| 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. | |

| 334 on FreeBSD/alpha, using binutils 2.14 or later is required to build libjava. | |
| 335 | |
| 336 <p>Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. | |
| 337 | |
| 338 <p>Support for FreeBSD 2 will be discontinued after GCC 3.4. The | |
| 339 following was true for GCC 3.1 but the current status is unknown. | |
| 340 For FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All | |
| 341 configuration support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in | |
| 342 place. FreeBSD 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, | |
| 343 it is unknown which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it | |
| 344 was the system copy in <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp>) and C++ EH failures were noted. | |
| 345 | |
| 346 <p>For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the | |
| 347 default for all CPU architectures. It had been the default on | |
| 348 FreeBSD/alpha since its inception. You may use <samp><span class="option">-gstabs</span></samp> instead | |
| 349 of <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp>, if you really want the old debugging format. There are | |
| 350 no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different | |
| 351 debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more | |
| 352 of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In | |
| 353 particular, <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads</span></samp> is now configured by default. | |
| 354 However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system | |
| 355 compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good | |
| 356 results on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5-CURRENT. In the past, known to | |
| 357 bootstrap and check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, | |
| 358 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8-STABLE. | |
| 359 | |
| 360 <p>In principle, <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads</span></samp> is now compatible with | |
| 361 <samp><span class="option">--enable-libgcj</span></samp> on FreeBSD. However, it has only been built | |
| 362 and tested on ‘<samp><span class="samp">i386-*-freebsd[45]</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">alpha-*-freebsd[45]</span></samp>’. | |
| 363 The static | |
| 364 library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time). | |
| 365 There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an | |
| 366 assumption about the thread library). Multi-threaded boehm-gc (required for | |
| 367 libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on FreeBSD before | |
| 368 4.5-RELEASE. Other CPU architectures | |
| 369 supported by FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at | |
| 370 the very least, both boehm-gc and libffi. | |
| 371 | |
| 372 <p>Shared <samp><span class="file">libgcc_s.so</span></samp> is now built and installed by default. | |

| 391 <p>Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4. | |
| 392 | |
| 393 <p>We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or | |
| 394 later is recommended. | |
| 395 | |
| 396 <p>It may be helpful to configure GCC with the | |
| 397 <a href="./configure.html#with-gnu-as"><samp><span class="option">--with-gnu-as</span></samp></a> and | |
| 398 <samp><span class="option">--with-as=...</span></samp> options to ensure that GCC can find GAS. | |
| 399 | |
| 400 <p>The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and may | |
| 401 not work. It shouldn't be used with any languages other than C due to its | |
| 402 many limitations. | |
| 403 | |
| 404 <p>Specifically, <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp> does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging | |
| 405 format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps | |
| 406 into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to | |
| 407 fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying | |
| 408 ‘<samp><span class="samp">make all-host all-target</span></samp>’ after getting the failure from ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’. | |
| 409 | |
| 410 <p>Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak | |
| 411 symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations | |
| 412 are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to | |
| 413 build many C++ applications. | |
| 414 | |
| 415 <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are | |
| 416 PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc | |
| 417 architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. | |
| 418 PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when | |
| 419 the target is a ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa1*</span></samp>’ machine. | |
| 420 | |
| 421 <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, | |
| 422 it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when | |
| 423 configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro | |
| 424 TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different | |
| 425 default scheduling model is desired. | |
| 426 | |
| 427 <p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 | |
| 428 through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. | |
| 429 This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with | |
| 430 an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same | |
| 431 namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided | |
| 432 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>’ | |
| 433 or ‘<samp><span class="samp">98</span></samp>’. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines | |
| 434 to <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp>. The description for the <samp><span class="option">munix=</span></samp> option contains | |
| 435 a list of the predefines used with each standard. | |

| 452 <p>The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0. COMDAT subspaces are | |
| 453 used for one-only code and data. This resolves many of the previous | |

