These failures, which +are often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely +be ignored. + + <p>It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files. +Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings +unless they cause compilation to fail. Developers should attempt to fix +any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past +warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag +<samp><span class="option">--disable-werror</span></samp>. + + <p>On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such as +<samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> can interfere with the functioning of <samp><span class="command">make</span></samp>. + + <p>If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the +compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be +because you have previously configured the compiler in the source +directory.

These problems +result in a failure to fix the declaration of <code>size_t</code> in +<samp><span class="file">sys/types.h</span></samp>. If you find that <code>size_t</code> is a signed type and +that type mismatches occur, this could be the cause. + + <p>The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC. + + <p>Similarly, when building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify +<samp><span class="file">*.l</span></samp> files, you need the Flex lexical analyzer generator +installed. If you do not modify <samp><span class="file">*.l</span></samp> files, releases contain +the Flex-generated files and you do not need Flex installed to build +them. There is still one Flex-based lexical analyzer (part of the +build machinery, not of GCC itself) that is used even if you only +build the C front end. + + <p>When building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo +documentation, you need version 4.7 or later of Texinfo installed if you +want Info documentation to be regenerated. Releases contain Info +documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release. + +<h3 class="section"><a name="TOC0"></a>Building a native compiler</h3> + +<p>For a native build, the default configuration is to perform +a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’ is invoked. +This will build the entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles +itself correctly. It can be disabled with the <samp><span class="option">--disable-bootstrap</span></samp> +parameter to ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’, but bootstrapping is suggested because +the compiler will be tested more completely and could also have +better performance. + + <p>The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps: + + <ul> +<li>Build tools necessary to build the compiler. + + <li>Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This includes building +three times the target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils +(bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they have been +individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source tree before +configuring. + + <li>Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers. + + <li>Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step. + + </ul> + + <p>If you are short on disk space you might consider ‘<samp><span class="samp">make +bootstrap-lean</span></samp>’ instead. The sequence of compilation is the +same described above, but object files from the stage1 and +stage2 of the 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as +soon as they are no longer needed. + + <p>If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 +and stage3 compilers, set <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code> on the command line when +doing ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’. For example, if you want to save additional space +during the bootstrap and in the final installation as well, you can +build the compiler binaries without debugging information as in the +following example. This will save roughly 40% of disk space both for +the bootstrap and the final installation. (Libraries will still contain +debugging information.) + +<pre class="smallexample"> make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap +</pre> + <p>You can place non-default optimization flags into <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code>; they +are less well tested here than the default of ‘<samp><span class="samp">-g -O2</span></samp>’, but should +still work. In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special +flags such as <samp><span class="option">-msoft-float</span></samp> here to complete the bootstrap; or, +if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need +to work around this, by choosing <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code> to avoid the parts +of the stage1 compiler that were miscompiled, or by using ‘<samp><span class="samp">make +bootstrap4</span></samp>’ to increase the number of stages of bootstrap. + + <p><code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code> does not apply to bootstrapped target libraries. +Since these are always compiled with the compiler currently being +bootstrapped, you can use <code>CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET</code> to modify their +compilation flags, as for non-bootstrapped target libraries. +Again, if the native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may +need to work around this by avoiding non-working parts of the stage1 +compiler. Use <code>STAGE1_TFLAGS</code> to this end. + + <p>If you used the flag <samp><span class="option">--enable-languages=...</span></samp> to restrict +the compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be +built. This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for +which the particular compiler has been built. Please note, +that re-defining <samp><span class="env">LANGUAGES</span></samp> when calling ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’ +<strong>does not</strong> work anymore! + + <p>If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates +that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore +a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report. (On +a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they +always appear “different”. If you encounter this problem, you will +need to disable comparison in the <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>.) + + <p>If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with +<samp><span class="option">--disable-bootstrap</span></samp>. In particular cases, you may want to +bootstrap your compiler even if the target system is not the same as +the one you are building on: for example, you could build a +<code>powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu</code> toolchain on a +<code>powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu</code> host. In this case, pass +<samp><span class="option">--enable-bootstrap</span></samp> to the configure script. + + <p><code>BUILD_CONFIG</code> can be used to bring in additional customization +to the build. It can be set to a whitespace-separated list of names. +For each such <code>NAME</code>, top-level <samp><span class="file">config/</span><code>NAME</code><span class="file">.mk</span></samp> will +be included by the top-level <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>, bringing in any settings +it contains. The default <code>BUILD_CONFIG</code> can be set using the +configure option <samp><span class="option">--with-build-config=</span><code>NAME</code><span class="option">...