-1 Installing GCC
-****************
-
-The latest version of this document is always available at
-http://gcc.gnu.org/install/. It refers to the current development
-sources, instructions for specific released versions are included with
-the sources.
-
- This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as
-well as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
-
- GCC includes several components that previously were separate
-distributions with their own installation instructions. This document
-supersedes all package-specific installation instructions.
-
- _Before_ starting the build/install procedure please check the *note
-host/target specific installation notes: Specific. We recommend you
-browse the entire generic installation instructions before you proceed.
-
- Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are available
-at <http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html>. These lists are updated as new
-information becomes available.
-
- The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps.
-
-* Menu:
-
-* Prerequisites::
-* Downloading the source::
-* Configuration::
-* Building::
-* Testing:: (optional)
-* Final install::
-
- Please note that GCC does not support 'make uninstall' and probably
-won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms.
-Instead, we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and
-simply remove that directory when you do not need that specific version
-of GCC any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there as well,
-no more binaries exist that use them.

-2 Prerequisites
-***************
-
-GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in the
-build procedure. Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools
-described below.
-
-Tools/packages necessary for building GCC
-=========================================
-
-ISO C++98 compiler
- Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior to 4.8
- also allow bootstrapping with a ISO C89 compiler and versions of
- GCC prior to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R)
- C compiler.
-
- To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration
- where 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an
- existing GCC binary (version 3.4 or later) because source code for
- language frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
-
- Note that to bootstrap GCC with versions of GCC earlier than 3.4,
- you may need to use '--disable-stage1-checking', though
- bootstrapping the compiler with such earlier compilers is strongly
- discouraged.
-
-C standard library and headers
-
- In order to build GCC, the C standard library and headers must be
- present for all target variants for which target libraries will be
- built (and not only the variant of the host C++ compiler).
-
- This affects the popular 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' platform (among
- other multilib targets), for which 64-bit ('x86_64') and 32-bit
- ('i386') libc headers are usually packaged separately. If you do a
- build of a native compiler on 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu', make sure
- you either have the 32-bit libc developer package properly
- installed (the exact name of the package depends on your distro) or
- you must build GCC as a 64-bit only compiler by configuring with
- the option '--disable-multilib'. Otherwise, you may encounter an
- error such as 'fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file'
-
-GNAT
-
- In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have
- GNAT installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in
- Ada (with GNAT extensions.) Refer to the Ada installation
- instructions for more specific information.
-
-A "working" POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash
-
- Necessary when running 'configure' because some '/bin/sh' shells
- have bugs and may crash when configuring the target libraries. In
- other cases, '/bin/sh' or 'ksh' have disastrous corner-case
- performance problems. This can cause target 'configure' runs to
- literally take days to complete in some cases.
-
- So on some platforms '/bin/ksh' is sufficient, on others it isn't.
- See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or use
- 'bash' to be sure. Then set 'CONFIG_SHELL' in your environment to
- your "good" shell prior to running 'configure'/'make'.
-
- 'zsh' is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not work when
- configuring GCC.
-
-A POSIX or SVR4 awk
-
- Necessary for creating some of the generated source files for GCC.
- If in doubt, use a recent GNU awk version, as some of the older
- ones are broken. GNU awk version 3.1.5 is known to work.
-
-GNU binutils
-
- Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See the
- host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact
- requirements.
-
-gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or
-bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later)
-
- Necessary to uncompress GCC 'tar' files when source code is
- obtained via FTP mirror sites.
-
-GNU make version 3.80 (or later)
-
- You must have GNU make installed to build GCC.
-
-GNU tar version 1.14 (or later)
-
- Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code. Many
- systems' 'tar' programs will also work, only try GNU 'tar' if you
- have problems.
-
-Perl version 5.6.1 (or later)
-
- Necessary when targeting Darwin, building 'libstdc++', and not
- using '--disable-symvers'. Necessary when targeting Solaris 2 with
- Sun 'ld' and not using '--disable-symvers'. The bundled 'perl' in
- Solaris 8 and up works.
-
- Necessary when regenerating 'Makefile' dependencies in libiberty.
- Necessary when regenerating 'libiberty/functions.texi'. Necessary
- when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals. Used by various
- scripts to generate some files included in SVN (mainly
- Unicode-related and rarely changing) from source tables.
-
-'jar', or InfoZIP ('zip' and 'unzip')
-
- Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime.
-
- Several support libraries are necessary to build GCC, some are
-required, others optional. While any sufficiently new version of
-required tools usually work, library requirements are generally
-stricter. Newer versions may work in some cases, but it's safer to use
-the exact versions documented. We appreciate bug reports about problems
-with newer versions, though. If your OS vendor provides packages for
-the support libraries then using those packages may be the simplest way
-to install the libraries.
-
-GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.3.2 (or later)
-
- Necessary to build GCC. If a GMP source distribution is found in a
- subdirectory of your GCC sources named 'gmp', it will be built
- together with GCC. Alternatively, if GMP is already installed but
- it is not in your library search path, you will have to configure
- with the '--with-gmp' configure option. See also '--with-gmp-lib'
- and '--with-gmp-include'.
-
-MPFR Library version 2.4.2 (or later)
-
- Necessary to build GCC. It can be downloaded from
- <http://www.mpfr.org/>. If an MPFR source distribution is found in
- a subdirectory of your GCC sources named 'mpfr', it will be built
- together with GCC. Alternatively, if MPFR is already installed but
- it is not in your default library search path, the '--with-mpfr'
- configure option should be used. See also '--with-mpfr-lib' and
- '--with-mpfr-include'.
-
-MPC Library version 0.8.1 (or later)
-
- Necessary to build GCC. It can be downloaded from
- <http://www.multiprecision.org/>. If an MPC source distribution is
- found in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named 'mpc', it will be
- built together with GCC. Alternatively, if MPC is already installed
- but it is not in your default library search path, the '--with-mpc'
- configure option should be used. See also '--with-mpc-lib' and
- '--with-mpc-include'.
-
-ISL Library version 0.12.2
-
- Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. It
- can be downloaded from <ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/>
- as 'isl-0.12.2.tar.bz2'. If an ISL source distribution is found in
- a subdirectory of your GCC sources named 'isl', it will be built
- together with GCC. Alternatively, the '--with-isl' configure option
- should be used if ISL is not installed in your default library
- search path.
-
-CLooG 0.18.1
-
- Necessary to build GCC with the Graphite loop optimizations. It
- can be downloaded from <ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/>
- as 'cloog-0.18.1.tar.gz'. If a CLooG source distribution is found
- in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named 'cloog', it will be
- built together with GCC. Alternatively, the '--with-cloog'
- configure option should be used if CLooG is not installed in your
- default library search path.
-
- If you want to install CLooG separately it needs to be built
- against ISL 0.12.2 by using the '--with-isl=system' to direct CLooG
- to pick up an already installed ISL. Using the ISL library as
- bundled with CLooG is not supported.
-
-Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC
-==========================================
-
-autoconf version 2.64
-GNU m4 version 1.4.6 (or later)
-
- Necessary when modifying 'configure.ac', 'aclocal.m4', etc. to
- regenerate 'configure' and 'config.in' files.
-
-automake version 1.11.1
-
- Necessary when modifying a 'Makefile.am' file to regenerate its
- associated 'Makefile.in'.
-
- Much of GCC does not use automake, so directly edit the
- 'Makefile.in' file. Specifically this applies to the 'gcc',
- 'intl', 'libcpp', 'libiberty', 'libobjc' directories as well as any
- of their subdirectories.
-
- For directories that use automake, GCC requires the latest release
- in the 1.11 series, which is currently 1.11.1. When regenerating a
- directory to a newer version, please update all the directories
- using an older 1.11 to the latest released version.
-
-gettext version 0.14.5 (or later)
-
- Needed to regenerate 'gcc.pot'.
-
-gperf version 2.7.2 (or later)
-
- Necessary when modifying 'gperf' input files, e.g.
- 'gcc/cp/cfns.gperf' to regenerate its associated header file, e.g.
- 'gcc/cp/cfns.h'.
-
-DejaGnu 1.4.4
-Expect
-Tcl
-
- Necessary to run the GCC testsuite; see the section on testing for
- details. Tcl 8.6 has a known regression in RE pattern handling
- that make parts of the testsuite fail. See
- <http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/267b7e2334ee2e9de34c4b00d6e72e2f1997085f>
- for more information.
-
-autogen version 5.5.4 (or later) and
-guile version 1.4.1 (or later)
-
- Necessary to regenerate 'fixinc/fixincl.x' from
- 'fixinc/inclhack.def' and 'fixinc/*.tpl'.
-
- Necessary to run 'make check' for 'fixinc'.
-
- Necessary to regenerate the top level 'Makefile.in' file from
- 'Makefile.tpl' and 'Makefile.def'.
-
-Flex version 2.5.4 (or later)
-
- Necessary when modifying '*.l' files.
-
- Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated
- output files are not included in the SVN repository. They are
- included in releases.
-
-Texinfo version 4.7 (or later)
-
- Necessary for running 'makeinfo' when modifying '*.texi' files to
- test your changes.
-
- Necessary for running 'make dvi' or 'make pdf' to create printable
- documentation in DVI or PDF format. Texinfo version 4.8 or later
- is required for 'make pdf'.
-
- Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the
- generated output files are not included in the SVN repository.
- They are included in releases.
-
-TeX (any working version)
-
- Necessary for running 'texi2dvi' and 'texi2pdf', which are used
- when running 'make dvi' or 'make pdf' to create DVI or PDF files,
- respectively.
-
-SVN (any version)
-SSH (any version)
-
- Necessary to access the SVN repository. Public releases and weekly
- snapshots of the development sources are also available via FTP.
-
-GNU diffutils version 2.7 (or later)
-
- Useful when submitting patches for the GCC source code.
-
-patch version 2.5.4 (or later)
-
- Necessary when applying patches, created with 'diff', to one's own
- sources.
-
-ecj1
-gjavah
-
- If you wish to modify '.java' files in libjava, you will need to
- configure with '--enable-java-maintainer-mode', and you will need
- to have executables named 'ecj1' and 'gjavah' in your path. The
- 'ecj1' executable should run the Eclipse Java compiler via the
- GCC-specific entry point. You can download a suitable jar from
- <ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/>, or by running the script
- 'contrib/download_ecj'.
-
-antlr.jar version 2.7.1 (or later)
-antlr binary
-
- If you wish to build the 'gjdoc' binary in libjava, you will need
- to have an 'antlr.jar' library available. The library is searched
- for in system locations but can be specified with
- '--with-antlr-jar=' instead. When configuring with
- '--enable-java-maintainer-mode', you will need to have one of the
- executables named 'cantlr', 'runantlr' or 'antlr' in your path.

-
-3 Downloading GCC
-*****************
-
-GCC is distributed via SVN and FTP tarballs compressed with 'gzip' or
-'bzip2'.
-
- Please refer to the releases web page for information on how to
-obtain GCC.
-
- The source distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran,
-Java, and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as
-runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Java. For previous
-versions these were downloadable as separate components such as the core
-GCC distribution, which included the C language front end and shared
-components, and language-specific distributions including the language
-front end and the language runtime (where appropriate).
-
- If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
-installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your OS),
-unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or a
-separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any components
-of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler ('bfd',
-'binutils', 'gas', 'gprof', 'ld', 'opcodes', ...) to the directory
-containing the GCC sources.
-
- Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
-together with GCC. Unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source distributions
-in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename their directories
-to 'gmp', 'mpfr' and 'mpc', respectively (or use symbolic links with the
-same name).

-
-4 Installing GCC: Configuration
-*******************************
-
-Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built.
-This document describes the recommended configuration procedure for both
-native and cross targets.
-
- We use SRCDIR to refer to the toplevel source directory for GCC; we
-use OBJDIR to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.
-
- If you obtained the sources via SVN, SRCDIR must refer to the top
-'gcc' directory, the one where the 'MAINTAINERS' file can be found, and
-not its 'gcc' subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.
-
- If either SRCDIR or OBJDIR is located on an automounted NFS file
-system, the shell's built-in 'pwd' command will return temporary
-pathnames. Using these can lead to various sorts of build problems. To
-avoid this issue, set the 'PWDCMD' environment variable to an
-automounter-aware 'pwd' command, e.g., 'pawd' or 'amq -w', during the
-configuration and build phases.
-
- First, we *highly* recommend that GCC be built into a separate
-directory from the sources which does *not* reside within the source
-tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where SRCDIR ==
-OBJDIR should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building
-where OBJDIR is a subdirectory of SRCDIR is unsupported.
-
- If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
-different target machine, do 'make distclean' to delete all files that
-might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is 'Makefile'; if 'make
-distclean' complains that 'Makefile' 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 OBJDIR, you should simply use a
-different OBJDIR for each target.
-
- Second, when configuring a native system, either 'cc' or 'gcc' must
-be in your path or you must set 'CC' in your environment before running
-configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.
-
- To configure GCC:
-
- % mkdir OBJDIR
- % cd OBJDIR
- % SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
-
-Distributor options
-===================
-
-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.
-
-'--with-pkgversion=VERSION'
- Specify a string that identifies your package. You may wish to
- include a build number or build date. This version string will be
- included in the output of 'gcc --version'. This suffix does not
- replace the default version string, only the 'GCC' part.
