[gentoo-dev] GCC 3.1/binutils 2.12 and glibc compile problems

[gentoo-dev] GCC 3.1/binutils 2.12 and glibc compile problems

[Webmaster Refstart.NL]

Hi all,

I try to set up a GCC 3.1 based Gentoo system with binutils 2.12. When I try to run ./scripts/bootstrap in the directory /usr/portage, I get errors when compiling glibc (sorry, I can't c/p the output). I've the following compile flags in /etc/make.conf:

CHOST = i686-pc-linux-gnu 
CXXFLAGS = -march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -O3 -pipe 
CFLAGS = -march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -O3 -pipe

Is this a bug in glibc or should I use binutils 2.11 (without the combreloc tweak)?

Thanks in advance,

Niek.

What's your starting point? A raw system straight from a tar-ball off a CD or 
have you already bootstrapped once and are trying again to make use of the 
athlon-specific optimization flags?

If the answer is 1) then it's odd since it seems quite a few people (including 
myself) have been able to bootstrap with gcc-3.1 You may want to review your 
optimization flags, however since the sse-stuff will change the abi and could 
lead to various problems in the future.

If the answer is 2) then that's a known problem: search the list archives at 
http://fireserver.ath.cx/gentoo/search/index.html for more info.

Oh, and I did bootstrap w. binutils 2.12.

I see an occaisional message with "odd" make flags like this one with
3dnow.  Is there a comprehensive list hidden somewhere?  I am
particularly interested in athlon ones, for gcc-2.95, at least until
gcc3 builds become feasable.

The gcc manual is the place to look. If you do a google earch you should find 
some good links too If you're after athlon specifics it has to be a gcc-3.x 
manual athlon optimizations weren't introduced until then.

I'm buiding a raw system from a Gentoo 1.1a stage 1 tarball.

I tested this and removed all sse, mmx and 3dnow flags, but it won't help. I get the same error, this is what happens:


gawk: scripts/versions.awk:68: (FILENAME=- FNR=3) fatal: printf to "sort -n > /v

I think this is a bug in glibc, is it easy to solve?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Niek.

I've had this, it went away magically after starting over (From scratch)
and dropping all trhe fancy optimization options when bootstrapping,
after that you can experiment again.

[Webmaster Refstart.NL]

I removed the athlon compile flags and set the standard i686 flags, but if I try to bootstrap, I get the same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Niek.

That is symptomatic of a portage (ie. sandbox) built with a gcc3.1. See
the m4/autoconf bug. You might try unpacking the rescue portage (which
afaik, is bot built with gcc3.1) to get around this.