</span></samp>. Some +examples of supported build configurations are: + + <dl> +<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-O1</span></samp>’<dd>Removes any <samp><span class="option">-O</span></samp>-started option from <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code>, and adds +<samp><span class="option">-O1</span></samp> to it. ‘<samp><span class="samp">BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-O1</span></samp>’ is equivalent to +‘<samp><span class="samp">BOOT_CFLAGS='-g -O1'</span></samp>’. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-O3</span></samp>’<dd>Analogous to <code>bootstrap-O1</code>. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-lto</span></samp>’<dd>Enables Link-Time Optimization for host tools during bootstrapping. +‘<samp><span class="samp">BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-lto</span></samp>’ is equivalent to adding +<samp><span class="option">-flto</span></samp> to ‘<samp><span class="samp">BOOT_CFLAGS</span></samp>’. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug</span></samp>’<dd>Verifies that the compiler generates the same executable code, whether +or not it is asked to emit debug information. To this end, this +option builds stage2 host programs without debug information, and uses +<samp><span class="file">contrib/compare-debug</span></samp> to compare them with the stripped stage3 +object files. If <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code> is overridden so as to not enable +debug information, stage2 will have it, and stage3 won't. This option +is enabled by default when GCC bootstrapping is enabled, if +<code>strip</code> can turn object files compiled with and without debug +info into identical object files. In addition to better test +coverage, this option makes default bootstraps faster and leaner. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug-big</span></samp>’<dd>Rather than comparing stripped object files, as in +<code>bootstrap-debug</code>, this option saves internal compiler dumps +during stage2 and stage3 and compares them as well, which helps catch +additional potential problems, but at a great cost in terms of disk +space. It can be specified in addition to ‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug</span></samp>’. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug-lean</span></samp>’<dd>This option saves disk space compared with <code>bootstrap-debug-big</code>, +but at the expense of some recompilation. Instead of saving the dumps +of stage2 and stage3 until the final compare, it uses +<samp><span class="option">-fcompare-debug</span></samp> to generate, compare and remove the dumps +during stage3, repeating the compilation that already took place in +stage2, whose dumps were not saved. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug-lib</span></samp>’<dd>This option tests executable code invariance over debug information +generation on target libraries, just like <code>bootstrap-debug-lean</code> +tests it on host programs. It builds stage3 libraries with +<samp><span class="option">-fcompare-debug</span></samp>, and it can be used along with any of the +<code>bootstrap-debug</code> options above. + + <p>There aren't <code>-lean</code> or <code>-big</code> counterparts to this option +because most libraries are only build in stage3, so bootstrap compares +would not get significant coverage. Moreover, the few libraries built +in stage2 are used in stage3 host programs, so we wouldn't want to +compile stage2 libraries with different options for comparison purposes. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-debug-ckovw</span></samp>’<dd>Arranges for error messages to be issued if the compiler built on any +stage is run without the option <samp><span class="option">-fcompare-debug</span></samp>. This is +useful to verify the full <samp><span class="option">-fcompare-debug</span></samp> testing coverage. It +must be used along with <code>bootstrap-debug-lean</code> and +<code>bootstrap-debug-lib</code>. + + <br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bootstrap-time</span></samp>’<dd>Arranges for the run time of each program started by the GCC driver, +built in any stage, to be logged to <samp><span class="file">time.log</span></samp>, in the top level of +the build tree. + + </dl> + +<h3 class="section"><a name="TOC1"></a>Building a cross compiler</h3> + +<p>When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a +3-stage bootstrap of the compiler. This makes for an interesting problem +as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC. + + <p>To build a cross compiler, we recommend first building and installing a +native compiler. You can then use the native GCC compiler to build the +cross compiler. The installed native compiler needs to be GCC version +2.95 or later. + + <p>If the cross compiler is to be built with support for the Java +programming language and the ability to compile .java source files is +desired, the installed native compiler used to build the cross +compiler needs to be the same GCC version as the cross compiler. In +addition the cross compiler needs to be configured with +<samp><span class="option">--with-ecj-jar=...