-
- The default value is 'GCC'.
-
-'--with-bugurl=URL'
- Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a
- bug. You are of course welcome to forward bugs reported to you to
- the FSF, if you determine that they are not bugs in your
- modifications.
-
- The default value refers to the FSF's GCC bug tracker.
-
-Target specification
-====================
-
- * GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for TARGET
- for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you
- do not provide a configure target when configuring a native
- compiler.
-
- * TARGET must be specified as '--target=TARGET' when configuring a
- cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be m68k-elf,
- sh-elf, etc.
-
- * Specifying just TARGET instead of '--target=TARGET' implies that
- the host defaults to TARGET.
-
-Options specification
-=====================
-
-Use OPTIONS to override several configure time options for GCC. A list
-of supported OPTIONS follows; 'configure --help' may list other options,
-but those not listed below may not work and should not normally be used.
-
- Note that each '--enable' option has a corresponding '--disable'
-option and that each '--with' option has a corresponding '--without'
-option.
-
-'--prefix=DIRNAME'
- Specify the toplevel installation directory. This is the
- recommended way to install the tools into a directory other than
- the default. The toplevel installation directory defaults to
- '/usr/local'.
-
- We *highly* recommend against DIRNAME being the same or a
- subdirectory of OBJDIR or vice versa. If specifying a directory
- beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand
- DIRNAME correctly if it contains the '~' metacharacter; use '$HOME'
- instead.
-
- The following standard 'autoconf' options are supported. Normally
- you should not need to use these options.
- '--exec-prefix=DIRNAME'
- Specify the toplevel installation directory for
- architecture-dependent files. The default is 'PREFIX'.
-
- '--bindir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for the executables called
- by users (such as 'gcc' and 'g++'). The default is
- 'EXEC-PREFIX/bin'.
-
- '--libdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for object code libraries
- and internal data files of GCC. The default is
- 'EXEC-PREFIX/lib'.
-
- '--libexecdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for internal executables of
- GCC. The default is 'EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'.
-
- '--with-slibdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc
- library. The default is 'LIBDIR'.
-
- '--datarootdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the root of the directory tree for read-only
- architecture-independent data files referenced by GCC. The
- default is 'PREFIX/share'.
-
- '--infodir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for documentation in info
- format. The default is 'DATAROOTDIR/info'.
-
- '--datadir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for some
- architecture-independent data files referenced by GCC. The
- default is 'DATAROOTDIR'.
-
- '--docdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for documentation files
- (other than Info) for GCC. The default is 'DATAROOTDIR/doc'.
-
- '--htmldir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for HTML documentation
- files. The default is 'DOCDIR'.
-
- '--pdfdir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for PDF documentation
- files. The default is 'DOCDIR'.
-
- '--mandir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for manual pages. The
- default is 'DATAROOTDIR/man'. (Note that the manual pages are
- only extracts from the full GCC manuals, which are provided in
- Texinfo format. The manpages are derived by an automatic
- conversion process from parts of the full manual.)
-
- '--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for G++ header files. The
- default depends on other configuration options, and differs
- between cross and native configurations.
-
- '--with-specs=SPECS'
- Specify additional command line driver SPECS. This can be
- useful if you need to turn on a non-standard feature by
- default without modifying the compiler's source code, for
- instance
- '--with-specs=%{!fcommon:%{!fno-common:-fno-common}}'. *Note
- Specifying subprocesses and the switches to pass to them:
- (gcc)Spec Files,
-
-'--program-prefix=PREFIX'
- GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
- installing them. This option prepends PREFIX to the names of
- programs to install in BINDIR (see above). For example, specifying
- '--program-prefix=foo-' would result in 'gcc' being installed as
- '/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc'.
-
-'--program-suffix=SUFFIX'
- Appends SUFFIX to the names of programs to install in BINDIR (see
- above). For example, specifying '--program-suffix=-3.1' would
- result in 'gcc' being installed as '/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1'.
-
-'--program-transform-name=PATTERN'
- Applies the 'sed' script PATTERN to be applied to the names of
- programs to install in BINDIR (see above). PATTERN has to consist
- of one or more basic 'sed' editing commands, separated by
- semicolons. For example, if you want the 'gcc' program name to be
- transformed to the installed program '/usr/local/bin/myowngcc' and
- the 'g++' program name to be transformed to
- '/usr/local/bin/gspecial++' without changing other program names,
- you could use the pattern
- '--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/''
- to achieve this effect.
-
- All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in
- more complex conversion patterns. As a basic rule, PREFIX (and
- SUFFIX) are prepended (appended) before further transformations can
- happen with a special transformation script PATTERN.
-
- 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.
-
- For native builds, some of the installed programs are also
- installed with the target alias in front of their name, as in
- 'i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc'. All of the above transformations happen
- before the target alias is prepended to the name--so, specifying
- '--program-prefix=foo-' and 'program-suffix=-3.1', the resulting
- binary would be installed as
- '/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1'.
-
- As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
- transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
-
-'--with-local-prefix=DIRNAME'
- Specify the installation directory for local include files. The
- default is '/usr/local'. Specify this option if you want the
- compiler to search directory 'DIRNAME/include' for locally
- installed header files _instead_ of '/usr/local/include'.
-
- You should specify '--with-local-prefix' *only* if your site has a
- different convention (not '/usr/local') for where to put
- site-specific files.
-
- The default value for '--with-local-prefix' is '/usr/local'
- regardless of the value of '--prefix'. Specifying '--prefix' has
- no effect on which directory GCC searches for local header files.
- This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is logical.
-
- The purpose of '--prefix' is to specify where to _install GCC_. The
- local header files in '/usr/local/include'--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 '--prefix' value.)
-
- 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.
-
- Some autoconf macros add '-I DIRECTORY' options to the compiler
- command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
- packages' headers are searched. When DIRECTORY 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.
-
- GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
- 'GCC_EXEC_PREFIX'. 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 '/usr'.
-
- Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
- use the above simple configuration. It is possible to use the
- '--program-prefix', '--program-suffix' and
- '--program-transform-name' options to install multiple versions
- into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different
- prefixes and the '--with-local-prefix' 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 'LIBRARY_PATH').
-
- The same value can be used for both '--with-local-prefix' and
- '--prefix' provided it is not '/usr'. This can be used to avoid
- the default search of '/usr/local/include'.
-
- *Do not* specify '/usr' as the '--with-local-prefix'! The
- directory you use for '--with-local-prefix' *must not* 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 'fixincludes' script.
-
- 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.
-
-'--with-native-system-header-dir=DIRNAME'
- Specifies that DIRNAME is the directory that contains native system
- header files, rather than '/usr/include'. 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
- '--with-sysroot' option and will cause GCC to search DIRNAME inside
- the system root specified by that option.
-
-'--enable-shared[=PACKAGE[,...]]'
- Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are
- supported on the target platform. Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier,
- shared libraries are enabled by default on all platforms that
- support shared libraries.
-
- If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared
- libraries only for the listed packages. For other packages, only
- static libraries will be built. Package names currently recognized
- in the GCC tree are 'libgcc' (also known as 'gcc'), 'libstdc++'
- (not 'libstdc++-v3'), 'libffi', 'zlib', 'boehm-gc', 'ada',
- 'libada', 'libjava', 'libgo', and 'libobjc'. Note 'libiberty' does
- not support shared libraries at all.
-
- Use '--disable-shared' to build only static libraries. Note that
- '--disable-shared' does not accept a list of package names as
- argument, only '--enable-shared' does.
-
- Contrast with '--enable-host-shared', which affects _host_ code.
-
-'--enable-host-shared'
- Specify that the _host_ code should be built into
- position-independent machine code (with -fPIC), allowing it to be
- used within shared libraries, but yielding a slightly slower
- compiler.
-
- Currently this option is only of use to people developing GCC
- itself.
-
- Contrast with '--enable-shared', which affects _target_ libraries.
-
-'--with-gnu-as'
- Specify that the compiler should assume that the assembler it finds
- is the GNU assembler. However, this does not modify the rules to
- find an assembler and will result in confusion if the assembler
- found is not actually the GNU assembler. (Confusion may also
- result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not been
- configured with '--with-gnu-as'.) If you have more than one
- assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this option
- in connection with '--with-as=PATHNAME' or
- '--with-build-time-tools=PATHNAME'.
-
- The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference
- whether you use the GNU assembler. On any other system,
- '--with-gnu-as' has no effect.
-
- * 'hppa1.0-ANY-ANY'
- * 'hppa1.1-ANY-ANY'
- * 'sparc-sun-solaris2.ANY'
- * 'sparc64-ANY-solaris2.ANY'
-
-'--with-as=PATHNAME'
- Specify that the compiler should use the assembler pointed to by
- PATHNAME, rather than the one found by the standard rules to find
- an assembler, which are:
- * Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the
- 'LIBEXEC/gcc/TARGET/VERSION' directory. LIBEXEC defaults to
- 'EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'; EXEC-PREFIX defaults to PREFIX, which
- defaults to '/usr/local' unless overridden by the
- '--prefix=PATHNAME' switch described above. TARGET is the
- target system triple, such as 'sparc-sun-solaris2.7', and
- VERSION denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0.
-
- * If the target system is the same that you are building on,
- check operating system specific directories (e.g.
- '/usr/ccs/bin' on Sun Solaris 2).
-
- * Check in the 'PATH' for a tool whose name is prefixed by the
- target system triple.
-
- * Check in the 'PATH' for a tool whose name is not prefixed by
- the target system triple, if the host and target system triple
- are the same (in other words, we use a host tool if it can be
- used for the target as well).
-
- You may want to use '--with-as' if no assembler is installed in the
- directories listed above, or if you have multiple assemblers
- installed and want to choose one that is not found by the above
- rules.
-
-'--with-gnu-ld'
- Same as '--with-gnu-as' but for the linker.
-
-'--with-ld=PATHNAME'
- Same as '--with-as' but for the linker.
-
-'--with-stabs'
- Specify that stabs debugging information should be used instead of
- whatever format the host normally uses. Normally GCC uses the same
- debug format as the host system.
-
- On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you
- want GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use
- BSD-style stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table. The normal
- ECOFF debug format cannot fully handle languages other than C. BSD
- stabs format can handle other languages, but it only works with the
- GNU debugger GDB.
-
- Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
- prefer BSD stabs, specify '--with-stabs' when you configure GCC.
-
- No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user
- can use the '-gcoff' and '-gstabs+' options to specify explicitly
- the debug format for a particular compilation.
-
- '--with-stabs' is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
- '--with-gas' is used. It selects use of stabs debugging
- information embedded in COFF output. This kind of debugging
- information supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information
- does not.
-
- '--with-stabs' is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4. It
- selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output.
- The C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF
- debugging information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs
- provide a workable alternative. This requires gas and gdb, as the
- normal SVR4 tools can not generate or interpret stabs.
-
-'--with-tls=DIALECT'
- Specify the default TLS dialect, for systems were there is a
- choice. For ARM targets, possible values for DIALECT are 'gnu' or
- 'gnu2', which select between the original GNU dialect and the GNU
- TLS descriptor-based dialect.
-
-'--enable-multiarch'
- Specify whether to enable or disable multiarch support. The
- default is to check for glibc start files in a multiarch location,
- and enable it if the files are found. The auto detection is
- enabled for native builds, and for cross builds configured with
- '--with-sysroot', and without '--with-native-system-header-dir'.
- More documentation about multiarch can be found at
- <http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch>.
-
-'--enable-vtable-verify'
- Specify whether to enable or disable the vtable verification
- feature. Enabling this feature causes libstdc++ to be built with
- its virtual calls in verifiable mode. This means that, when linked
- with libvtv, every virtual call in libstdc++ will verify the vtable
- pointer through which the call will be made before actually making
- the call. If not linked with libvtv, the verifier will call stub
- functions (in libstdc++ itself) and do nothing. If vtable
- verification is disabled, then libstdc++ is not built with its
- virtual calls in verifiable mode at all. However the libvtv
- library will still be built (see '--disable-libvtv' to turn off
- building libvtv). '--disable-vtable-verify' is the default.
-
-'--disable-multilib'
- Specify that multiple target libraries to support different target
- variants, calling conventions, etc. should not be built. The
- default is to build a predefined set of them.
-
- Some targets provide finer-grained control over which multilibs are
- built (e.g., '--disable-softfloat'):
- 'arm-*-*'
- fpu, 26bit, underscore, interwork, biendian, nofmult.
-
- 'm68*-*-*'
- softfloat, m68881, m68000, m68020.
-
- 'mips*-*-*'
- single-float, biendian, softfloat.
-
- 'powerpc*-*-*, rs6000*-*-*'
- aix64, pthread, softfloat, powercpu, powerpccpu, powerpcos,
- biendian, sysv, aix.
-
-'--with-multilib-list=LIST'
-'--without-multilib-list'
- Specify what multilibs to build. Currently only implemented for
- sh*-*-* and x86-64-*-linux*.
-
- 'sh*-*-*'
- LIST is a comma separated list of CPU names. These must be of
- the form 'sh*' or 'm*' (in which case they match the compiler
- option for that processor). The list should not contain any
- endian options - these are handled by '--with-endian'.