| 461 <p>GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot | |
| 462 be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up. | |
| 463 | |
| 464 <p>The libffi and libjava libraries haven't been ported to 64-bit HP-UX and don't build. | |
| 465 | |
| 466 <p>Refer to <a href="binaries.html">binaries</a> for information about obtaining | |
| 467 precompiled GCC binaries for HP-UX. Precompiled binaries must be obtained | |
| 468 to build the Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C. Ada is | |
| 469 only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime. | |
| 470 | |
| 471 <p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The | |
| 472 bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP's | |
| 473 unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC. | |
| 474 | |
| 475 <p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler, | |
| 476 but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to | |
| 477 build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code and | |
| 478 can't be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be | |
| 479 avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the | |
| 480 <samp><span class="option">--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"</span></samp> option in your configure | |
| 481 command. | |
| 482 | |
| 483 <p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. | |
| 484 Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC | |
| 485 distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC | |
| 486 first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. | |
| 487 There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it | |
| 488 is best not to start from a binary distribution. | |
| 489 | |
| 490 <p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different | |
| 491 installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on | |
| 492 the same system. The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates code | |
| 493 for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. | |
| 494 The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates 64-bit code for the | |
| 495 PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. | |
| 496 | |
| 497 <p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler | |
| 498 detected during configuration. You must define <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp> or <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> so | |
| 499 that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap. | |
| 500 When <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used, the definition should contain the options that are | |
| 501 needed whenever <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used. | |
| 502 | |
| 503 <p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be | |
| 504 in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> to correctly select the target for the build. It is also | |
| 505 convenient to place many other compiler options in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp>. For example, | |
| 506 <samp><span class="env">CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"</span></samp> | |
| 507 can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in | |
| 508 64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The <samp><span class="option">+DA2.0W</span></samp> option will result in | |
| 509 the automatic selection of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target. The | |
| 510 macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful | |
| 511 build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to | |
| 512 be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the | |
| 513 <samp><span class="option">-Ac</span></samp> option. These defines aren't necessary with <samp><span class="option">-Ae</span></samp>. | |
| 514 | |
| 515 <p>It is best to explicitly configure the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target | |
| 516 with the <samp><span class="option">--with-ld=...</span></samp> option. This overrides the standard | |
| 517 search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different | |
| 518 commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a | |
| 519 result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build. | |
| 520 This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils | |
| 521 and GCC. | |
| 522 | |
| 523 <p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of | |
| 524 GCC 3.3 and later. <code>PHSS_26559</code> and <code>PHSS_24304</code> are the | |
| 525 oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX | |
| 526 11.00 and 11.11, respectively. <code>PHSS_24303</code>, the companion to | |
| 527 <code>PHSS_24304</code>, might be usable but it hasn't been tested. These | |
| 528 patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain | |
| 529 the currently recommended linker patch for your system. | |
| 530 | |
| 531 <p>The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the | |
| 532 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak | |
| 533 symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior | |
| 534 to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. | |
| 535 The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared | |
| 536 libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other | |
| 537 linking issues involving secondary symbols. | |
| 538 | |
| 539 <p>GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to | |
| 540 run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port | |
| 541 uses the linker <samp><span class="option">+init</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">+fini</span></samp> options for the same | |
| 542 purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini | |
| 543 options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a | |
| 544 problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of | |
| 545 the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers. | |
| 546 | |
| 547 <p>Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the | |
| 548 ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target, it is strongly recommended that the | |
| 549 HP linker be used for link editing on this target. | |
| 550 | |
| 551 <p>At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long | |
| 552 branch stubs. As a result, it can't successfully link binaries | |
| 553 containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, | |
| 554 there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables | |
| 555 with <samp><span class="option">-static</span></samp>, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. | |
| 556 It also doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions | |
| 557 in shared libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded. | |
| 558 | |
| 559 <p>The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol | |
| 560 versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol | |
| 561 versioning with <samp><span class="option">--disable-symvers</span></samp> when using GNU ld. | |
| 562 | |
| 563 <p>POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not | |
| 564 supported, so <samp><span class="option">--enable-threads=dce</span></samp> does not work. | |