</span></samp>. + + <p>Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and configured +your cross compiler, issue the command <samp><span class="command">make</span></samp>, which performs the +following steps: + + <ul> +<li>Build host tools necessary to build the compiler. + + <li>Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd, +binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) +if they have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source +tree before configuring. + + <li>Build the compiler (single stage only). + + <li>Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step. +</ul> + + <p>Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit. + + <p>If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC, +you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before +configuring GCC. Put them in the directory +<samp><var>prefix</var><span class="file">/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/bin</span></samp>. Here is a table of the tools +you should put in this directory: + + <dl> +<dt><samp><span class="file">as</span></samp><dd>This should be the cross-assembler. + + <br><dt><samp><span class="file">ld</span></samp><dd>This should be the cross-linker. + + <br><dt><samp><span class="file">ar</span></samp><dd>This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate +archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format. + + <br><dt><samp><span class="file">ranlib</span></samp><dd>This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file. +</dl> + + <p>The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory, +and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to +find them when run later. + + <p>The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils package. +Configure it with the same <samp><span class="option">--host</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">--target</span></samp> +options that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install +them. They install their executables automatically into the proper +directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC +supports. + + <p>If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC, +you should also provide the target libraries and headers before +configuring GCC, specifying the directories with +<samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--with-headers</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="option">--with-libs</span></samp>. Many targets also require “start files” such +as <samp><span class="file">crt0.o</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="file">crtn.o</span></samp> which are linked into each executable. There may be several +alternatives for <samp><span class="file">crt0.o</span></samp>, for use with profiling or other +compilation options. Check your target's definition of +<code>STARTFILE_SPEC</code> to find out what start files it uses. + +<h3 class="section"><a name="TOC2"></a>Building in parallel</h3> + +<p>GNU Make 3.80 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support +building in parallel. To activate this, you can use ‘<samp><span class="samp">make -j 2</span></samp>’ +instead of ‘<samp><span class="samp">make</span></samp>’. You can also specify a bigger number, and +in most cases using a value greater than the number of processors in +your machine will result in fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus +improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow drives +and network filesystems. + +<h3 class="section"><a name="TOC3"></a>Building the Ada compiler</h3> + +<p>In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT +compiler (GCC version 4.0 or later). +This includes GNAT tools such as <samp><span class="command">gnatmake</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="command">gnatlink</span></samp>, since the Ada front end is written in Ada and +uses some GNAT-specific extensions. + + <p>In order to build a cross compiler, it is suggested to install +the new compiler as native first, and then use it to build the cross +compiler. + + <p><samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> does not test whether the GNAT installation works +and has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is +installed, the build will fail unless <samp><span class="option">--enable-languages</span></samp> is +used to disable building the Ada front end. + + <p><samp><span class="env">ADA_INCLUDE_PATH</span></samp> and <samp><span class="env">ADA_OBJECT_PATH</span></samp> environment variables +must not be set when building the Ada compiler, the Ada tools, or the +Ada runtime libraries.

This +should result in a faster compiler binary. Experiments done on x86 using gcc +3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C programs. To +bootstrap the compiler with profile feedback, use <code>make profiledbootstrap</code>. + + <p>When ‘<samp><span class="samp">make profiledbootstrap</span></samp>’ is run, it will first build a <code>stage1</code> +compiler. This compiler is used to build a <code>stageprofile</code> compiler +instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch +probabilities. Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile collected. +Finally a <code>stagefeedback</code> compiler is built using the information collected. + + <p>Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply. The +compiler used to build <code>stage1</code> needs to support a 64-bit integral type. +It is recommended to only use GCC for this.

Using these can lead to various sorts of build +problems. To avoid this issue, set the <samp><span class="env">PWDCMD</span></samp> environment +variable to an automounter-aware <samp><span class="command">pwd</span></samp> command, e.g., +<samp><span class="command">pawd</span></samp> or ‘<samp><span class="samp">amq -w</span></samp>’, during the configuration and build +phases. + + <p>First, we <strong>highly</strong> recommend that GCC be built into a +separate directory from the sources which does <strong>not</strong> reside +within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building +where <var>srcdir</var> == <var>objdir</var> should still work, but doesn't +get extensive testing; building where <var>objdir</var> is a subdirectory +of <var>srcdir</var> is unsupported. + + <p>If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a +different target machine, do ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ to delete all files +that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp>; +if ‘<samp><span class="samp">make distclean</span></samp>’ complains that <samp><span class="file">Makefile</span></samp> does not exist +or issues a message like “don't know how to make distclean” it probably +means that the directory is already suitably clean. However, with the +recommended method of building in a separate <var>objdir</var>, you should +simply use a different <var>objdir</var> for each target. + + <p>Second, when configuring a native system, either <samp><span class="command">cc</span></samp> or +<samp><span class="command">gcc</span></samp> must be in your path or you must set <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> in +your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration +scripts may fail. + + <p>To configure GCC: + +<pre class="smallexample"> % mkdir <var>objdir</var> + % cd <var>objdir</var> + % <var>srcdir</var>/configure [<var>options</var>] [<var>target</var>] +</pre> + <h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC0"></a>Distributor options</h3> + +<p>If you will be distributing binary versions of GCC, with modifications +to the source code, you should use the options described in this +section to make clear that your version contains modifications. + + <dl> +<dt><code>--with-pkgversion=</code><var>version</var><dd>Specify a string that identifies your package.