-
- If LIST is empty, then there will be no multilibs for extra
- processors. The multilib for the secondary endian remains
- enabled.
-
- As a special case, if an entry in the list starts with a '!'
- (exclamation point), then it is added to the list of excluded
- multilibs. Entries of this sort should be compatible with
- 'MULTILIB_EXCLUDES' (once the leading '!' has been stripped).
-
- If '--with-multilib-list' is not given, then a default set of
- multilibs is selected based on the value of '--target'. This
- is usually the complete set of libraries, but some targets
- imply a more specialized subset.
-
- Example 1: to configure a compiler for SH4A only, but
- supporting both endians, with little endian being the default:
- --with-cpu=sh4a --with-endian=little,big --with-multilib-list=
-
- Example 2: to configure a compiler for both SH4A and
- SH4AL-DSP, but with only little endian SH4AL:
- --with-cpu=sh4a --with-endian=little,big \
- --with-multilib-list=sh4al,!mb/m4al
-
- 'x86-64-*-linux*'
- LIST is a comma separated list of 'm32', 'm64' and 'mx32' to
- enable 32-bit, 64-bit and x32 run-time libraries,
- respectively. If LIST is empty, then there will be no
- multilibs and only the default run-time library will be
- enabled.
-
- If '--with-multilib-list' is not given, then only 32-bit and
- 64-bit run-time libraries will be enabled.
-
-'--with-endian=ENDIANS'
- Specify what endians to use. Currently only implemented for
- sh*-*-*.
-
- ENDIANS may be one of the following:
- 'big'
- Use big endian exclusively.
- 'little'
- Use little endian exclusively.
- 'big,little'
- Use big endian by default. Provide a multilib for little
- endian.
- 'little,big'
- Use little endian by default. Provide a multilib for big
- endian.
-
-'--enable-threads'
- Specify that the target supports threads. This affects the
- Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling
- for other languages like C++ and Java. On some systems, this is
- the default.
-
- In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading
- model available will be configured for use. Beware that on some
- systems, GCC has not been taught what threading models are
- generally available for the system. In this case,
- '--enable-threads' is an alias for '--enable-threads=single'.
-
-'--disable-threads'
- Specify that threading support should be disabled for the system.
- This is an alias for '--enable-threads=single'.
-
-'--enable-threads=LIB'
- Specify that LIB is the thread support library. This affects the
- Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling
- for other languages like C++ and Java. The possibilities for LIB
- are:
-
- 'aix'
- AIX thread support.
- 'dce'
- DCE thread support.
- 'lynx'
- LynxOS thread support.
- 'mipssde'
- MIPS SDE thread support.
- 'no'
- This is an alias for 'single'.
- 'posix'
- Generic POSIX/Unix98 thread support.
- 'rtems'
- RTEMS thread support.
- 'single'
- Disable thread support, should work for all platforms.
- 'tpf'
- TPF thread support.
- 'vxworks'
- VxWorks thread support.
- 'win32'
- Microsoft Win32 API thread support.
-
-'--enable-tls'
- Specify that the target supports TLS (Thread Local Storage).
- Usually configure can correctly determine if TLS is supported. In
- cases where it guesses incorrectly, TLS can be explicitly enabled
- or disabled with '--enable-tls' or '--disable-tls'. This can
- happen if the assembler supports TLS but the C library does not, or
- if the assumptions made by the configure test are incorrect.
-
-'--disable-tls'
- Specify that the target does not support TLS. This is an alias for
- '--enable-tls=no'.
-
-'--with-cpu=CPU'
-'--with-cpu-32=CPU'
-'--with-cpu-64=CPU'
- Specify which cpu variant the compiler should generate code for by
- default. CPU will be used as the default value of the '-mcpu='
- switch. This option is only supported on some targets, including
- ARC, ARM, i386, M68k, PowerPC, and SPARC. It is mandatory for ARC.
- The '--with-cpu-32' and '--with-cpu-64' options specify separate
- default CPUs for 32-bit and 64-bit modes; these options are only
- supported for i386, x86-64 and PowerPC.
-
-'--with-schedule=CPU'
-'--with-arch=CPU'
-'--with-arch-32=CPU'
-'--with-arch-64=CPU'
-'--with-tune=CPU'
-'--with-tune-32=CPU'
-'--with-tune-64=CPU'
-'--with-abi=ABI'
-'--with-fpu=TYPE'
-'--with-float=TYPE'
- These configure options provide default values for the
- '-mschedule=', '-march=', '-mtune=', '-mabi=', and '-mfpu=' options
- and for '-mhard-float' or '-msoft-float'. As with '--with-cpu',
- which switches will be accepted and acceptable values of the
- arguments depend on the target.
-
-'--with-mode=MODE'
- Specify if the compiler should default to '-marm' or '-mthumb'.
- This option is only supported on ARM targets.
-
-'--with-stack-offset=NUM'
- This option sets the default for the -mstack-offset=NUM option, and
- will thus generally also control the setting of this option for
- libraries. This option is only supported on Epiphany targets.
-
-'--with-fpmath=ISA'
- This options sets '-mfpmath=sse' by default and specifies the
- default ISA for floating-point arithmetics. You can select either
- 'sse' which enables '-msse2' or 'avx' which enables '-mavx' by
- default. This option is only supported on i386 and x86-64 targets.
-
-'--with-nan=ENCODING'
- On MIPS targets, set the default encoding convention to use for the
- special not-a-number (NaN) IEEE 754 floating-point data. The
- possibilities for ENCODING are:
- 'legacy'
- Use the legacy encoding, as with the '-mnan=legacy'
- command-line option.
- '2008'
- Use the 754-2008 encoding, as with the '-mnan=2008'
- command-line option.
- To use this configuration option you must have an assembler version
- installed that supports the '-mnan=' command-line option too. In
- the absence of this configuration option the default convention is
- the legacy encoding, as when neither of the '-mnan=2008' and
- '-mnan=legacy' command-line options has been used.
-
-'--with-divide=TYPE'
- Specify how the compiler should generate code for checking for
- division by zero. This option is only supported on the MIPS
- target. The possibilities for TYPE are:
- 'traps'
- Division by zero checks use conditional traps (this is the
- default on systems that support conditional traps).
- 'breaks'
- Division by zero checks use the break instruction.
-
-'--with-llsc'
- On MIPS targets, make '-mllsc' the default when no '-mno-llsc'
- option is passed. This is the default for Linux-based targets, as
- the kernel will emulate them if the ISA does not provide them.
-
-'--without-llsc'
- On MIPS targets, make '-mno-llsc' the default when no '-mllsc'
- option is passed.
-
-'--with-synci'
- On MIPS targets, make '-msynci' the default when no '-mno-synci'
- option is passed.
-
-'--without-synci'
- On MIPS targets, make '-mno-synci' the default when no '-msynci'
- option is passed. This is the default.
-
-'--with-mips-plt'
- On MIPS targets, make use of copy relocations and PLTs. These
- features are extensions to the traditional SVR4-based MIPS ABIs and
- require support from GNU binutils and the runtime C library.
-
-'--enable-__cxa_atexit'
- Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to
- register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects.
- This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of
- destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc. This option is
- currently only available on systems with GNU libc. When enabled,
- this will cause '-fuse-cxa-atexit' to be passed by default.
-
-'--enable-gnu-indirect-function'
- Define if you want to enable the 'ifunc' attribute. This option is
- currently only available on systems with GNU libc on certain
- targets.
-
-'--enable-target-optspace'
- Specify that target libraries should be optimized for code space
- instead of code speed. This is the default for the m32r platform.
-
-'--with-cpp-install-dir=DIRNAME'
- Specify that the user visible 'cpp' program should be installed in
- 'PREFIX/DIRNAME/cpp', in addition to BINDIR.
-
-'--enable-comdat'
- Enable COMDAT group support. This is primarily used to override
- the automatically detected value.
-
-'--enable-initfini-array'
- Force the use of sections '.init_array' and '.fini_array' (instead
- of '.init' and '.fini') for constructors and destructors. Option
- '--disable-initfini-array' has the opposite effect. If neither
- option is specified, the configure script will try to guess whether
- the '.init_array' and '.fini_array' sections are supported and, if
- they are, use them.
-
-'--enable-link-mutex'
- When building GCC, use a mutex to avoid linking the compilers for
- multiple languages at the same time, to avoid thrashing on build
- systems with limited free memory. The default is not to use such a
- mutex.
-
-'--enable-maintainer-mode'
- The build rules that regenerate the Autoconf and Automake output
- files as well as the GCC master message catalog 'gcc.pot' are
- normally disabled. This is because it can only be rebuilt if the
- complete source tree is present. If you have changed the sources
- and want to rebuild the catalog, configuring with
- '--enable-maintainer-mode' will enable this. Note that you need a
- recent version of the 'gettext' tools to do so.
-
-'--disable-bootstrap'
- For a native build, the default configuration is to perform a
- 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when 'make' is invoked, testing
- that GCC can compile itself correctly. If you want to disable this
- process, you can configure with '--disable-bootstrap'.
-
-'--enable-bootstrap'
- In special cases, you may want to perform a 3-stage build even if
- the target and host triplets are different. This is possible when
- the host can run code compiled for the target (e.g. host is
- i686-linux, target is i486-linux). Starting from GCC 4.2, to do
- this you have to configure explicitly with '--enable-bootstrap'.
-
-'--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir'
- Neither the .c and .h files that are generated from Bison and flex
- nor the info manuals and man pages that are built from the .texi
- files are present in the SVN development tree. When building GCC
- from that development tree, or from one of our snapshots, those
- generated files are placed in your build directory, which allows
- for the source to be in a readonly directory.
-
- If you configure with '--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir' then
- those generated files will go into the source directory. This is
- mainly intended for generating release or prerelease tarballs of
- the GCC sources, since it is not a requirement that the users of
- source releases to have flex, Bison, or makeinfo.
-
-'--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs'
- Specify that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler
- specific subdirectory ('LIBDIR/gcc') rather than the usual places.
- In addition, 'libstdc++''s include files will be installed into
- 'LIBDIR' unless you overruled it by using
- '--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME'. Using this option is
- particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in
- parallel. This is currently supported by 'libgfortran', 'libjava',
- 'libstdc++', and 'libobjc'.
-
-'--enable-languages=LANG1,LANG2,...'
- Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and their
- runtime libraries should be built. For a list of valid values for
- LANGN you can issue the following command in the 'gcc' directory of
- your GCC source tree:
- grep language= */config-lang.in
- Currently, you can use any of the following: 'all', 'ada', 'c',
- 'c++', 'fortran', 'go', 'java', 'objc', 'obj-c++'. Building the
- Ada compiler has special requirements, see below. If you do not
- pass this flag, or specify the option 'all', then all default
- languages available in the 'gcc' sub-tree will be configured. Ada,
- Go and Objective-C++ are not default languages; the rest are.
-
-'--enable-stage1-languages=LANG1,LANG2,...'
- Specify that a particular subset of compilers and their runtime
- libraries should be built with the system C compiler during stage 1
- of the bootstrap process, rather than only in later stages with the
- bootstrapped C compiler. The list of valid values is the same as
- for '--enable-languages', and the option 'all' will select all of
- the languages enabled by '--enable-languages'. This option is
- primarily useful for GCC development; for instance, when a
- development version of the compiler cannot bootstrap due to
- compiler bugs, or when one is debugging front ends other than the C
- front end. When this option is used, one can then build the target
- libraries for the specified languages with the stage-1 compiler by
- using 'make stage1-bubble all-target', or run the testsuite on the
- stage-1 compiler for the specified languages using 'make
- stage1-start check-gcc'.
-
-'--disable-libada'
- Specify that the run-time libraries and tools used by GNAT should
- not be built. This can be useful for debugging, or for
- compatibility with previous Ada build procedures, when it was
- required to explicitly do a 'make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools'.
-
-'--disable-libssp'
- Specify that the run-time libraries for stack smashing protection
- should not be built.
-
-'--disable-libquadmath'
- Specify that the GCC quad-precision math library should not be
- built. On some systems, the library is required to be linkable
- when building the Fortran front end, unless
- '--disable-libquadmath-support' is used.
-
-'--disable-libquadmath-support'
- Specify that the Fortran front end and 'libgfortran' do not add
- support for 'libquadmath' on systems supporting it.
-
-'--disable-libgomp'
- Specify that the run-time libraries used by GOMP should not be
- built.
-
-'--disable-libvtv'
- Specify that the run-time libraries used by vtable verification
- should not be built.
-
-'--with-dwarf2'
- Specify that the compiler should use DWARF 2 debugging information
- as the default.
-
-'--enable-targets=all'
-'--enable-targets=TARGET_LIST'
- Some GCC targets, e.g. powerpc64-linux, build bi-arch compilers.
- These are compilers that are able to generate either 64-bit or
- 32-bit code. Typically, the corresponding 32-bit target, e.g.
- powerpc-linux for powerpc64-linux, only generates 32-bit code.
- This option enables the 32-bit target to be a bi-arch compiler,
- which is useful when you want a bi-arch compiler that defaults to
- 32-bit, and you are building a bi-arch or multi-arch binutils in a
- combined tree. On mips-linux, this will build a tri-arch compiler
- (ABI o32/n32/64), defaulted to o32. Currently, this option only
- affects sparc-linux, powerpc-linux, x86-linux, mips-linux and
- s390-linux.