| 640 <samp><span class="file">/etc/security/limits</span></samp> system configuration file. | |
| 641 | |
| 642 <p>To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing GCC, | |

| 648 <p>and then proceed as described in <a href="build.html">the build instructions</a>, where we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path | |
| 649 to invoke <var>srcdir</var>/configure. | |
| 650 | |
| 651 <p>Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default, | |
| 652 (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries | |
| 653 required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR | |
| 654 as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries. | |
| 655 | |
| 656 <p>Errors involving <code>alloca</code> when building GCC generally are due | |
| 657 to an incorrect definition of <code>CC</code> in the Makefile or mixing files | |
| 658 compiled with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of | |
| 659 the build, the native AIX compiler <strong>must</strong> be invoked as <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> | |
| 660 (not <samp><span class="command">xlc</span></samp>). Once <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> has been informed of | |
| 661 <samp><span class="command">xlc</span></samp>, one needs to use ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to remove the | |

| 663 does not provide a definition that will confuse <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>. | |
| 664 If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely | |
| 665 is the version of Make (see above). | |

| 667 <p>The native <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> are recommended for bootstrapping | |
| 668 on AIX 4 and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L. The GNU Assembler | |
| 669 reports that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to | |
| 670 utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported. The GNU | |
| 671 Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC. | |
| 672 The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC. | |
| 673 | |
| 674 <p>Building <samp><span class="file">libstdc++.a</span></samp> requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug | |
| 675 APAR IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). It also requires a | |
| 676 fix for another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix | |
| 677 referenced as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or a APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1) | |
| 678 | |
| 679 <p>‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the | |
| 680 shared object and GCC installation places the <samp><span class="file">libstdc++.a</span></samp> | |
| 681 shared library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC | |
| 682 3.3 version of the shared library. Applications either need to be | |
| 683 re-linked against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 and GCC 3.3 | |
| 684 versions of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ shared object needs to be available | |
| 685 to the AIX runtime loader. The GCC 3.1 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++.so.4</span></samp>’, if | |
| 686 present, and GCC 3.3 ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++.so.5</span></samp>’ shared objects can be | |
| 687 installed for runtime dynamic loading using the following steps to set | |
| 688 the ‘<samp><span class="samp">F_LOADONLY</span></samp>’ flag in the shared object for <em>each</em> | |
| 689 multilib <samp><span class="file">libstdc++.a</span></samp> installed: | |
| 690 | |
| 691 <p>Extract the shared objects from the currently installed | |
| 692 <samp><span class="file">libstdc++.a</span></samp> archive: | |
| 693 <pre class="smallexample"> % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 | |
| 694 </pre> | |
| 695 <p>Enable the ‘<samp><span class="samp">F_LOADONLY</span></samp>’ flag so that the shared object will be | |
| 696 available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking: | |
| 697 <pre class="smallexample"> % strip -e libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5 | |
| 698 </pre> | |
| 699 <p>Archive the runtime-only shared object in the GCC 3.4 | |

| 702 </pre> | |
| 703 <p>Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of | |
| 704 duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always | |
| 705 have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable | |
| 706 and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should | |
| 707 not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable | |
| 708 executable. | |
| 709 | |
| 710 <p>AIX 4.3 utilizes a “large format” archive to support both 32-bit and | |
| 711 64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1 | |
| 712 to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly. | |
| 713 These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during | |
| 714 linking such as “not a COFF file”. The version of the routines shipped | |
| 715 with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp> | |
| 716 option of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit | |
| 717 objects using the original “small format”. A correct version of the | |
| 718 routines is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above. | |
| 719 | |
| 720 <p>Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation | |
| 721 overflow severe error when the <samp><span class="option">-bbigtoc</span></samp> option is used to link | |
| 722 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC. A fix | |
| 723 for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC) is | |

| 734 <p>The initial assembler shipped with AIX 4.3.0 generates incorrect object | |
| 735 files. A fix for APAR IX74254 (64BIT DISASSEMBLED OUTPUT FROM COMPILER FAILS | |

