitachi | |
1426 SuperH (sh-wince-pe), and MIPS (mips-wince-pe). | |
1427 | |
1428 <h4 class="subheading"><a name="TOC60"></a>Other Windows Platforms</h4> | |
1429 | |
1430 <p>GCC no longer supports Windows NT on the Alpha or PowerPC. | |
1431 | |
1432 <p>GCC no longer supports the Windows POSIX subsystem. However, it does | |
1433 support the Interix subsystem. See above. | |
1434 | |
1435 <p>Old target names including *-*-winnt and *-*-windowsnt are no longer used. | |
1436 | |
1437 <p>PW32 (i386-pc-pw32) support was never completed, and the project seems to | |
1438 be inactive. See <a href="http://pw32.sourceforge.net/">http://pw32.sourceforge.net/</a> for more information. | |
1439 | |
1440 <p>UWIN support has been removed due to a lack of maintenance. | |

1446 <p>Ports of GCC are included with the | |
1447 <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin environment</a>. | |
1448 | |
1449 <p>GCC will build under Cygwin without modification; it does not build | |
1450 with Microsoft's C++ compiler and there are no plans to make it do so. | |
1451 | |
1452 <p>Cygwin can be compiled with i?86-pc-cygwin. | |

1457 | |
1458 <p>The Interix target is used by OpenNT, Interix, Services For UNIX (SFU), | |
1459 and Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). Applications compiled | |
1460 with this target run in the Interix subsystem, which is separate from | |
1461 the Win32 subsystem. This target was last known to work in GCC 3.3. | |

1469 <p>GCC will build with and support only MinGW runtime 3.12 and later. | |
1470 Earlier versions of headers are incompatible with the new default semantics | |

1477 <p>GCC does not currently support OS/2. However, Andrew Zabolotny has been | |
1478 working on a generic OS/2 port with pgcc. The current code can be found | |
1479 at <a href="http://www.goof.com/pcg/os2/">http://www.goof.com/pcg/os2/</a>. | |

1483 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC65"></a><a name="older"></a>Older systems</h3> | |
1484 | |
1485 <p>GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
1486 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
1487 has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
1488 several years and may suffer from bitrot. | |
1489 | |
1490 <p>Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of “obsoleted” systems. | |
1491 Support for these systems is still present in that release, but | |
1492 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> will fail unless the <samp><span class="option">--enable-obsolete</span></samp> | |
1493 option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these | |
1494 systems will be removed from the next release of GCC. | |
1495 | |
1496 <p>Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
1497 workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
1498 cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to | |
1499 bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may | |
1500 require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
1501 system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the | |
1502 vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
1503 <samp><span class="file">old-releases</span></samp> directory on the <a href="../mirrors.html">GCC mirror sites</a>. Header bugs may generally be avoided using | |
1504 <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp>, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
1505 operating system may still cause problems. | |
1506 | |
1507 <p>Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
1508 problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
1509 wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
1510 the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last | |
1511 version before they were removed), patches | |
1512 <a href="../contribute.html">following the usual requirements</a> would be | |
1513 likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
1514 modern targets. | |
1515 | |
1516 <p>For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
1517 and are available from <samp><span class="file">pub/binutils/old-releases</span></samp> on | |
1518 <a href="http://sourceware.org/mirrors.html">sourceware.org mirror sites</a>. | |
1519 | |
1520 <p>Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
1521 such older systems, but much of the information | |
1522 about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
1523 current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. | |