-
-'--enable-secureplt'
- This option enables '-msecure-plt' by default for powerpc-linux.
- *Note RS/6000 and PowerPC Options: (gcc)RS/6000 and PowerPC
- Options,
-
-'--enable-cld'
- This option enables '-mcld' by default for 32-bit x86 targets.
- *Note i386 and x86-64 Options: (gcc)i386 and x86-64 Options,
-
-'--enable-win32-registry'
-'--enable-win32-registry=KEY'
-'--disable-win32-registry'
- The '--enable-win32-registry' option enables Microsoft
- Windows-hosted GCC to look up installations paths in the registry
- using the following key:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\KEY
-
- KEY defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the
- '--enable-win32-registry=KEY' option. Vendors and distributors who
- use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different key,
- perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number, to
- avoid conflict with existing installations. This feature is
- enabled by default, and can be disabled by
- '--disable-win32-registry' option. This option has no effect on
- the other hosts.
-
-'--nfp'
- Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit. This
- option only applies to 'm68k-sun-sunosN'. On any other system,
- '--nfp' has no effect.
-
-'--enable-werror'
-'--disable-werror'
-'--enable-werror=yes'
-'--enable-werror=no'
- When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in
- the compiler are built with '-Werror' in bootstrap stage2 and
- later. If you don't specify it, '-Werror' is turned on for the
- main development trunk. However it defaults to off for release
- branches and final releases. The specific files which get
- '-Werror' are controlled by the Makefiles.
-
-'--enable-checking'
-'--enable-checking=LIST'
- When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform
- internal consistency checks of the requested complexity. This does
- not change the generated code, but adds error checking within the
- compiler. This will slow down the compiler and may only work
- properly if you are building the compiler with GCC. This is 'yes'
- by default when building from SVN or snapshots, but 'release' for
- releases. The default for building the stage1 compiler is 'yes'.
- More control over the checks may be had by specifying LIST. The
- categories of checks available are 'yes' (most common checks
- 'assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime'), 'no' (no checks at all),
- 'all' (all but 'valgrind'), 'release' (cheapest checks
- 'assert,runtime') or 'none' (same as 'no'). Individual checks can
- be enabled with these flags 'assert', 'df', 'fold', 'gc', 'gcac'
- 'misc', 'rtl', 'rtlflag', 'runtime', 'tree', and 'valgrind'.
-
- The 'valgrind' check requires the external 'valgrind' simulator,
- available from <http://valgrind.org/>. The 'df', 'rtl', 'gcac' and
- 'valgrind' checks are very expensive. To disable all checking,
- '--disable-checking' or '--enable-checking=none' must be explicitly
- requested. Disabling assertions will make the compiler and runtime
- slightly faster but increase the risk of undetected internal errors
- causing wrong code to be generated.
-
-'--disable-stage1-checking'
-'--enable-stage1-checking'
-'--enable-stage1-checking=LIST'
- If no '--enable-checking' option is specified the stage1 compiler
- will be built with 'yes' checking enabled, otherwise the stage1
- checking flags are the same as specified by '--enable-checking'.
- To build the stage1 compiler with different checking options use
- '--enable-stage1-checking'. The list of checking options is the
- same as for '--enable-checking'. If your system is too slow or too
- small to bootstrap a released compiler with checking for stage1
- enabled, you can use '--disable-stage1-checking' to disable
- checking for the stage1 compiler.
-
-'--enable-coverage'
-'--enable-coverage=LEVEL'
- With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage
- information, every time it is run. This is for internal
- development purposes, and only works when the compiler is being
- built with gcc. The LEVEL argument controls whether the compiler
- is built optimized or not, values are 'opt' and 'noopt'. For
- coverage analysis you want to disable optimization, for performance
- analysis you want to enable optimization. When coverage is
- enabled, the default level is without optimization.
-
-'--enable-gather-detailed-mem-stats'
- When this option is specified more detailed information on memory
- allocation is gathered. This information is printed when using
- '-fmem-report'.
-
-'--enable-nls'
-'--disable-nls'
- The '--enable-nls' option enables Native Language Support (NLS),
- which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American
- English. Native Language Support is enabled by default if not
- doing a canadian cross build. The '--disable-nls' option disables
- NLS.
-
-'--with-included-gettext'
- If NLS is enabled, the '--with-included-gettext' option causes the
- build procedure to prefer its copy of GNU 'gettext'.
-
-'--with-catgets'
- If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks 'gettext' but has the
- inferior 'catgets' interface, the GCC build procedure normally
- ignores 'catgets' and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU 'gettext'
- library. The '--with-catgets' option causes the build procedure to
- use the host's 'catgets' in this situation.
-
-'--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR'
- Search for libiconv header files in 'DIR/include' and libiconv
- library files in 'DIR/lib'.
-
-'--enable-obsolete'
- Enable configuration for an obsoleted system. If you attempt to
- configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been
- obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt
- with an error message.
-
- All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release of
- GCC is removed entirely in the next major release, unless someone
- steps forward to maintain the port.
-
-'--enable-decimal-float'
-'--enable-decimal-float=yes'
-'--enable-decimal-float=no'
-'--enable-decimal-float=bid'
-'--enable-decimal-float=dpd'
-'--disable-decimal-float'
- Enable (or disable) support for the C decimal floating point
- extension that is in the IEEE 754-2008 standard. This is enabled
- by default only on PowerPC, i386, and x86_64 GNU/Linux systems.
- Other systems may also support it, but require the user to
- specifically enable it. You can optionally control which decimal
- floating point format is used (either 'bid' or 'dpd'). The 'bid'
- (binary integer decimal) format is default on i386 and x86_64
- systems, and the 'dpd' (densely packed decimal) format is default
- on PowerPC systems.
-
-'--enable-fixed-point'
-'--disable-fixed-point'
- Enable (or disable) support for C fixed-point arithmetic. This
- option is enabled by default for some targets (such as MIPS) which
- have hardware-support for fixed-point operations. On other
- targets, you may enable this option manually.
-
-'--with-long-double-128'
- Specify if 'long double' type should be 128-bit by default on
- selected GNU/Linux architectures. If using
- '--without-long-double-128', 'long double' will be by default
- 64-bit, the same as 'double' type. When neither of these configure
- options are used, the default will be 128-bit 'long double' when
- built against GNU C Library 2.4 and later, 64-bit 'long double'
- otherwise.
-
-'--with-gmp=PATHNAME'
-'--with-gmp-include=PATHNAME'
-'--with-gmp-lib=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpfr=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpfr-include=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpfr-lib=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpc=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpc-include=PATHNAME'
-'--with-mpc-lib=PATHNAME'
- If you want to build GCC but do not have the GMP library, the MPFR
- library and/or the MPC library installed in a standard location and
- do not have their sources present in the GCC source tree then you
- can explicitly specify the directory where they are installed
- ('--with-gmp=GMPINSTALLDIR', '--with-mpfr=MPFRINSTALLDIR',
- '--with-mpc=MPCINSTALLDIR'). The '--with-gmp=GMPINSTALLDIR' option
- is shorthand for '--with-gmp-lib=GMPINSTALLDIR/lib' and
- '--with-gmp-include=GMPINSTALLDIR/include'. Likewise the
- '--with-mpfr=MPFRINSTALLDIR' option is shorthand for
- '--with-mpfr-lib=MPFRINSTALLDIR/lib' and
- '--with-mpfr-include=MPFRINSTALLDIR/include', also the
- '--with-mpc=MPCINSTALLDIR' option is shorthand for
- '--with-mpc-lib=MPCINSTALLDIR/lib' and
- '--with-mpc-include=MPCINSTALLDIR/include'. If these shorthand
- assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit include and
- lib options directly. You might also need to ensure the shared
- libraries can be found by the dynamic linker when building and
- using GCC, for example by setting the runtime shared library path
- variable ('LD_LIBRARY_PATH' on GNU/Linux and Solaris systems).
-
- These flags are applicable to the host platform only. When
- building a cross compiler, they will not be used to configure
- target libraries.
-
-'--with-isl=PATHNAME'
-'--with-isl-include=PATHNAME'
-'--with-isl-lib=PATHNAME'
-'--with-cloog=PATHNAME'
-'--with-cloog-include=PATHNAME'
-'--with-cloog-lib=PATHNAME'
- If you do not have ISL and the CLooG libraries installed in a
- standard location and you want to build GCC, you can explicitly
- specify the directory where they are installed
- ('--with-isl=ISLINSTALLDIR', '--with-cloog=CLOOGINSTALLDIR'). The
- '--with-isl=ISLINSTALLDIR' option is shorthand for
- '--with-isl-lib=ISLINSTALLDIR/lib' and
- '--with-isl-include=ISLINSTALLDIR/include'. Likewise the
- '--with-cloog=CLOOGINSTALLDIR' option is shorthand for
- '--with-cloog-lib=CLOOGINSTALLDIR/lib' and
- '--with-cloog-include=CLOOGINSTALLDIR/include'. If these shorthand
- assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit include and
- lib options directly.
-
- These flags are applicable to the host platform only. When
- building a cross compiler, they will not be used to configure
- target libraries.
-
-'--with-host-libstdcxx=LINKER-ARGS'
- If you are linking with a static copy of PPL, you can use this
- option to specify how the linker should find the standard C++
- library used internally by PPL. Typical values of LINKER-ARGS might
- be '-lstdc++' or '-Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm'. If you are
- linking with a shared copy of PPL, you probably do not need this
- option; shared library dependencies will cause the linker to search
- for the standard C++ library automatically.
-
-'--with-stage1-ldflags=FLAGS'
- This option may be used to set linker flags to be used when linking
- stage 1 of GCC. These are also used when linking GCC if configured
- with '--disable-bootstrap'. By default no special flags are used.
-
-'--with-stage1-libs=LIBS'
- This option may be used to set libraries to be used when linking
- stage 1 of GCC. These are also used when linking GCC if configured
- with '--disable-bootstrap'. The default is the argument to
- '--with-host-libstdcxx', if specified.
-
-'--with-boot-ldflags=FLAGS'
- This option may be used to set linker flags to be used when linking
- stage 2 and later when bootstrapping GCC. If neither
- -with-boot-libs nor -with-host-libstdcxx is set to a value, then
- the default is '-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc'.
-
-'--with-boot-libs=LIBS'
- This option may be used to set libraries to be used when linking
- stage 2 and later when bootstrapping GCC. The default is the
- argument to '--with-host-libstdcxx', if specified.
-
-'--with-debug-prefix-map=MAP'
- Convert source directory names using '-fdebug-prefix-map' when
- building runtime libraries. 'MAP' is a space-separated list of
- maps of the form 'OLD=NEW'.
-
-'--enable-linker-build-id'
- Tells GCC to pass '--build-id' option to the linker for all final
- links (links performed without the '-r' or '--relocatable' option),
- if the linker supports it. If you specify
- '--enable-linker-build-id', but your linker does not support
- '--build-id' option, a warning is issued and the
- '--enable-linker-build-id' option is ignored. The default is off.
-
-'--with-linker-hash-style=CHOICE'
- Tells GCC to pass '--hash-style=CHOICE' option to the linker for
- all final links. CHOICE can be one of 'sysv', 'gnu', and 'both'
- where 'sysv' is the default.
-
-'--enable-gnu-unique-object'
-'--disable-gnu-unique-object'
- Tells GCC to use the gnu_unique_object relocation for C++ template
- static data members and inline function local statics. Enabled by
- default for a toolchain with an assembler that accepts it and GLIBC
- 2.11 or above, otherwise disabled.
-
-'--enable-lto'
-'--disable-lto'
- Enable support for link-time optimization (LTO). This is enabled by
- default, and may be disabled using '--disable-lto'.
-
-'--with-plugin-ld=PATHNAME'
- Enable an alternate linker to be used at link-time optimization
- (LTO) link time when '-fuse-linker-plugin' is enabled. This linker
- should have plugin support such as gold starting with version 2.20
- or GNU ld starting with version 2.21. See '-fuse-linker-plugin'
- for details.
-
-'--enable-canonical-system-headers'
-'--disable-canonical-system-headers'
- Enable system header path canonicalization for 'libcpp'. This can
- produce shorter header file paths in diagnostics and dependency
- output files, but these changed header paths may conflict with some
- compilation environments. Enabled by default, and may be disabled
- using '--disable-canonical-system-headers'.
-
-'--with-glibc-version=MAJOR.MINOR'
- Tell GCC that when the GNU C Library (glibc) is used on the target
- it will be version MAJOR.MINOR or later. Normally this can be
- detected from the C library's header files, but this option may be
- needed when bootstrapping a cross toolchain without the header
- files available for building the initial bootstrap compiler.
-
- If GCC is configured with some multilibs that use glibc and some
- that do not, this option applies only to the multilibs that use
- glibc. However, such configurations may not work well as not all
- the relevant configuration in GCC is on a per-multilib basis.
-
-Cross-Compiler-Specific Options
--------------------------------
-
-The following options only apply to building cross compilers.
-
-'--with-sysroot'
-'--with-sysroot=DIR'
- Tells GCC to consider DIR as the root of a tree that contains (a
- subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system.
- Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be
- searched for in there. More specifically, this acts as if
- '--sysroot=DIR' was added to the default options of the built
- compiler. The specified directory is not copied into the install
- tree, unlike the options '--with-headers' and '--with-libs' that
- this option obsoletes. The default value, in case '--with-sysroot'
- is not given an argument, is '${gcc_tooldir}/sys-root'. If the
- specified directory is a subdirectory of '${exec_prefix}', then it
- will be found relative to the GCC binaries if the installation tree
- is moved.
-
- This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build
- target libraries (which runs on the build system) and the compiler
- newly installed with 'make install'; it does not affect the
- compiler which is used to build GCC itself.
-
- If you specify the '--with-native-system-header-dir=DIRNAME' option
- then the compiler will search that directory within DIRNAME for
- native system headers rather than the default '/usr/include'.
-
-'--with-build-sysroot'
-'--with-build-sysroot=DIR'
- Tells GCC to consider DIR as the system root (see '--with-sysroot')
- while building target libraries, instead of the directory specified
- with '--with-sysroot'. This option is only useful when you are
- already using '--with-sysroot'. You can use '--with-build-sysroot'
- when you are configuring with '--prefix' set to a directory that is
- different from the one in which you are installing GCC and your
- target libraries.
-
- This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build
- target libraries (which runs on the build system); it does not
- affect the compiler which is used to build GCC itself.
-
- If you specify the '--with-native-system-header-dir=DIRNAME' option
- then the compiler will search that directory within DIRNAME for
- native system headers rather than the default '/usr/include'.
-
-'--with-headers'
-'--with-headers=DIR'
- Deprecated in favor of '--with-sysroot'. Specifies that target
- headers are available when building a cross compiler. The DIR
- argument specifies a directory which has the target include files.
- These include files will be copied into the 'gcc' install
- directory. _This option with the DIR argument is required_ when
- building a cross compiler, if 'PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' doesn't
- pre-exist. If 'PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' does pre-exist, the DIR
- argument may be omitted. 'fixincludes' will be run on these files
- to make them compatible with GCC.
-
-'--without-headers'
- Tells GCC not use any target headers from a libc when building a
- cross compiler. When crossing to GNU/Linux, you need the headers
- so GCC can build the exception handling for libgcc.
-
-'--with-libs'
-'--with-libs="DIR1 DIR2 ... DIRN"'
- Deprecated in favor of '--with-sysroot'. Specifies a list of
- directories which contain the target runtime libraries. These
- libraries will be copied into the 'gcc' install directory. If the
- directory list is omitted, this option has no effect.
-
-'--with-newlib'
- Specifies that 'newlib' is being used as the target C library.
- This causes '__eprintf' to be omitted from 'libgcc.a' on the
- assumption that it will be provided by 'newlib'.
-
-'--with-avrlibc'
- Specifies that 'AVR-Libc' is being used as the target C library.
- This causes float support functions like '__addsf3' to be omitted
- from 'libgcc.a' on the assumption that it will be provided by
- 'libm.a'. For more technical details, cf. PR54461. This option
- is only supported for the AVR target. It is not supported for
- RTEMS configurations, which currently use newlib. The option is
- supported since version 4.7.2 and is the default in 4.8.0 and
- newer.
-
-'--with-nds32-lib=LIBRARY'
- Specifies that LIBRARY setting is used for building 'libgcc.a'.
- Currently, the valid LIBRARY is 'newlib' or 'mculib'. This option
- is only supported for the NDS32 target.
-
-'--with-build-time-tools=DIR'
- Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler, linker,
- etc.) that will be used while building GCC itself. This option
- can be useful if the directory layouts are different between the
- system you are building GCC on, and the system where you will
- deploy it.
-
- For example, on an 'ia64-hp-hpux' system, you may have the GNU
- assembler and linker in '/usr/bin', and the native tools in a
- different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the
- native tools in '/usr/bin'.
-
- When you use this option, you should ensure that DIR includes 'ar',
- 'as', 'ld', 'nm', 'ranlib' and 'strip' if necessary, and possibly
- 'objdump'. Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of tools.
-
-Java-Specific Options
----------------------
-
-The following option applies to the build of the Java front end.
-
-'--disable-libgcj'
- Specify that the run-time libraries used by GCJ should not be
- built. This is useful in case you intend to use GCJ with some
- other run-time, or you're going to install it separately, or it
- just happens not to build on your particular machine. In general,
- if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ libraries will be enabled
- too, unless they're known to not work on the target platform. If
- GCJ is enabled but 'libgcj' isn't built, you may need to port it;
- in this case, before modifying the top-level 'configure.in' so that
- 'libgcj' is enabled by default on this platform, you may use
- '--enable-libgcj' to override the default.
-
- The following options apply to building 'libgcj'.
-
-General Options
-...............
-
-'--enable-java-maintainer-mode'
- By default the 'libjava' build will not attempt to compile the
- '.java' source files to '.class'. Instead, it will use the
- '.class' files from the source tree. If you use this option you
- must have executables named 'ecj1' and 'gjavah' in your path for
- use by the build. You must use this option if you intend to modify
- any '.java' files in 'libjava'.
-
-'--with-java-home=DIRNAME'
- This 'libjava' option overrides the default value of the
- 'java.home' system property. It is also used to set
- 'sun.boot.class.path' to 'DIRNAME/lib/rt.jar'. By default
- 'java.home' is set to 'PREFIX' and 'sun.boot.class.path' to
- 'DATADIR/java/libgcj-VERSION.jar'.
-
-'--with-ecj-jar=FILENAME'
- This option can be used to specify the location of an external jar
- file containing the Eclipse Java compiler. A specially modified
- version of this compiler is used by 'gcj' to parse '.java' source
- files. If this option is given, the 'libjava' build will create
- and install an 'ecj1' executable which uses this jar file at
- runtime.
-
- If this option is not given, but an 'ecj.jar' file is found in the
- topmost source tree at configure time, then the 'libgcj' build will
- create and install 'ecj1', and will also install the discovered
- 'ecj.jar' into a suitable place in the install tree.
-
- If 'ecj1' is not installed, then the user will have to supply one
- on his path in order for 'gcj' to properly parse '.java' source
- files. A suitable jar is available from
- <ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/>.
-
-'--disable-getenv-properties'
- Don't set system properties from 'GCJ_PROPERTIES'.
-
-'--enable-hash-synchronization'
- Use a global hash table for monitor locks. Ordinarily, 'libgcj''s
- 'configure' script automatically makes the correct choice for this
- option for your platform. Only use this if you know you need the
- library to be configured differently.
-
-'--enable-interpreter'
- Enable the Java interpreter. The interpreter is automatically
- enabled by default on all platforms that support it. This option
- is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter (using
- '--disable-interpreter').
-
-'--disable-java-net'
- Disable java.net. This disables the native part of java.net only,
- using non-functional stubs for native method implementations.
-
-'--disable-jvmpi'
- Disable JVMPI support.
-
-'--disable-libgcj-bc'
- Disable BC ABI compilation of certain parts of libgcj. By default,
- some portions of libgcj are compiled with '-findirect-dispatch' and
- '-fno-indirect-classes', allowing them to be overridden at
- run-time.
-
- If '--disable-libgcj-bc' is specified, libgcj is built without
- these options. This allows the compile-time linker to resolve
- dependencies when statically linking to libgcj. However it makes
- it impossible to override the affected portions of libgcj at
- run-time.
-
-'--enable-reduced-reflection'
- Build most of libgcj with '-freduced-reflection'. This reduces the
- size of libgcj at the expense of not being able to do accurate
- reflection on the classes it contains. This option is safe if you
- know that code using libgcj will never use reflection on the
- standard runtime classes in libgcj (including using serialization,
- RMI or CORBA).
-
-'--with-ecos'
- Enable runtime eCos target support.
-
-'--without-libffi'
- Don't use 'libffi'. This will disable the interpreter and JNI
- support as well, as these require 'libffi' to work.
-
-'--enable-libgcj-debug'
- Enable runtime debugging code.
-
-'--enable-libgcj-multifile'
- If specified, causes all '.java' source files to be compiled into
- '.class' files in one invocation of 'gcj'. This can speed up build
- time, but is more resource-intensive. If this option is
- unspecified or disabled, 'gcj' is invoked once for each '.java'
- file to compile into a '.class' file.
-
-'--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR'
- Search for libiconv in 'DIR/include' and 'DIR/lib'.
-
-'--enable-sjlj-exceptions'
- Force use of the 'setjmp'/'longjmp'-based scheme for exceptions.
- 'configure' ordinarily picks the correct value based on the
- platform. Only use this option if you are sure you need a
- different setting.
-
-'--with-system-zlib'
- Use installed 'zlib' rather than that included with GCC.
-
-'--with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode'
- Indicates how MinGW 'libgcj' translates between UNICODE characters
- and the Win32 API.
-
-'--enable-java-home'
- If enabled, this creates a JPackage compatible SDK environment
- during install. Note that if -enable-java-home is used,
- -with-arch-directory=ARCH must also be specified.
-
-'--with-arch-directory=ARCH'
- Specifies the name to use for the 'jre/lib/ARCH' directory in the
- SDK environment created when -enable-java-home is passed. Typical
- names for this directory include i386, amd64, ia64, etc.
-
-'--with-os-directory=DIR'
- Specifies the OS directory for the SDK include directory. This is
- set to auto detect, and is typically 'linux'.
-
-'--with-origin-name=NAME'
- Specifies the JPackage origin name. This defaults to the 'gcj' in
- java-1.5.0-gcj.
-
-'--with-arch-suffix=SUFFIX'
- Specifies the suffix for the sdk directory. Defaults to the empty
- string. Examples include '.x86_64' in
- 'java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0.x86_64'.
-
-'--with-jvm-root-dir=DIR'
- Specifies where to install the SDK. Default is $(prefix)/lib/jvm.
-
-'--with-jvm-jar-dir=DIR'
- Specifies where to install jars. Default is
- $(prefix)/lib/jvm-exports.
-
-'--with-python-dir=DIR'
- Specifies where to install the Python modules used for aot-compile.
- DIR should not include the prefix used in installation. For
- example, if the Python modules are to be installed in
- /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then
- -with-python-dir=/lib/python2.5/site-packages should be passed. If
- this is not specified, then the Python modules are installed in
- $(prefix)/share/python.
-
-'--enable-aot-compile-rpm'
- Adds aot-compile-rpm to the list of installed scripts.
-
-'--enable-browser-plugin'
- Build the gcjwebplugin web browser plugin.
-
-'--enable-static-libjava'
- Build static libraries in libjava. The default is to only build
- shared libraries.
-
- 'ansi'
- Use the single-byte 'char' and the Win32 A functions natively,
- translating to and from UNICODE when using these functions.
- If unspecified, this is the default.
-
- 'unicows'
- Use the 'WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively. Adds
- '-lunicows' to 'libgcj.spec' to link with 'libunicows'.
- 'unicows.dll' needs to be deployed on Microsoft Windows 9X
- machines running built executables. 'libunicows.a', an
- open-source import library around Microsoft's 'unicows.dll',
- is obtained from <http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/>, which
- also gives details on getting 'unicows.dll' from Microsoft.
-
- 'unicode'
- Use the 'WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively. Does _not_
- add '-lunicows' to 'libgcj.spec'. The built executables will
- only run on Microsoft Windows NT and above.
-
-AWT-Specific Options
-....................
-
-'--with-x'
- Use the X Window System.
-
-'--enable-java-awt=PEER(S)'
- Specifies the AWT peer library or libraries to build alongside
- 'libgcj'. If this option is unspecified or disabled, AWT will be
- non-functional. Current valid values are 'gtk' and 'xlib'.
- Multiple libraries should be separated by a comma (i.e.
- '--enable-java-awt=gtk,xlib').
-
-'--enable-gtk-cairo'
- Build the cairo Graphics2D implementation on GTK.
-
-'--enable-java-gc=TYPE'
- Choose garbage collector. Defaults to 'boehm' if unspecified.
-
-'--disable-gtktest'
- Do not try to compile and run a test GTK+ program.
-
-'--disable-glibtest'
- Do not try to compile and run a test GLIB program.
-
-'--with-libart-prefix=PFX'
- Prefix where libart is installed (optional).
-
-'--with-libart-exec-prefix=PFX'
- Exec prefix where libart is installed (optional).
-
-'--disable-libarttest'
- Do not try to compile and run a test libart program.
-
-Overriding 'configure' test results
-...................................
-
-Sometimes, it might be necessary to override the result of some
-'configure' test, for example in order to ease porting to a new system
-or work around a bug in a test. The toplevel 'configure' script
-provides three variables for this:
-
-'build_configargs'
- The contents of this variable is passed to all build 'configure'
- scripts.
-
-'host_configargs'
- The contents of this variable is passed to all host 'configure'
- scripts.
-
-'target_configargs'
- The contents of this variable is passed to all target 'configure'
- scripts.
-
- In order to avoid shell and 'make' quoting issues for complex
-overrides, you can pass a setting for 'CONFIG_SITE' and set variables in
-the site file.

-5 Building
-**********
-
-Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
-runtime libraries.
-
- Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a
-nonzero status) and be ignored by 'make'. These failures, which are
-often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely be
-ignored.