| 739 | |
| 740 <p>AIX provides National Language Support (NLS). Compilers and assemblers | |
| 741 use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various data | |
| 742 formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., ‘<samp><span class="samp">.</span></samp>’ vs ‘<samp><span class="samp">,</span></samp>’ for | |
| 743 separating decimal fractions). There have been problems reported where | |
| 744 GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats that the assembler | |
| 745 expects. If one encounters this problem, set the <samp><span class="env">LANG</span></samp> | |
| 746 environment variable to ‘<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">En_US</span></samp>’. | |
| 747 | |
| 748 <p>By default, GCC for AIX 4.1 and above produces code that can be used on | |
| 749 both Power or PowerPC processors. | |
| 750 | |
| 751 <p>A default can be specified with the <samp><span class="option">-mcpu=</span><var>cpu_type</var></samp> | |

| 830 <p>If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying “does not have gp | |
| 831 sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]”, don't worry about it. This | |
| 832 happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not | |
| 833 really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can | |
| 834 stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker. | |
| 835 | |
| 836 <p>It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are | |
| 837 optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence. | |
| 838 | |
| 839 <p>The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II | |
| 840 and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to | |
| 841 make ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-*</span></samp>’ use the generic implementation instead. You can also | |
| 842 configure for ‘<samp><span class="samp">mipsel-elf</span></samp>’ as a workaround. The | |
| 843 ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-linux*</span></samp>’ target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More | |
| 844 work on this is expected in future releases. | |
| 845 | |
| 846 <!-- If you make -with-llsc the default for another target, please also --> | |
| 847 <!-- update the description of the -with-llsc option. --> | |
| 848 <p>The built-in <code>__sync_*</code> functions are available on MIPS II and | |
| 849 later systems and others that support the ‘<samp><span class="samp">ll</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">sc</span></samp>’ and | |
| 850 ‘<samp><span class="samp">sync</span></samp>’ instructions. This can be overridden by passing | |
| 851 <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--without-llsc</span></samp> when configuring GCC. | |
| 852 Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are | |
| 853 missing, the default for ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips*-*-linux*</span></samp>’ targets is | |
| 854 <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp>. The <samp><span class="option">--with-llsc</span></samp> and | |
| 855 <samp><span class="option">--without-llsc</span></samp> configure options may be overridden at compile | |
| 856 time by passing the <samp><span class="option">-mllsc</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">-mno-llsc</span></samp> options to | |
| 857 the compiler. | |
| 858 | |
| 859 <p>MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless | |
| 860 <samp><span class="option">-mno-check-zero-division</span></samp> is passed to the compiler) by | |
| 861 generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using | |
| 862 trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and | |
| 863 later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that | |
| 864 prevents trap from generating the proper signal (<code>SIGFPE</code>). To enable | |
| 865 the use of break, use the <samp><span class="option">--with-divide=breaks</span></samp> | |
| 866 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> option when configuring GCC. The default is to | |
| 867 use traps on systems that support them. | |
| 868 | |
| 869 <p>Cross-compilers for the MIPS as target using the MIPS assembler | |
| 870 currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs | |
| 871 <samp><span class="file">mips-tdump.c</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">mips-tfile.c</span></samp> can't be compiled on | |
| 872 anything but a MIPS. It does work to cross compile for a MIPS | |
| 873 if you use the GNU assembler and linker. | |
| 874 | |
| 875 <p>The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way | |
| 876 it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause | |
| 877 bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker | |
| 878 from GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the | |
| 879 runtime linker stubs in very large programs, like <samp><span class="file">libgcj.so</span></samp>, to | |
| 880 be incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots | |
| 881 made after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems. | |