For example, if you want the ‘<samp><span class="samp">gcc</span></samp>’ program name to be +transformed to the installed program <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/myowngcc</span></samp> and +the ‘<samp><span class="samp">g++</span></samp>’ program name to be transformed to +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/gspecial++</span></samp> without changing other program names, +you could use the pattern +<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/'</span></samp> +to achieve this effect. + + <p>All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in more +complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, <var>prefix</var> (and +<var>suffix</var>) are prepended (appended) before further transformations +can happen with a special transformation script <var>pattern</var>. + + <p>As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native +builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even when a +transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these options. + + <p>For native builds, some of the installed programs are also installed +with the target alias in front of their name, as in +‘<samp><span class="samp">i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc</span></samp>’. All of the above transformations happen +before the target alias is prepended to the name—so, specifying +<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix=foo-</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">program-suffix=-3.1</span></samp>, the +resulting binary would be installed as +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1</span></samp>. + + <p>As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are +transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time. + + <br><dt><code>--with-local-prefix=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specify the +installation directory for local include files. The default is +<samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>. Specify this option if you want the compiler to +search directory <samp><var>dirname</var><span class="file">/include</span></samp> for locally installed +header files <em>instead</em> of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. + + <p>You should specify <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>only</strong> if your +site has a different convention (not <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>) for where to put +site-specific files. + + <p>The default value for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> is <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp> +regardless of the value of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp>. Specifying +<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> has no effect on which directory GCC searches for +local header files. This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is +logical. + + <p>The purpose of <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> is to specify where to <em>install +GCC</em>. The local header files in <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>—if you put +any in that directory—are not part of GCC. They are part of other +programs—perhaps many others. (GCC installs its own header files in +another directory which is based on the <samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> value.) + + <p>Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include +directory are part of GCC's “system include” directories. Although these +two directories are not fixed, they need to be searched in the proper +order for the correct processing of the include_next directive. The +local-prefix include directory is searched before the GCC-prefix +include directory. Another characteristic of system include directories +is that pedantic warnings are turned off for headers in these directories. + + <p>Some autoconf macros add <samp><span class="option">-I </span><var>directory</var></samp> options to the +compiler command line, to ensure that directories containing installed +packages' headers are searched. When <var>directory</var> is one of GCC's +system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that system +directories continue to be processed in the correct order. This +may result in a search order different from what was specified but the +directory will still be searched. + + <p>GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using +<samp><span class="env">GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</span></samp>. Thus, when the same installation prefix is +used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for +both headers and libraries. This provides a configuration that is +easy to use. GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is +installed as a system compiler in <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. + + <p>Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to +use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the +<samp><span class="option">--program-prefix</span></samp>, <samp><span class="option">--program-suffix</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="option">--program-transform-name</span></samp> options to install multiple versions +into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different prefixes +and the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> option to specify the location of the +site-specific files for each version. It will then be necessary for +users to specify explicitly the location of local site libraries +(e.g., with <samp><span class="env">LIBRARY_PATH</span></samp>). + + <p>The same value can be used for both <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> and +<samp><span class="option">--prefix</span></samp> provided it is not <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp>. This can be used +to avoid the default search of <samp><span class="file">/usr/local/include</span></samp>. + + <p><strong>Do not</strong> specify <samp><span class="file">/usr</span></samp> as the <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp>! +The directory you use for <samp><span class="option">--with-local-prefix</span></samp> <strong>must not</strong> +contain any of the system's standard header files. If it did contain +them, certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on +certain targets), because this would override and nullify the header +file corrections made by the <samp><span class="command">fixincludes</span></samp> script. + + <p>Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken +ideas of what it is for. People use it as if it specified where to +install part of GCC. Perhaps they make this assumption because +installing GCC creates the directory. + + <br><dt><code>--with-native-system-header-dir=</code><var>dirname</var><dd>Specifies that <var>dirname</var> is the directory that contains native system +header files, rather than <samp><span class="file">/usr/include</span></samp>. This option is most useful +if you are creating a compiler that should be isolated from the system +as much as possible. It is most commonly used with the +<samp><span class="option">--with-sysroot</span></samp> option and will cause GCC to search +<var>dirname</var> inside the system root specified by that option. + + <br><dt><code>--enable-shared[=</code><var>package</var><code>[,...]]</code><dd>Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are supported on +the target platform.

But this License is not limited to software manuals; +it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or +whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License +principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. + + <li>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + + <p>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be +distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a +world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that +work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, +refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a +licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you +copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission +under copyright law. + + <p>A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the +Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with +modifications and/or translated into another language. + + <p>A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section +of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the +publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall +subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall +directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in +part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain +any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical +connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, +commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding +them. + + <p>The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles +are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice +that says that the Document is released under this License. If a +section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not +allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero +Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant +Sections then there are none. + + <p>The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, +as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that +the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may +be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. + + <p>A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, +represented in a format whose specification is available to the +general public, that is suitable for revising the document +straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of +pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available +drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or +for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input +to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file +format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart +or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. +An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount +of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”. + + <p>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain +<span class="sc">ascii</span> without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input +format, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or <acronym>XML</acronym> using a publicly available +<acronym>DTD</acronym>, and standard-conforming simple <acronym>HTML</acronym>, +PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> designed for human modification. Examples +of transparent image formats include <acronym>PNG</acronym>, <acronym>XCF</acronym> and +<acronym>JPG</acronym>. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be +read and edited only by proprietary word processors, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or +<acronym>XML</acronym> for which the <acronym>DTD</acronym> and/or processing tools are +not generally available, and the machine-generated <acronym>HTML</acronym>, +PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> produced by some word processors for +output purposes only. + + <p>The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, +plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material +this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in +formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means +the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, +preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + + <p>The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies +of the Document to the public. + + <p>A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose +title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following +text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a +specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, +“Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” +of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a +section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition. + + <p>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which +states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty +Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this +License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other +implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has +no effect on the meaning of this License. + + <li>VERBATIM COPYING + + <p>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either +commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the +copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies +to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other +conditions whatsoever to those of this License.