-
- 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 '--disable-werror'.
-
- On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such
-as 'CC' can interfere with the functioning of 'make'.
-
- 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. Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations.
-
- If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old
-System V file system, problems may occur in running 'fixincludes' if the
-System V file system doesn't support symbolic links. These problems
-result in a failure to fix the declaration of 'size_t' in 'sys/types.h'.
-If you find that 'size_t' is a signed type and that type mismatches
-occur, this could be the cause.
-
- The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC.
-
- Similarly, when building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify
-'*.l' files, you need the Flex lexical analyzer generator installed. If
-you do not modify '*.l' 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.
-
- 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.
-
-5.1 Building a native compiler
-==============================
-
-For a native build, the default configuration is to perform a 3-stage
-bootstrap of the compiler when 'make' is invoked. This will build the
-entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles itself correctly. It can
-be disabled with the '--disable-bootstrap' parameter to 'configure', but
-bootstrapping is suggested because the compiler will be tested more
-completely and could also have better performance.
-
- The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps:
-
- * Build tools necessary to build the compiler.
-
- * 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.
-
- * Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
-
- * Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous
- step.
-
- If you are short on disk space you might consider 'make
-bootstrap-lean' 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.
-
- If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2
-and stage3 compilers, set 'BOOT_CFLAGS' on the command line when doing
-'make'. 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.)
-
- make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap
-
- You can place non-default optimization flags into 'BOOT_CFLAGS'; they
-are less well tested here than the default of '-g -O2', but should still
-work. In a few cases, you may find that you need to specify special
-flags such as '-msoft-float' here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the
-native compiler miscompiles the stage1 compiler, you may need to work
-around this, by choosing 'BOOT_CFLAGS' to avoid the parts of the stage1
-compiler that were miscompiled, or by using 'make bootstrap4' to
-increase the number of stages of bootstrap.
-
- 'BOOT_CFLAGS' does not apply to bootstrapped target libraries. Since
-these are always compiled with the compiler currently being
-bootstrapped, you can use 'CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET' 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 'STAGE1_TFLAGS' to this end.
-
- If you used the flag '--enable-languages=...' 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
-'LANGUAGES' when calling 'make' *does not* work anymore!
-
- 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 'Makefile'.)
-
- If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with
-'--disable-bootstrap'. 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
-'powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu' toolchain on a 'powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu'
-host. In this case, pass '--enable-bootstrap' to the configure script.
-
- 'BUILD_CONFIG' 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 'NAME', top-level 'config/NAME.mk' will be included by the
-top-level 'Makefile', bringing in any settings it contains. The default
-'BUILD_CONFIG' can be set using the configure option
-'--with-build-config=NAME...'. Some examples of supported build
-configurations are:
-
-'bootstrap-O1'
- Removes any '-O'-started option from 'BOOT_CFLAGS', and adds '-O1'
- to it. 'BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-O1' is equivalent to
- 'BOOT_CFLAGS='-g -O1''.
-
-'bootstrap-O3'
- Analogous to 'bootstrap-O1'.
-
-'bootstrap-lto'
- Enables Link-Time Optimization for host tools during bootstrapping.
- 'BUILD_CONFIG=bootstrap-lto' is equivalent to adding '-flto' to
- 'BOOT_CFLAGS'.
-
-'bootstrap-debug'
- 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 'contrib/compare-debug' to compare them with the stripped
- stage3 object files. If 'BOOT_CFLAGS' 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 'strip' 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.
-
-'bootstrap-debug-big'
- Rather than comparing stripped object files, as in
- 'bootstrap-debug', 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 'bootstrap-debug'.
-
-'bootstrap-debug-lean'
- This option saves disk space compared with 'bootstrap-debug-big',
- but at the expense of some recompilation. Instead of saving the
- dumps of stage2 and stage3 until the final compare, it uses
- '-fcompare-debug' to generate, compare and remove the dumps during
- stage3, repeating the compilation that already took place in
- stage2, whose dumps were not saved.
-
-'bootstrap-debug-lib'
- This option tests executable code invariance over debug information
- generation on target libraries, just like 'bootstrap-debug-lean'
- tests it on host programs. It builds stage3 libraries with
- '-fcompare-debug', and it can be used along with any of the
- 'bootstrap-debug' options above.
-
- There aren't '-lean' or '-big' 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.
-
-'bootstrap-debug-ckovw'
- Arranges for error messages to be issued if the compiler built on
- any stage is run without the option '-fcompare-debug'. This is
- useful to verify the full '-fcompare-debug' testing coverage. It
- must be used along with 'bootstrap-debug-lean' and
- 'bootstrap-debug-lib'.
-
-'bootstrap-time'
- Arranges for the run time of each program started by the GCC
- driver, built in any stage, to be logged to 'time.log', in the top
- level of the build tree.
-
-5.2 Building a cross compiler
-=============================
-
-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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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 '--with-ecj-jar=...'.
-
- Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and
-configured your cross compiler, issue the command 'make', which performs
-the following steps:
-
- * Build host tools necessary to build the compiler.
-
- * 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.
-
- * Build the compiler (single stage only).
-
- * Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
-
- Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.
-
- 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 'PREFIX/TARGET/bin'. Here
-is a table of the tools you should put in this directory:
-
-'as'
- This should be the cross-assembler.
-
-'ld'
- This should be the cross-linker.
-
-'ar'
- This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate
- archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format.
-
-'ranlib'
- This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive
- file.
-
- 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.
-
- The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils
-package. Configure it with the same '--host' and '--target' 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.
-
- 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 '--with-sysroot' or
-'--with-headers' and '--with-libs'. Many targets also require "start
-files" such as 'crt0.o' and 'crtn.o' which are linked into each
-executable. There may be several alternatives for 'crt0.o', for use
-with profiling or other compilation options. Check your target's
-definition of 'STARTFILE_SPEC' to find out what start files it uses.
-
-5.3 Building in parallel
-========================
-
-GNU Make 3.80 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support
-building in parallel. To activate this, you can use 'make -j 2' instead
-of 'make'. 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.
-
-5.4 Building the Ada compiler
-=============================
-
-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
-'gnatmake' and 'gnatlink', since the Ada front end is written in Ada and
-uses some GNAT-specific extensions.
-
- 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.
-
- 'configure' 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 '--enable-languages' is used to disable
-building the Ada front end.
-
- 'ADA_INCLUDE_PATH' and 'ADA_OBJECT_PATH' environment variables must
-not be set when building the Ada compiler, the Ada tools, or the Ada
-runtime libraries. You can check that your build environment is clean
-by verifying that 'gnatls -v' lists only one explicit path in each
-section.
-
-5.5 Building with profile feedback
-==================================
-
-It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself.
-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 'make
-profiledbootstrap'.
-
- When 'make profiledbootstrap' is run, it will first build a 'stage1'
-compiler. This compiler is used to build a 'stageprofile' compiler
-instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch
-probabilities. Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile
-collected. Finally a 'stagefeedback' compiler is built using the
-information collected.
-
- Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply.
-The compiler used to build 'stage1' needs to support a 64-bit integral
-type. It is recommended to only use GCC for this. Also parallel make
-is currently not supported since collisions in profile collecting may
-occur.

-6 Installing GCC: Testing
-*************************
-
-Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to
-compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have
-been submitted to the gcc-testresults mailing list. Some of these
-archived results are linked from the build status lists at
-<http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html>, although not everyone who reports a
-successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results. This step
-is optional and may require you to download additional software, but it
-can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out
-problems before you install and start using your new GCC.
-
- First, you must have downloaded the testsuites. These are part of
-the full distribution, but if you downloaded the "core" compiler plus
-any front ends, you must download the testsuites separately.
-
- Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes
-DejaGnu, Tcl, and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these.
-
- If the directories where 'runtest' and 'expect' were installed are
-not in the 'PATH', you may need to set the following environment
-variables appropriately, as in the following example (which assumes that
-DejaGnu has been installed under '/usr/local'):
-
- TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0
- DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu
-
- (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.)
-
- Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time):
- cd OBJDIR; make -k check
-
- 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 'WARNING: Couldn't find the global
-config file.' or 'WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file' that can be
-ignored.
-
- If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the
-testsuite on a simulator as described at
-<http://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html>.
-
-6.1 How can you run the testsuite on selected tests?
-====================================================
-
-In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets 'make
-check-gcc' and language specific 'make check-c', 'make check-c++', 'make
-check-fortran', 'make check-java', 'make check-ada', 'make check-objc',
-'make check-obj-c++', 'make check-lto' in the 'gcc' subdirectory of the
-object directory. You can also just run 'make check' in a subdirectory
-of the object directory.
-
- A more selective way to just run all 'gcc' execute tests in the
-testsuite is to use
-
- make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp OTHER-OPTIONS"
-
- Likewise, in order to run only the 'g++' "old-deja" tests in the
-testsuite with filenames matching '9805*', you would use
-
- make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* OTHER-OPTIONS"
-
- The '*.exp' files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
-source, the most important ones being 'compile.exp', 'execute.exp',
-'dg.exp' and 'old-deja.exp'. To get a list of the possible '*.exp'
-files, pipe the output of 'make check' into a file and look at the
-'Running ... .exp' lines.
-
-6.2 Passing options and running multiple testsuites
-===================================================
-
-You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the
-'--target_board' option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of
-'RUNTESTFLAGS', or directly to 'runtest' if you prefer to work outside
-the makefiles. For example,
-
- make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants"
-
- will run the standard 'g++' testsuites ("unix" is the target name for
-a standard native testsuite situation), passing '-O3 -fmerge-constants'
-to the compiler on every test, i.e., slashes separate options.
-
- You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of
-options with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells:
-
- ..."--target_board=arm-sim\{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\}\{-O1,-O2,-O3,\}"
-
- (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final
-group.) The following will run each testsuite eight times using the
-'arm-sim' target, as if you had specified all possible combinations
-yourself:
-
- --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'
-
- They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways.
-This list:
-
- ..."--target_board=unix/-Wextra\{-O3,-fno-strength\}\{-fomit-frame,\}"
-
- will generate four combinations, all involving '-Wextra'.
-
- 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
-'make' do the parallel runs. Instead of using '--target_board', use a
-special makefile target:
-
- make -jN check-TESTSUITE//TEST-TARGET/OPTION1/OPTION2/...
-
- For example,
-
- make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4}/{,-nofpu}
-
- will run three concurrent "make-gcc" testsuites, eventually testing
-all ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently
-only supported in the 'gcc' subdirectory. (To see how this works, try
-typing 'echo' before the example given here.)
-
-6.3 Additional testing for Java Class Libraries
-===============================================
-
-The Java runtime tests can be executed via 'make check' in the
-'TARGET/libjava/testsuite' directory in the build tree.
-
- The Mauve Project provides a suite of tests for the Java Class
-Libraries. This suite can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing
-the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite at
-'libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve', or by specifying the location
-of that tree when invoking 'make', as in 'make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check'.
-
-6.4 How to interpret test results
-=================================
-
-The result of running the testsuite are various '*.sum' and '*.log'
-files in the testsuite subdirectories. The '*.log' files contain a
-detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding results,
-the '*.sum' files summarize the results. These summaries contain status
-codes for all tests:
-
- * PASS: the test passed as expected
- * XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed
- * FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed
- * XFAIL: the test failed as expected
- * UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform
- * ERROR: the testsuite detected an error
- * WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem
-
- It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the
-current time the testing harness does not allow fine grained control
-over whether or not a test is expected to fail. This problem should be
-fixed in future releases.
-
-6.5 Submitting test results
-===========================
-
-If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the
-'contrib/test_summary' shell script. Start it in the OBJDIR with
-
- SRCDIR/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \
- -m gcc-testresults@gcc.gnu.org |sh
-
- This script uses the 'Mail' program to send the results, so make sure
-it is in your 'PATH'. The file 'your_commentary.txt' is prepended to
-the testsuite summary and should contain any special remarks you have on
-your results or your build environment. Please do not edit the
-testsuite result block or the subject line, as these messages may be
-automatically processed.

-7 Installing GCC: Final installation
-************************************
-
-Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it
-with
- cd OBJDIR && make install
-
- We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there
-is no previous version of GCC present. Also, the GNAT runtime should
-not be stripped, as this would break certain features of the debugger
-that depend on this debugging information (catching Ada exceptions for
-instance).
-
- That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can
-be found in 'PREFIX/bin' where PREFIX is the value you specified with
-the '--prefix' to configure (or '/usr/local' by default). (If you
-specified '--bindir', that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if
-you specified '--exec-prefix', 'EXEC-PREFIX/bin' will be used.) Headers
-for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in 'PREFIX/include';
-libraries in 'LIBDIR' (normally 'PREFIX/lib'); internal parts of the
-compiler in 'LIBDIR/gcc' and 'LIBEXECDIR/gcc'; documentation in info
-format in 'INFODIR' (normally 'PREFIX/info').
-
- When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables are not only
-installed into 'BINDIR', that is, 'EXEC-PREFIX/bin', but additionally
-into 'EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin', if that directory exists.
-Typically, such "tooldirs" hold target-specific binutils, including
-assembler and linker.