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

| 1086 | |
| 1087 <p>Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2. To bootstrap and install | |
| 1088 GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see the | |
| 1089 <a href="binaries.html">binaries page</a> for details. | |
| 1090 | |
| 1091 <p>The Solaris 2 <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> will often fail to configure | |
| 1092 <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 | |
| 1093 recommend using the following initial sequence of commands | |
| 1094 | |
| 1095 <pre class="smallexample"> % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh | |
| 1096 % export CONFIG_SHELL | |
| 1097 </pre> | |
| 1098 <p>and proceed as described in <a href="configure.html">the configure instructions</a>. | |
| 1099 In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke | |
| 1100 <var>srcdir</var>/configure. | |
| 1101 | |
| 1102 <p>Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these | |
| 1103 are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>, | |
| 1104 <code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>, | |
| 1105 <code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>. If you did not install all | |
| 1106 optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that | |
| 1107 the packages that GCC needs are installed. | |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 <p>To check whether an optional package is installed, use | |
| 1110 the <samp><span class="command">pkginfo</span></samp> command. To add an optional package, use the | |
| 1111 <samp><span class="command">pkgadd</span></samp> command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 | |
| 1112 documentation. | |
| 1113 | |
| 1114 <p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in | |
| 1115 <samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble. | |
| 1116 For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove | |
| 1117 <samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> from your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>. | |
| 1118 | |
| 1119 <p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you | |
| 1120 have <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> in your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>, we recommend that you place | |
| 1121 <samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp> before <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> for the duration of the build. | |
| 1122 | |
| 1123 <p>We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.14 or later, or the vendor tools | |
| 1124 (Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp>, Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>). Note that your mileage may vary | |
| 1125 if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the | |
| 1126 combination GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> should reasonably work, | |
| 1127 the reverse combination Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> is known to | |
| 1128 cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs. | |
| 1129 | |
| 1130 <p>The stock GNU binutils 2.15 release is broken on this platform because of a | |
| 1131 single bug. It has been fixed on the 2.15 branch in the CVS repository. | |
| 1132 You can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_15-branch | |
| 1133 from the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
| 1134 <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 | |
| 1135 release. | |
| 1136 | |
| 1137 <p>We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.16 or later in conjunction with GCC | |
| 1138 4.x, or the vendor tools (Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp>, Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>). However, | |
| 1139 for Solaris 10 and above, an additional patch is required in order for the | |
| 1140 GNU linker to be able to cope with a new flavor of shared libraries. You | |
| 1141 can obtain a working version by checking out the binutils-2_16-branch from | |
| 1142 the CVS repository or applying the patch | |
| 1143 <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 | |
| 1144 release. | |
| 1145 | |
| 1146 <p>Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or | |
| 1147 newer: <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> will complain that types are missing. These headers | |
| 1148 assume that omitting the type means <code>int</code>; this assumption worked for | |
| 1149 C89 but is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. | |
| 1150 | |
| 1151 <p><samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option | |
| 1152 <samp><span class="option">-fpermissive</span></samp>; it will assume that any missing type is <code>int</code> | |
| 1153 (as defined by C89). | |
| 1154 | |
| 1155 <p>There are patches for Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC, | |
| 1156 108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC, | |
| 1157 108653-22 for Intel) that fix this bug. | |
| 1158 | |
| 1159 <p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures | |
| 1160 related to missing diagnostic output. This bug doesn't affect GCC | |
| 1161 itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> | |
| 1162 program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug | |
| 1163 causes the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> program to miss anticipated output, extra | |
| 1164 testsuite failures appear. | |
| 1165 | |
| 1166 <p>There are patches for Solaris 8 (117350-12 or newer for SPARC, | |
| 1167 117351-12 or newer for Intel) and Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for | |
| 1168 SPARC, 117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem. | |

