[gentoo-alpha] gcc 4.1.1-r3?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3327 bytes --]

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to alpha profile for gentoo 2007. Since  
gcc 4.1.1 has been considered stable, it is included in my system  
emerge process. BTW I cannot compile it. Before posting the bug  
report on bugs.gentoo.org, I would like to know if somebody here has  
gcc 4.1.1 working on gentoo alpha

In Gentoo/Alpha gcc is usually well tested before it goes to stable (due 
to the nature of our distribution). So yes, some of us have gcc 4.1.1 
working on alpha.

Anyway, it's quite difficult to check every combination present in each 
system, so probably something in your system is triggering the error. 
Best thing to do is file a bug and attach there your emerge --info and 
the error.

We'll be happy to take care of it.

Thanks.
Kind Regards.

done. it's bug 178482

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178482

in the meantime, do you have any hint? It is a DS25 (ev68 processor).  
I've tried to change -march flag from ev67 to ev6, I've tried to  
remove -j3 make option... no way!
I'm in the middle of a general upgrading, so it would be great to  
have a system working in a few time. Do you think I can go on in  
emerging system? I still miss these packages:

# emerge -Dup system

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating system dependencies... done!

and a 2.6 kernel (of course). I was afraid that new kernel wouldn't

Hi again, I'm trying to compile it on my own, without portage and  
following portage "econf" value.
So, it seems I can compile (well, it hasn't ended yet, but seems to  
go on on stage2....)
I've noticed a thing. My CFLAGS are

CFLAGS="-mieee -mcpu=ev67 -Wa,-mev6 -O2 -pipe "

as defined in /etc/make.conf, but as I emerge gcc, the CFLAGS that  
appear at the top (and used during gcc build) are

CFLAGS="-mieee -mcpu=ev67 -O2 -pipe "

so the "-Wa,-mev6" has been blown away.... In past times I've found  
that on ev68 processors this flag was necessary for compiling many  
things (including gcc), I can't recall where I found this, but I've  
posted it on safe cflags wiki on gentoo wiki.
Now I wonder how can I modify the gcc ebuild to prevent this (I  
prefer the use of ebuilds in place of manual installation), but gcc  
ebuild are pretty strange and fcc-4.1.1-r3 ebuild (like others, I  
presume) calls some emerge functions that are not within the ebuild  
itself. Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks

Ok, it compiles

I've tried this:

# ALLOWED_FLAGS='-mieee -march -Wa,-mev6 -O2 -pipe' emerge -O gcc

it inserts the '-Wa,-mev6' flag into the configure script but it  
segfaults the same... :-(
I wonder if configure/make/make install will be ok and if eselect  
utility understands that gcc-4.1.1 has been installed (manually). I'm  
going to add it into /etc/portage/package.provided...

Hi all again! I'm sorry for this but I would like to give you an  
update on what's happening here.
I've done with gcc emerging, at least. I had to compile and install  
it manually, add a proper /etc/env.d/gcc config file, let gcc-config  
select the new gcc-4.1.1 and then reemerge it. It seems to work fine.  
I can go on with emerging an updated system, I hope.

BTW, I'm courious: how many people in this list have a DS25 or at  
least an ev68 processor? It seems we are very few people and it is  
hard to fix errors...

Cheers

Couple of things here..

First, adding -Wa,-mev6 to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS is definitely not needed
and I would expect it break a few things personally.

Second, I've been using gcc-4.1.1-r3 for months on EV68 system(s) with
no problem at all. I'm maintaining all the toolchain stuff on alpha as
so far testing and keywording goes and I do most of my work on a CS20
(dual ev68AL so fairly close to your DS25 regarding specs). I haven't
seen any gcc related problems personally.

So I expect your problems either stems from your CFLAGS or perhaps from
glibc that. Which version of glibc are you using and what USE flags are
enabled?

Bryan Østergaard

In fact I've seen that the final attempt of emerging the flag is kept  
apart and gcc compiles.

mmm, glibc 2.3.5. About USE flags:

USE="-X -alsa threads mysql ldap"

Since you are here, do you have a .config file for gentoo- 
sources-2.6.19-r5 that allows a stable kernel for a DS25? I can't  
boot at all. Actually I'm still on 2.4.30 since I never was able to  
compile a working kernel on this machine (whereas an ES40 I have here  
runs on 2.6.xx).