-
- Installation into a temporary staging area or into a 'chroot' jail
-can be achieved with the command
-
- make DESTDIR=PATH-TO-ROOTDIR install
-
-where PATH-TO-ROOTDIR is the absolute path of a directory relative to
-which all installation paths will be interpreted. Note that the
-directory specified by 'DESTDIR' need not exist yet; it will be created
-if necessary.
-
- There is a subtle point with tooldirs and 'DESTDIR': If you relocate
-a cross-compiler installation with e.g. 'DESTDIR=ROOTDIR', then the
-directory 'ROOTDIR/EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin' will be filled with
-duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, it will not be
-created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature, not as a bug, because
-it gives slightly more control to the packagers using the 'DESTDIR'
-feature.
-
- You can install stripped programs and libraries with
-
- make install-strip
-
- If you are bootstrapping a released version of GCC then please
-quickly review the build status page for your release, available from
-<http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html>. If your system is not listed for
-the version of GCC that you built, send a note to <gcc@gcc.gnu.org>
-indicating that you successfully built and installed GCC. Include the
-following information:
-
- * Output from running 'SRCDIR/config.guess'. Do not send that file
- itself, just the one-line output from running it.
-
- * The output of 'gcc -v' for your newly installed 'gcc'. This tells
- us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to
- configure.
-
- * Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them. If you used
- a full distribution then this information is part of the configure
- options in the output of 'gcc -v', but if you downloaded the "core"
- compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't apparent which
- ones you built unless you tell us about it.
-
- * If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include:
- * The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian
- 2.2.3); this information should be available from
- '/etc/issue'.
-
- * The version of the Linux kernel, available from 'uname
- --version' or 'uname -a'.
-
- * The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red
- Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE type 'rpm -q glibc' to get the glibc
- version, and on systems like Debian and Progeny use 'dpkg -l
- libc6'.
- For other systems, you can include similar information if you think
- it is relevant.
-
- * Any other information that you think would be useful to people
- building GCC on the same configuration. The new entry in the build
- status list will include a link to the archived copy of your
- message.
-
- We'd also like to know if the *note host/target specific installation
-notes: Specific. didn't include your host/target information or if that
-information is incomplete or out of date. Send a note to
-<gcc@gcc.gnu.org> detailing how the information should be changed.
-
- If you find a bug, please report it following the bug reporting
-guidelines.
-
- If you want to print the GCC manuals, do 'cd OBJDIR; make dvi'. You
-will need to have 'texi2dvi' (version at least 4.7) and TeX installed.
-This creates a number of '.dvi' files in subdirectories of 'OBJDIR';
-these may be converted for printing with programs such as 'dvips'.
-Alternately, by using 'make pdf' in place of 'make dvi', you can create
-documentation in the form of '.pdf' files; this requires 'texi2pdf',
-which is included with Texinfo version 4.8 and later. You can also buy
-printed manuals from the Free Software Foundation, though such manuals
-may not be for the most recent version of GCC.
-
- If you would like to generate online HTML documentation, do 'cd
-OBJDIR; make html' and HTML will be generated for the gcc manuals in
-'OBJDIR/gcc/HTML'.

-9 Host/target specific installation notes for GCC
-*************************************************
-
-Please read this document carefully _before_ installing the GNU Compiler
-Collection on your machine.
-
- Note that this list of install notes is _not_ a list of supported
-hosts or targets. Not all supported hosts and targets are listed here,
-only the ones that require host-specific or target-specific information
-have to.
-
-alpha*-*-*
-==========
-
-This section contains general configuration information for all
-alpha-based platforms using ELF (in particular, ignore this section for
-DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX and Tru64 UNIX). In addition to reading this
-section, please read all other sections that match your target.
-
- We require binutils 2.11.2 or newer. Previous binutils releases had
-a number of problems with DWARF 2 debugging information, not the least
-of which is incorrect linking of shared libraries.
-
-alpha*-dec-osf5.1
-=================
-
-Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and
-are running the DEC/Compaq/HP Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or
-Compaq/HP Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP
-systems.
-
- Support for Tru64 UNIX V5.1 has been removed in GCC 4.8. As of GCC
-4.6, support for Tru64 UNIX V4.0 and V5.0 has been removed. As of GCC
-3.2, versions before 'alpha*-dec-osf4' are no longer supported. (These
-are the versions which identify themselves as DEC OSF/1.)
-
-amd64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*
-========================
-
-This is a synonym for 'x86_64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*'.
-
-arc-*-elf32
-===========
-
-Use 'configure --target=arc-elf32 --with-cpu=CPU
---enable-languages="c,c++"' to configure GCC, with CPU being one of
-'arc600', 'arc601', or 'arc700'.
-
-arc-linux-uclibc
-================
-
-Use 'configure --target=arc-linux-uclibc --with-cpu=arc700
---enable-languages="c,c++"' to configure GCC.
-
-arm-*-eabi
-==========
-
-ARM-family processors. Subtargets that use the ELF object format
-require GNU binutils 2.13 or newer. Such subtargets include:
-'arm-*-netbsdelf', 'arm-*-*linux-*' and 'arm-*-rtemseabi'.
-
-avr
-===
-
-ATMEL AVR-family micro controllers. These are used in embedded
-applications. There are no standard Unix configurations. *Note AVR
-Options: (gcc)AVR Options, for the list of supported MCU types.
-
- Use 'configure --target=avr --enable-languages="c"' to configure GCC.
-
- Further installation notes and other useful information about AVR
-tools can also be obtained from:
-
- * http://www.nongnu.org/avr/
- * http://www.amelek.gda.pl/avr/
-
- We _strongly_ recommend using binutils 2.13 or newer.
-
- The following error:
- Error: register required
-
- indicates that you should upgrade to a newer version of the binutils.
-
-Blackfin
-========
-
-The Blackfin processor, an Analog Devices DSP. *Note Blackfin Options:
-(gcc)Blackfin Options,
-
- More information, and a version of binutils with support for this
-processor, is available at <http://blackfin.uclinux.org>
-
-CR16
-====
-
-The CR16 CompactRISC architecture is a 16-bit architecture. This
-architecture is used in embedded applications.
-
- *Note CR16 Options: (gcc)CR16 Options,
-
- Use 'configure --target=cr16-elf --enable-languages=c,c++' to
-configure GCC for building a CR16 elf cross-compiler.
-
- Use 'configure --target=cr16-uclinux --enable-languages=c,c++' to
-configure GCC for building a CR16 uclinux cross-compiler.
-
-CRIS
-====
-
-CRIS is the CPU architecture in Axis Communications ETRAX
-system-on-a-chip series. These are used in embedded applications.
-
- *Note CRIS Options: (gcc)CRIS Options, for a list of CRIS-specific
-options.
-
- There are a few different CRIS targets:
-'cris-axis-elf'
- Mainly for monolithic embedded systems. Includes a multilib for
- the 'v10' core used in 'ETRAX 100 LX'.
-'cris-axis-linux-gnu'
- A GNU/Linux port for the CRIS architecture, currently targeting
- 'ETRAX 100 LX' by default.
-
- For 'cris-axis-elf' you need binutils 2.11 or newer. For
-'cris-axis-linux-gnu' you need binutils 2.12 or newer.
-
- Pre-packaged tools can be obtained from
-<ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub/axis/tools/cris/compiler-kit/>. More
-information about this platform is available at
-<http://developer.axis.com/>.
-
-DOS
-===
-
-Please have a look at the binaries page.
-
- You cannot install GCC by itself on MSDOS; it will not compile under
-any MSDOS compiler except itself. You need to get the complete
-compilation package DJGPP, which includes binaries as well as sources,
-and includes all the necessary compilation tools and libraries.
-
-epiphany-*-elf
-==============
-
-Adapteva Epiphany. This configuration is intended for embedded systems.
-
-*-*-freebsd*
-============
-
-Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. Support for FreeBSD
-2 (and any mutant a.out variants of FreeBSD 3) was discontinued in GCC
-4.0.
-
- In order to better utilize FreeBSD base system functionality and
-match the configuration of the system compiler, GCC 4.5 and above as
-well as GCC 4.4 past 2010-06-20 leverage SSP support in libc (which is
-present on FreeBSD 7 or later) and the use of '__cxa_atexit' by default
-(on FreeBSD 6 or later). The use of 'dl_iterate_phdr' inside
-'libgcc_s.so.1' and boehm-gc (on FreeBSD 7 or later) is enabled by GCC
-4.5 and above.
-
- We support FreeBSD using the ELF file format with DWARF 2 debugging
-for all CPU architectures. You may use '-gstabs' instead of '-g', if
-you really want the old debugging format. There are no known issues
-with mixing object files and libraries with different debugging formats.
-Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more of the
-configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC. In
-particular, '--enable-threads' is now configured by default. However,
-as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system compiler with
-this release. Known to bootstrap and check with good results on FreeBSD
-7.2-STABLE. In the past, known to bootstrap and check with good results
-on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8, 4.9 and 5-CURRENT.
-
- The version of binutils installed in '/usr/bin' probably works with
-this release of GCC. Bootstrapping against the latest GNU binutils
-and/or the version found in '/usr/ports/devel/binutils' has been known
-to enable additional features and improve overall testsuite results.
-However, it is currently known that boehm-gc (which itself is required
-for java) may not configure properly on FreeBSD prior to the FreeBSD 7.0
-release with GNU binutils after 2.16.1.
-
-h8300-hms
-=========
-
-Renesas H8/300 series of processors.
-
- Please have a look at the binaries page.
-
- The calling convention and structure layout has changed in release
-2.6. All code must be recompiled. The calling convention now passes
-the first three arguments in function calls in registers. Structures
-are no longer a multiple of 2 bytes.
-
-hppa*-hp-hpux*
-==============
-
-Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
-
- We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or
-later is recommended.
-
- It may be helpful to configure GCC with the '--with-gnu-as' and
-'--with-as=...' options to ensure that GCC can find GAS.
-
- The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and
-may not work. It shouldn't be used with any languages other than C due
-to its many limitations.
-
- Specifically, '-g' does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging
-format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps into
-each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail
-during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying 'make
-all-host all-target' after getting the failure from 'make'.
-
- Various GCC features are not supported. 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.
-
- 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 'hppa1*' machine.
-
- 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.
-
- 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. This problem can be avoided in a number
-of ways. With HP cc, 'UNIX_STD' can be set to '95' or '98'. Another
-way is to add an appropriate set of predefines to 'CC'. The description
-for the 'munix=' option contains a list of the predefines used with each
-standard.
-
- More specific information to 'hppa*-hp-hpux*' targets follows.
-
-hppa*-hp-hpux10
-===============
-
-For hpux10.20, we _highly_ recommend you pick up the latest sed patch
-'PHCO_19798' from HP.
-
- The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0. COMDAT subspaces
-are used for one-only code and data. This resolves many of the previous
-problems in using C++ on this target. However, the ABI is not
-compatible with the one implemented under HP-UX 11 using secondary
-definitions.
-
-hppa*-hp-hpux11
-===============
-
-GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot
-be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up.
-
- The libffi and libjava libraries haven't been ported to 64-bit
-HP-UX and don't build.
-
- Refer to binaries for information about obtaining precompiled GCC
-binaries for HP-UX. 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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
-'--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"' option in your configure command.
-
- 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.
-
- 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 'hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*' target generates code for the
-32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker. The
-'hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target generates 64-bit code for the PA-RISC 2.0
-architecture.
-
- The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the
-compiler detected during configuration. You must define 'PATH' or 'CC'
-so that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial
-bootstrap. When 'CC' is used, the definition should contain the options
-that are needed whenever 'CC' is used.
-
- Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be
-in 'CC' to correctly select the target for the build. It is also
-convenient to place many other compiler options in 'CC'. For example,
-'CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"' can be
-used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in 64-bit
-K&R/bundled mode. The '+DA2.0W' option will result in the automatic
-selection of the 'hppa64-hp-hpux11*' 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 '-Ac' option.
-These defines aren't necessary with '-Ae'.
-
- It is best to explicitly configure the 'hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target
-with the '--with-ld=...' 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.
-
- A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of
-GCC 3.3 and later. 'PHSS_26559' and 'PHSS_24304' are the oldest linker
-patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11,
-respectively. 'PHSS_24303', the companion to 'PHSS_24304', 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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 '+init' and '+fini' 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.
-
- Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the
-'hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target, it is strongly recommended that the HP
-linker be used for link editing on this target.
-
- 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
-'-static', 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.
-
- 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 '--disable-symvers' when using GNU ld.
-
- POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is
-not supported, so '--enable-threads=dce' does not work.
-
-*-*-linux-gnu
-=============
-
-Versions of libstdc++-v3 starting with 3.2.1 require bug fixes present
-in glibc 2.2.5 and later. More information is available in the
-libstdc++-v3 documentation.
-
-i?86-*-linux*
-=============
-
-As of GCC 3.3, binutils 2.13.1 or later is required for this platform.
-See bug 10877 for more information.
-
- If you receive Signal 11 errors when building on GNU/Linux, then it
-is possible you have a hardware problem. Further information on this
-can be found on www.bitwizard.nl.
-
-i?86-*-solaris2.9
-=================
-
-The Sun assembler in Solaris 9 has several bugs and limitations. While
-GCC works around them, several features are missing, so it is
-recommended to use the GNU assembler instead. There is no bundled
-version, but the current version, from GNU binutils 2.22, is known to
-work.