| 1174 <p>When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.14 or later the binaries | |
| 1175 produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools; | |
| 1176 this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging | |
| 1177 information. | |
| 1178 | |
| 1179 <p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing | |
| 1180 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports | |
| 1181 this; the <samp><span class="option">-m64</span></samp> option enables 64-bit code generation. | |
| 1182 However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you | |
| 1183 should try the <samp><span class="option">-mtune=ultrasparc</span></samp> option instead, which produces | |
| 1184 code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC | |
| 1185 machines. | |
| 1186 | |
| 1187 <p>When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a kernel | |
| 1188 that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with | |
| 1189 <samp><span class="option">--disable-multilib</span></samp>, since we will not be able to build the | |
| 1190 64-bit target libraries. | |
| 1191 | |
| 1192 <p>GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions of | |
| 1193 the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the | |
| 1194 miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the | |
| 1195 bootstrap process. A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary | |
| 1196 stage, i.e. to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then | |
| 1197 use it to bootstrap the final compiler. | |
| 1198 | |
| 1199 <p>GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE Studio 7) | |
| 1200 and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes a bootstrap | |
| 1201 failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler by the Sun | |
| 1202 compiler. This is Sun bug 4974440. This is fixed with patch 112760-07. | |
| 1203 | |
| 1204 <p>GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from STABS to DWARF-2 for | |
| 1205 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later. If you use the Sun assembler, this | |
| 1206 change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is referenced as | |
| 1207 a x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not use DWARF-2). | |
| 1208 A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++ programs like | |
| 1209 <samp><span class="command">groff</span></samp> 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the following: | |
| 1210 | |
| 1211 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: ... | |
| 1212 external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section | |
| 1213 .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored. | |
| 1214 </pre> | |
| 1215 <p>To work around this problem, compile with <samp><span class="option">-gstabs+</span></samp> instead of | |
| 1216 plain <samp><span class="option">-g</span></samp>. | |
| 1217 | |
| 1218 <p>When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR | |
| 1219 library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical target triplet | |
| 1220 must be specified as the <samp><span class="command">build</span></samp> parameter on the configure | |
| 1221 line. This triplet can be obtained by invoking ./config.guess in | |
| 1222 the toplevel source directory of GCC (and not that of GMP or MPFR). | |
| 1223 For example on a Solaris 7 system: | |
| 1224 | |
| 1225 <pre class="smallexample"> % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx | |
| 1226 </pre> | |

| 1231 <p>Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in | |
| 1232 the dynamic linker. This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 | |
| 1233 and later, including all EGCS releases. Sun formerly recommended | |
| 1234 107058-01 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to | |
| 1235 recommend it only for people who use Sun's compilers. | |
| 1236 | |
| 1237 <p>Here are some workarounds to this problem: | |
| 1238 <ul> | |
| 1239 <li>Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a | |
| 1240 complete patch for bug 4210064. This is the simplest course to take, | |
| 1241 unless you must also use Sun's C compiler. Unfortunately 107058-01 | |
| 1242 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so you may have to | |
| 1243 back it out. | |
| 1244 | |
| 1245 <li>Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 | |
| 1246 <samp><span class="command">/usr/ccs/bin/as</span></samp> into | |
| 1247 <samp><span class="command">/usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.4/as</span></samp>, | |
| 1248 adjusting the latter name to fit your local conventions and software | |
| 1249 version numbers. | |
| 1250 | |
| 1251 <li>Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later. Nobody with | |
| 1252 both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with GCC | |
| 1253 and Sun's dynamic linker. This last course of action is riskiest, | |
| 1254 for two reasons. First, you must install 106950 on all hosts that | |
| 1255 run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to install it only on | |
| 1256 the hosts that run GCC itself. Second, Sun says that 106950-03 is | |
| 1257 only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun doesn't know whether the | |
| 1258 partial fix is adequate for GCC. Revision -08 or later should fix | |
| 1259 the bug. The current (as of 2004-05-23) revision is -24, and is included in | |
| 1260 the Solaris 7 Recommended Patch Cluster. | |
| 1261 </ul> | |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 <p>GCC 3.3 triggers a bug in version 5.0 Alpha 03/27/98 of the Sun assembler, | |
| 1264 which causes a bootstrap failure when linking the 64-bit shared version of | |
| 1265 libgcc. A typical error message is: | |
| 1266 | |
| 1267 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file libgcc/sparcv9/_muldi3.o: | |
| 1268 symbol <unknown>: offset 0xffffffff7ec133e7 is non-aligned. | |
| 1269 </pre> | |
| 1270 <p>This bug has been fixed in the final 5.0 version of the assembler. | |
| 1271 | |
| 1272 <p>A similar problem was reported for version Sun WorkShop 6 99/08/18 of the | |
| 1273 Sun assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure with GCC 4.0.0: | |
| 1274 | |
| 1275 <pre class="smallexample"> ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_DISP32: | |