If you distribute a large enough +number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. + + <p>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and +you may publicly display copies. + + <li>COPYING IN QUANTITY + + <p>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have +printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the +Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the +copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover +Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on +the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify +you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present +the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and +visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. +Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve +the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated +as verbatim copying in other respects. + + <p>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit +legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit +reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent +pages. + + <p>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering +more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent +copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy +a computer-network location from which the general network-using +public has access to download using public-standard network protocols +a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. +If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, +when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure +that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated +location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an +Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that +edition to the public. + + <p>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the +Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give +them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. + + <li>MODIFICATIONS + + <p>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under +the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release +the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified +Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution +and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy +of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: + + <ol type=A start=1> +<li>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct +from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions +(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section +of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version +if the original publisher of that version gives permission. + + <li>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities +responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified +Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the +Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), +unless they release you from this requirement. + + <li>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the +Modified Version, as the publisher. + + <li>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + + <li>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications +adjacent to the other copyright notices. + + <li>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice +giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the +terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. + + <li>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections +and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. + + <li>Include an unaltered copy of this License. + + <li>Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add +to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and +publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If +there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one +stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as +given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified +Version as stated in the previous sentence. + + <li>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for +public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise +the network locations given in the Document for previous versions +it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. +You may omit a network location for a work that was published at +least four years before the Document itself, or if the original +publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. + + <li>For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve +the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the +substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or +dedications given therein. + + <li>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, +unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers +or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + + <li>Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section +may not be included in the Modified Version. + + <li>Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or +to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. + + <li>Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. + </ol> + + <p>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or +appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material +copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all +of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the +list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. +These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. + + <p>You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains +nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various +parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has +been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a +standard. + + <p>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a +passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list +of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of +Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or +through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already +includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or +by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, +you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit +permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. + + <p>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License +give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or +imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + + <li>COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + <p>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this +License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified +versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the +Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and +list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its +license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. + + <p>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and +multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single +copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but +different contents, make the title of each such section unique by +adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original +author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. +Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of +Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. + + <p>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” +in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled +“History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, +and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all +sections Entitled “Endorsements.” + + <li>COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + <p>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents +released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this +License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in +the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for +verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. + + <p>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute +it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this +License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all +other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. + + <li>AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + <p>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate +and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or +distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright +resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights +of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. +When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not +apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves +derivative works of the Document. + + <p>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these +copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of +the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on +covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the +electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. +Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole +aggregate. + + <li>TRANSLATION + + <p>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may +distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. +Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special +permission from their copyright holders, but you may include +translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the +original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a +translation of this License, and all the license notices in the +Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include +the original English version of this License and the original versions +of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between +the translation and the original version of this License or a notice +or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. + + <p>If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, +“Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve +its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual +title. + + <li>TERMINATION + + <p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and +will automatically terminate your rights under this License. + + <p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license +from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, +unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally +terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder +fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to +60 days after the cessation. + + <p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after +your receipt of the notice. + + <p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently +reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does +not give you any rights to use it. + + <li>FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + <p>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions +of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new +versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may +differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See +<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>. + + <p>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. +If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this +License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of +following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or +of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the +Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version +number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not +as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document +specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this +License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a +version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the +Document. + + <li>RELICENSING + + <p>“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any +World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also +provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A +public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A +“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the +site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC +site. + + <p>“CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 +license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit +corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, +California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license +published by that same organization. + + <p>“Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or +in part, as part of another Document. + + <p>An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this +License, and if all works that were first published under this License +somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole +or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, +and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. + + <p>The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site +under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, +provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. + + </ol> + +<h3 class="unnumberedsec"><a name="TOC0"></a>ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents</h3> + +<p>To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of +the License in the document and put the following copyright and +license notices just after the title page: + +<pre class="smallexample"> Copyright (C) <var>year</var> <var>your name</var>. + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document + under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 + or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; + with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover + Texts.