| 1317 | |
| 1318 <p>Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports <em>only</em> the | |
| 1319 very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC. | |
| 1320 We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5. | |
| 1321 Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely | |
| 1322 a matter of writing an appropriate “configlette” (see below). We are | |
| 1323 not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of | |
| 1324 VxWorks in GCC 3. | |
| 1325 | |
| 1326 <p>VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in | |
| 1327 <samp><var>$WIND_BASE</var><span class="file">/host</span></samp>; we recommend you do not overwrite it. | |
| 1328 Choose an installation <var>prefix</var> entirely outside <var>$WIND_BASE</var>. | |
| 1329 Before running <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp>, create the directories <samp><var>prefix</var></samp> | |
| 1330 and <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>. Link or copy the appropriate assembler, | |
| 1331 linker, etc. into <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>, and set your <var>PATH</var> to | |
| 1332 include that directory while running both <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> and | |
| 1333 <samp><span class="command">make</span></samp>. | |
| 1334 | |
| 1335 <p>You must give <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> the | |
| 1336 <samp><span class="option">--with-headers=</span><var>$WIND_BASE</var><span class="option">/target/h</span></samp> switch so that it can | |
| 1337 find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation | |
| 1338 target only, you must also specify <samp><span class="option">--target=</span><var>target</var></samp>. | |
| 1339 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> will attempt to create the directory | |
| 1340 <samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/sys-include</span></samp> and copy files into it; | |
| 1341 make sure the user running <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> has sufficient privilege | |
| 1342 to do so. | |
| 1343 | |
| 1344 <p>GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special “configlette” | |
| 1345 module, <samp><span class="file">contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c</span></samp>. Follow the instructions in | |
| 1346 that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of | |
| 1347 VxWorks will incorporate this module.) | |

| 1394 | |
| 1395 <p>However, the 32-bit port has limited support for Microsoft | |

| 1431 <p>GCC no longer supports Windows NT on the Alpha or PowerPC. | |

| 1484 <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC65"></a><a name="older"></a>Older systems</h3> | |
| 1485 | |
| 1486 <p>GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early | |
| 1487 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems | |
| 1488 has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for | |
| 1489 several years and may suffer from bitrot. | |
| 1490 | |
| 1491 <p>Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of “obsoleted” systems. | |
| 1492 Support for these systems is still present in that release, but | |
| 1493 <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> will fail unless the <samp><span class="option">--enable-obsolete</span></samp> | |
| 1494 option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these | |
| 1495 systems will be removed from the next release of GCC. | |
| 1496 | |
| 1497 <p>Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the | |
| 1498 workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the | |
| 1499 cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to | |
| 1500 bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may | |
| 1501 require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that | |
| 1502 system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the | |
| 1503 vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the | |
| 1504 <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 | |
| 1505 <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp>, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the | |
| 1506 operating system may still cause problems. | |
| 1507 | |
| 1508 <p>Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less | |
| 1509 problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast | |
| 1510 wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of | |
| 1511 the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last | |
| 1512 version before they were removed), patches | |
| 1513 <a href="../contribute.html">following the usual requirements</a> would be | |
| 1514 likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more | |
| 1515 modern targets. | |
| 1516 | |
| 1517 <p>For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful, | |
| 1518 and are available from <samp><span class="file">pub/binutils/old-releases</span></samp> on | |
| 1519 <a href="http://sourceware.org/mirrors.html">sourceware.org mirror sites</a>. | |
| 1520 | |
| 1521 <p>Some of the information on specific systems above relates to | |
| 1522 such older systems, but much of the information | |
| 1523 about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to | |
| 1524 current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual. | |