It is provided for historical +reference only, because of a lack of volunteers to merge it into the +main manual. + + <p>Here is the procedure for installing GCC on a GNU or Unix system. + + <ol type=1 start=1> +<li>If you have chosen a configuration for GCC which requires other GNU +tools (such as GAS or the GNU linker) instead of the standard system +tools, install the required tools in the build directory under the names +<samp><span class="file">as</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">ld</span></samp> or whatever is appropriate. + + <p>Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of the +<code>PATH</code> environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools come +before the standard system tools. + + <li>Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do this +when you run the <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> script. + + <p>The <dfn>build</dfn> machine is the system which you are using, the +<dfn>host</dfn> machine is the system where you want to run the resulting +compiler (normally the build machine), and the <dfn>target</dfn> machine is +the system for which you want the compiler to generate code. + + <p>If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs +on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify any operands +to <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp>; it will try to guess the type of machine you are on +and use that as the build, host and target machines. So you don't need +to specify a configuration when building a native compiler unless +<samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> cannot figure out what your configuration is or guesses +wrong. + + <p>In those cases, specify the build machine's <dfn>configuration name</dfn> +with the <samp><span class="option">--host</span></samp> option; the host and target will default to be +the same as the host machine. + + <p>Here is an example: + + <pre class="smallexample"> ./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1 +</pre> + <p>A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less +abbreviated. + + <p>A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by dashes. +It looks like this: ‘<samp><var>cpu</var><span class="samp">-</span><var>company</var><span class="samp">-</span><var>system</var></samp>’. +(The three parts may themselves contain dashes; <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> +can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.) For example, +‘<samp><span class="samp">m68k-sun-sunos4.1</span></samp>’ specifies a Sun 3. + + <p>You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases. +For example, ‘<samp><span class="samp">sun3</span></samp>’ stands for ‘<samp><span class="samp">m68k-sun</span></samp>’, so +‘<samp><span class="samp">sun3-sunos4.1</span></samp>’ is another way to specify a Sun 3. + + <p>You can specify a version number after any of the system types, and some +of the CPU types. In most cases, the version is irrelevant, and will be +ignored. So you might as well specify the version if you know it. + + <p>See <a href="#Configurations">Configurations</a>, for a list of supported configuration names and +notes on many of the configurations. You should check the notes in that +section before proceeding any further with the installation of GCC. + + </ol> + + <p><h2><a name="Configurations"></a>Configurations Supported by GCC</h2><a name="index-configurations-supported-by-GCC-1"></a> +Here are the possible CPU types: + + <blockquote> +<!-- gmicro, fx80, spur and tahoe omitted since they don't work. --> +1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, c<var>n</var>, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30, h8300, +hppa1.0, hppa1.1, i370, i386, i486, i586, i686, i786, i860, i960, ip2k, m32r, +m68000, m68k, m88k, mcore, mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el, +mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc, powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc, +sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax, we32k. +</blockquote> + + <p>Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary +abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names. + +<!-- What should be done about merlin, tek*, dolphin? --> + <blockquote> +acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull, +cbm, convergent, convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin, +elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi, hp, ibm, intergraph, isi, +mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron, plexus, +sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs. +</blockquote> + + <p>The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of +the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing +just ‘<samp><var>cpu</var><span class="samp">-</span><var>system</var></samp>’, if it is not needed. For example, +‘<samp><span class="samp">vax-ultrix4.2</span></samp>’ is equivalent to ‘<samp><span class="samp">vax-dec-ultrix4.2</span></samp>’. + + <p>Here is a list of system types: + + <blockquote> +386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff, ctix, cxux, +dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms, genix, gnu, linux, +linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna, lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs, +netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf, osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim, +solaris, sunos, sym, sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta, +vxworks, winnt, xenix. +</blockquote> + +<p class="noindent">You can omit the system type; then <samp><span class="file">configure</span></samp> guesses the +operating system from the CPU and company. + + <p>You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not +make a difference. For example, you can write ‘<samp><span class="samp">bsd4.3</span></samp>’ or +‘<samp><span class="samp">bsd4.4</span></samp>’ to distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version +number is most needed for ‘<samp><span class="samp">sysv3</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">sysv4</span></samp>’, which are often +treated differently. + + <p>‘<samp><span class="samp">linux-gnu</span></samp>’ is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however +GCC will also accept ‘<samp><span class="samp">linux</span></samp>’.

For example, it does not support weak +symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations +are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to +build many C++ applications. + + <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are +PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc +architecture specified for the target machine when configuring. +PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when +the target is a ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa1*</span></samp>’ machine. + + <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus, +it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when +configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro +TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different +default scheduling model is desired. + + <p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10 +through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later. +This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with +an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same +namespace is required for an entire build.

With HP cc, <samp><span class="env">UNIX_STD</span></samp> can be set to ‘<samp><span class="samp">95</span></samp>’ +or ‘<samp><span class="samp">98</span></samp>’.

Precompiled binaries must be obtained +to build the Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C. Ada is +only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime. + + <p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The +bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP's +unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC. + + <p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler, +but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to +build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code and +can't be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be +avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the +<samp><span class="option">--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"</span></samp> option in your configure +command. + + <p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution. +Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC +distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC +first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC. +There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it +is best not to start from a binary distribution. + + <p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different +installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on +the same system. The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates code +for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. +The ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target generates 64-bit code for the +PA-RISC 2.0 architecture. + + <p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler +detected during configuration. You must define <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp> or <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> so +that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap. +When <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used, the definition should contain the options that are +needed whenever <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> is used. + + <p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be +in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp> to correctly select the target for the build. It is also +convenient to place many other compiler options in <samp><span class="env">CC</span></samp>. For example, +<samp><span class="env">CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"</span></samp> +can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in +64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The <samp><span class="option">+DA2.0W</span></samp> option will result in +the automatic selection of the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target. The +macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful +build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to +be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the +<samp><span class="option">-Ac</span></samp> option. These defines aren't necessary with <samp><span class="option">-Ae</span></samp>. + + <p>It is best to explicitly configure the ‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target +with the <samp><span class="option">--with-ld=...</span></samp> option. This overrides the standard +search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different +commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a +result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build. +This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils +and GCC. + + <p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of +GCC 3.3 and later. <code>PHSS_26559</code> and <code>PHSS_24304</code> are the +oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX +11.00 and 11.11, respectively. <code>PHSS_24303</code>, the companion to +<code>PHSS_24304</code>, might be usable but it hasn't been tested. These +patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain +the currently recommended linker patch for your system. + + <p>The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the +32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak +symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior +to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols. +The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared +libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other +linking issues involving secondary symbols. + + <p>GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to +run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port +uses the linker <samp><span class="option">+init</span></samp> and <samp><span class="option">+fini</span></samp> options for the same +purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini +options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a +problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of +the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers. + + <p>Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the +‘<samp><span class="samp">hppa64-hp-hpux11*</span></samp>’ target, it is strongly recommended that the +HP linker be used for link editing on this target. + + <p>At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long +branch stubs. As a result, it can't successfully link binaries +containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition, +there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables +with <samp><span class="option">-static</span></samp>, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support. +It also doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions +in shared libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded. + + <p>The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol +versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol +versioning with <samp><span class="option">--disable-symvers</span></samp> when using GNU ld. + + <p>POSIX threads are the default.

See the +<a href="binaries.html">binaries page</a> for details. + + <p>The Solaris 2 <samp><span class="command">/bin/sh</span></samp> will often fail to configure +‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++-v3</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">boehm-gc</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">libjava</span></samp>’. We therefore +recommend using the following initial sequence of commands + +<pre class="smallexample"> % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh + % export CONFIG_SHELL +</pre> + <p class="noindent">and proceed as described in <a href="configure.html">the configure instructions</a>. +In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke +<samp><var>srcdir</var><span class="command">/configure</span></samp>. + + <p>Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these +are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>, +<code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>, +<code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>. If you did not install all +optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need to verify that +the packages that GCC needs are installed. + + <p>To check whether an optional package is installed, use +the <samp><span class="command">pkginfo</span></samp> command. To add an optional package, use the +<samp><span class="command">pkgadd</span></samp> command. For further details, see the Solaris 2 +documentation. + + <p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in +<samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble. +For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove +<samp><span class="file">/usr/ucb</span></samp> from your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>. + + <p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you +have <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> in your <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>, we recommend that you place +<samp><span class="file">/usr/bin</span></samp> before <samp><span class="file">/usr/xpg4/bin</span></samp> for the duration of the build. + + <p>We recommend the use of the Sun assembler or the GNU assembler, in +conjunction with the Sun linker. The GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> +versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils 2.15, and Solaris 11, +from GNU binutils 2.19, are known to work. They can be found in +<samp><span class="file">/usr/sfw/bin/gas</span></samp>. Current versions of GNU binutils (2.22) +are known to work as well. Note that your mileage may vary +if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the +combination GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> should reasonably work, +the reverse combination Sun <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> + GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> may fail to +build or cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs. +<!-- FIXME: still? --> +GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> usually works as well, although the version included in +Solaris 10 cannot be used due to several bugs. Again, the current +version (2.22) is known to work, but generally lacks platform specific +features, so better stay with Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>. To use the LTO linker +plugin (<samp><span class="option">-fuse-linker-plugin</span></samp>) with GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>, GNU +binutils <em>must</em> be configured with <samp><span class="option">--enable-largefile</span></samp>. + + <p>To enable symbol versioning in ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ with Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp>, +you need to have any version of GNU <samp><span class="command">c++filt</span></samp>, which is part of +GNU binutils. ‘<samp><span class="samp">libstdc++</span></samp>’ symbol versioning will be disabled if no +appropriate version is found. Sun <samp><span class="command">c++filt</span></samp> from the Sun Studio +compilers does <em>not</em> work. + + <p>Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or +newer: <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> will complain that types are missing. These headers +assume that omitting the type means <code>int</code>; this assumption worked for +C90 but is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also. + + <p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures +related to missing diagnostic output. This bug doesn't affect GCC +itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> +program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug +causes the <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> program to miss anticipated output, extra +testsuite failures appear. + + <p>There are patches for Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for +SPARC, 117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem. + + <p>Thread-local storage (TLS) is supported in Solaris 9, but requires +some patches. The ‘<samp><span class="samp">libthread</span></samp>’ patches provide the +<code>__tls_get_addr</code> (SPARC, 64-bit x86) resp. <code>___tls_get_addr</code> +(32-bit x86) functions. On Solaris 9, the necessary support +on SPARC is present since FCS, while 114432-05 or newer is required on +Intel. Additionally, on Solaris 9/x86, patch 113986-02 or newer is +required for the Sun <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> and runtime linker (<samp><span class="command">ld.so.1</span></samp>) +support, while Solaris 9/SPARC works since FCS. The linker +patches must be installed even if GNU <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> is used. Sun +<samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> in Solaris 9 doesn't support the necessary +relocations, so GNU <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> must be used. The <samp><span class="command">configure</span></samp> +script checks for those prerequisites and automatically enables TLS +support if they are met. Although those minimal patch versions should +work, it is recommended to use the latest patch versions which include +additional bug fixes. + + <p><hr /> + +<h3 class="heading"><a name="TOC51"></a><a name="sparc_002dx_002dx"></a>sparc*-*-*</h3> + +<p>This section contains general configuration information for all +SPARC-based platforms.

This includes +<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/">DejaGnu</a>, Tcl, and Expect; +the DejaGnu site has links to these. + + <p>If the directories where <samp><span class="command">runtest</span></samp> and <samp><span class="command">expect</span></samp> were +installed are not in the <samp><span class="env">PATH</span></samp>, you may need to set the following +environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which +assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under <samp><span class="file">/usr/local</span></samp>): + +<pre class="smallexample"> TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 + DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu +</pre> + <p>(On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual +paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of +portability in the DejaGnu code.) + + <p>Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time): +<pre class="smallexample"> cd <var>objdir</var>; make -k check +</pre> + <p>This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler +front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu +might emit some harmless messages resembling +‘<samp><span class="samp">WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.</span></samp>’ or +‘<samp><span class="samp">WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file</span></samp>’ that can be ignored. + + <p>If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the testsuite +on a simulator as described at <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html</a>. + +<h3 class="section"><a name="TOC0"></a>How can you run the testsuite on selected tests?</h3> + +<p>In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets +‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-gcc</span></samp>’ and language specific ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-c</span></samp>’, +‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-c++</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-fortran</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-java</span></samp>’, +‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-ada</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-objc</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-obj-c++</span></samp>’, +‘<samp><span class="samp">make check-lto</span></samp>’ +in the <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> subdirectory of the object directory.

For example, + +<pre class="smallexample"> make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants" +</pre> + <p>will run the standard <samp><span class="command">g++</span></samp> testsuites (“unix” is the target name +for a standard native testsuite situation), passing +‘<samp><span class="samp">-O3 -fmerge-constants</span></samp>’ to the compiler on every test, i.e., +slashes separate options. + + <p>You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of options +with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells: + +<pre class="smallexample"> ..."--target_board=arm-sim\{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\}\{-O1,-O2,-O3,\}" +</pre> + <p>(Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final group.) +The following will run each testsuite eight times using the ‘<samp><span class="samp">arm-sim</span></samp>’ +target, as if you had specified all possible combinations yourself: + +<pre class="smallexample"> --target_board='arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 \ + arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 \ + arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 \ + arm-sim/-mhard-float \ + arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 \ + arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 \ + arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 \ + arm-sim/-msoft-float' +</pre> + <p>They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. This +list: + +<pre class="smallexample"> ..."--target_board=unix/-Wextra\{-O3,-fno-strength\}\{-fomit-frame,\}" +</pre> + <p>will generate four combinations, all involving ‘<samp><span class="samp">-Wextra</span></samp>’. + + <p>The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in serial, +which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU Make and +a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in +parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and <samp><span class="command">make</span></samp> +do the parallel runs. Instead of using ‘<samp><span class="samp">--target_board</span></samp>’, use a +special makefile target: + +<pre class="smallexample"> make -j<var>N</var> check-<var>testsuite</var>//<var>test-target</var>/<var>option1</var>/<var>option2</var>/... +</pre> + <p>For example, + +<pre class="smallexample"> make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4}/{,-nofpu} +</pre> + <p>will run three concurrent “make-gcc” testsuites, eventually testing all +ten combinations as described above.