-
- Solaris 2/x86 doesn't support the execution of SSE/SSE2 instructions
-before Solaris 9 4/04, even if the CPU supports them. Programs will
-receive 'SIGILL' if they try. The fix is available both in Solaris 9
-Update 6 and kernel patch 112234-12 or newer. To avoid this problem,
-'-march' defaults to 'pentiumpro' on Solaris 9. If you have the patch
-installed, you can configure GCC with an appropriate '--with-arch'
-option, but need GNU 'as' for SSE2 support.
-
-i?86-*-solaris2.10
-==================
-
-Use this for Solaris 10 or later on x86 and x86-64 systems. Starting
-with GCC 4.7, there is also a 64-bit 'amd64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*' or
-'x86_64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*' configuration that corresponds to
-'sparcv9-sun-solaris2*'.
-
- It is recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler, in
-'/usr/sfw/bin/gas'. The versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU
-binutils 2.15, and Solaris 11, from GNU binutils 2.19, work fine,
-although the current version, from GNU binutils 2.22, is known to work,
-too. Recent versions of the Sun assembler in '/usr/ccs/bin/as' work
-almost as well, though.
-
- For linking, the Sun linker, is preferred. If you want to use the
-GNU linker instead, which is available in '/usr/sfw/bin/gld', note that
-due to a packaging bug the version in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils
-2.15, cannot be used, while the version in Solaris 11, from GNU binutils
-2.19, works, as does the latest version, from GNU binutils 2.22.
-
- To use GNU 'as', configure with the options '--with-gnu-as
---with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas'. It may be necessary to configure with
-'--without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld' to guarantee use of Sun
-'ld'.
-
-ia64-*-linux
-============
-
-IA-64 processor (also known as IPF, or Itanium Processor Family) running
-GNU/Linux.
-
- If you are using the installed system libunwind library with
-'--with-system-libunwind', then you must use libunwind 0.98 or later.
-
- None of the following versions of GCC has an ABI that is compatible
-with any of the other versions in this list, with the exception that Red
-Hat 2.96 and Trillian 000171 are compatible with each other: 3.1, 3.0.2,
-3.0.1, 3.0, Red Hat 2.96, and Trillian 000717. This primarily affects
-C++ programs and programs that create shared libraries. GCC 3.1 or
-later is recommended for compiling linux, the kernel. As of version 3.1
-GCC is believed to be fully ABI compliant, and hence no more major ABI
-changes are expected.
-
-ia64-*-hpux*
-============
-
-Building GCC on this target requires the GNU Assembler. The bundled HP
-assembler will not work. To prevent GCC from using the wrong assembler,
-the option '--with-gnu-as' may be necessary.
-
- The GCC libunwind library has not been ported to HPUX. This means
-that for GCC versions 3.2.3 and earlier, '--enable-libunwind-exceptions'
-is required to build GCC. For GCC 3.3 and later, this is the default.
-For gcc 3.4.3 and later, '--enable-libunwind-exceptions' is removed and
-the system libunwind library will always be used.
-
-aarch64*-*-*
-============
-
-Pre 2.24 binutils does not have support for selecting -mabi and does not
-support ILP32. If GCC 4.9 or later is built with pre 2.24, GCC will not
-support option -mabi=ilp32.
-
-*-ibm-aix*
-==========
-
-Support for AIX version 3 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
-Support for AIX version 4.2 and older was discontinued in GCC 4.5.
-
- "out of memory" bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with
-process resource limits (ulimit). Hard limits are configured in the
-'/etc/security/limits' system configuration file.
-
- GCC can bootstrap with recent versions of IBM XLC, but bootstrapping
-with an earlier release of GCC is recommended. Bootstrapping with XLC
-requires a larger data segment, which can be enabled through the
-LDR_CNTRL environment variable, e.g.,
-
- % LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x50000000
- % export LDR_CNTRL
-
- One can start with a pre-compiled version of GCC to build from
-sources. One may delete GCC's "fixed" header files when starting with a
-version of GCC built for an earlier release of AIX.
-
- To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing
-GCC, one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX '/bin/sh', e.g.,
-
- % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash
- % export CONFIG_SHELL
-
- and then proceed as described in the build instructions, where we
-strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
-SRCDIR/configure.
-
- Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default,
-(although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries
-required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR as
-static archive libraries works better than shared libraries.
-
- Errors involving 'alloca' when building GCC generally are due to an
-incorrect definition of 'CC' in the Makefile or mixing files compiled
-with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of the
-build, the native AIX compiler *must* be invoked as 'cc' (not 'xlc').
-Once 'configure' has been informed of 'xlc', one needs to use 'make
-distclean' to remove the configure cache files and ensure that 'CC'
-environment variable does not provide a definition that will confuse
-'configure'. If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the
-problem most likely is the version of Make (see above).
-
- The native 'as' and 'ld' are recommended for bootstrapping on AIX.
-The GNU Assembler, GNU Linker, and GNU Binutils version 2.20 is the
-minimum level that supports bootstrap on AIX 5. The GNU Assembler has
-not been updated to support AIX 6 or AIX 7. The native AIX tools do
-interoperate with GCC.
-
- AIX 5.3 TL10, AIX 6.1 TL05 and AIX 7.1 TL00 introduced an AIX
-assembler change that sometimes produces corrupt assembly files causing
-AIX linker errors. The bug breaks GCC bootstrap on AIX and can cause
-compilation failures with existing GCC installations. An AIX iFix for
-AIX 5.3 is available (APAR IZ98385 for AIX 5.3 TL10, APAR IZ98477 for
-AIX 5.3 TL11 and IZ98134 for AIX 5.3 TL12). AIX 5.3 TL11 SP8, AIX 5.3
-TL12 SP5, AIX 6.1 TL04 SP11, AIX 6.1 TL05 SP7, AIX 6.1 TL06 SP6, AIX 6.1
-TL07 and AIX 7.1 TL01 should include the fix.
-
- Building 'libstdc++.a' requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug APAR
-IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). It also requires a fix for
-another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix referenced
-as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or as APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1)
-
- 'libstdc++' in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the
-shared object and GCC installation places the 'libstdc++.a' shared
-library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC 3.3
-version of the shared library. Applications either need to be re-linked
-against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 and GCC 3.3 versions of
-the 'libstdc++' shared object needs to be available to the AIX runtime
-loader. The GCC 3.1 'libstdc++.so.4', if present, and GCC 3.3
-'libstdc++.so.5' shared objects can be installed for runtime dynamic
-loading using the following steps to set the 'F_LOADONLY' flag in the
-shared object for _each_ multilib 'libstdc++.a' installed:
-
- Extract the shared objects from the currently installed 'libstdc++.a'
-archive:
- % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5
-
- Enable the 'F_LOADONLY' flag so that the shared object will be
-available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking:

- % ar -q libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5
-
- Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of
-duplicate symbols. The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always
-have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable
-and function declarations in the original program. The warnings should
-not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable
-executable.
-
- AIX 4.3 utilizes a "large format" archive to support both 32-bit and
-64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1
-to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly.
-These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during
-linking such as "not a COFF file". The version of the routines shipped
-with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The '-g' option of
-the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit objects
-using the original "small format". A correct version of the routines is
-shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above.
-
- Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation
-overflow severe error when the '-bbigtoc' option is used to link
-GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC. A
-fix for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC)
-is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
-techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.
-
- The AIX 4.3.2.1 linker (bos.rte.bind_cmds Level 4.3.2.1) will dump
-core with a segmentation fault when invoked by any version of GCC. A
-fix for APAR IX87327 is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
-techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U461879. This fix is
-incorporated in AIX 4.3.3 and above.
-
- The initial assembler shipped with AIX 4.3.0 generates incorrect
-object files. A fix for APAR IX74254 (64BIT DISASSEMBLED OUTPUT FROM
-COMPILER FAILS TO ASSEMBLE/BIND) is available from IBM Customer Support
-and from its techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U453956. This
-fix is incorporated in AIX 4.3.1 and above.
-
- AIX provides National Language Support (NLS). Compilers and
-assemblers use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various
-data formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., '.' vs ',' for
-separating decimal fractions). There have been problems reported where
-GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats that the assembler
-expects. If one encounters this problem, set the 'LANG' environment
-variable to 'C' or 'En_US'.
-
- A default can be specified with the '-mcpu=CPU_TYPE' switch and using
-the configure option '--with-cpu-CPU_TYPE'.

-========
-
-By default, 'm68k-*-elf*', 'm68k-*-rtems', 'm68k-*-uclinux' and
-'m68k-*-linux' build libraries for both M680x0 and ColdFire processors.
-If you only need the M680x0 libraries, you can omit the ColdFire ones by
-passing '--with-arch=m68k' to 'configure'. Alternatively, you can omit
-the M680x0 libraries by passing '--with-arch=cf' to 'configure'. These
-targets default to 5206 or 5475 code as appropriate for the target
-system when configured with '--with-arch=cf' and 68020 code otherwise.
-
- The 'm68k-*-netbsd' and 'm68k-*-openbsd' targets also support the
-'--with-arch' option. They will generate ColdFire CFV4e code when
-configured with '--with-arch=cf' and 68020 code otherwise.
-
- You can override the default processors listed above by configuring
-with '--with-cpu=TARGET'. This TARGET can either be a '-mcpu' argument
-or one of the following values: 'm68000', 'm68010', 'm68020', 'm68030',
-'m68040', 'm68060', 'm68020-40' and 'm68020-60'.

-mips-*-*
-========
-
-If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying "does not have gp
-sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]", don't worry about it. This
-happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not
-really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can
-stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker.
-
- It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are
-optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence.
-
- The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS
-II and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to make
-'mips*-*-*' use the generic implementation instead. You can also
-configure for 'mipsel-elf' as a workaround. The 'mips*-*-linux*' target
-continues to use the MIPS II routines. More work on this is expected in
-future releases.
-
- The built-in '__sync_*' functions are available on MIPS II and later
-systems and others that support the 'll', 'sc' and 'sync' instructions.
-This can be overridden by passing '--with-llsc' or '--without-llsc' when
-configuring GCC. Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if
-they are missing, the default for 'mips*-*-linux*' targets is
-'--with-llsc'. The '--with-llsc' and '--without-llsc' configure options
-may be overridden at compile time by passing the '-mllsc' or '-mno-llsc'
-options to the compiler.
-
- MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless
-'-mno-check-zero-division' is passed to the compiler) by generating
-either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using trap results in
-smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and later. Also, some
-versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that prevents trap from
-generating the proper signal ('SIGFPE'). To enable the use of break,
-use the '--with-divide=breaks' 'configure' option when configuring GCC.
-The default is to use traps on systems that support them.
-
- The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way
-it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause
-bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker from
-GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the runtime
-linker stubs in very large programs, like 'libgcj.so', to be incorrectly
-generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots made after Nov.
-9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems.

-*-*-solaris2*
-=============
-
-Support for Solaris 9 has been obsoleted in GCC 4.9, but can still be
-enabled by configuring with '--enable-obsolete'. Support will be
-removed in GCC 4.10. Support for Solaris 8 has removed in GCC 4.8.
-Support for Solaris 7 has been removed in GCC 4.6.
-
- Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2 before Solaris 10,
-though you can download the Sun Studio compilers for free. In Solaris
-10 and 11, GCC 3.4.3 is available as '/usr/sfw/bin/gcc'. Solaris 11
-also provides GCC 4.5.2 as '/usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc'. Alternatively, you
-can install a pre-built GCC to bootstrap and install GCC. See the
-binaries page for details.
-
- The Solaris 2 '/bin/sh' will often fail to configure 'libstdc++-v3',
-'boehm-gc' or 'libjava'. We therefore recommend using the following
-initial sequence of commands
-
- % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
- % export CONFIG_SHELL
-
-and proceed as described in the configure instructions. In addition we
-strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
-'SRCDIR/configure'.
-
- Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
-are needed to use GCC fully, namely 'SUNWarc', 'SUNWbtool', 'SUNWesu',
-'SUNWhea', 'SUNWlibm', 'SUNWsprot', and 'SUNWtoo'. 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.
-
- To check whether an optional package is installed, use the 'pkginfo'
-command. To add an optional package, use the 'pkgadd' command. For
-further details, see the Solaris 2 documentation.
-
- Trying to use the linker and other tools in '/usr/ucb' to install GCC
-has been observed to cause trouble. For example, the linker may hang
-indefinitely. The fix is to remove '/usr/ucb' from your 'PATH'.
-
- The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so,
-if you have '/usr/xpg4/bin' in your 'PATH', we recommend that you place
-'/usr/bin' before '/usr/xpg4/bin' for the duration of the build.
-
- We recommend the use of the Sun assembler or the GNU assembler, in
-conjunction with the Sun linker. The GNU 'as' 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 '/usr/sfw/bin/gas'.
-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 'as' + Sun 'ld' should
-reasonably work, the reverse combination Sun 'as' + GNU 'ld' may fail to
-build or cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++
-programs. GNU 'ld' 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 'ld'. To use the LTO linker plugin
-('-fuse-linker-plugin') with GNU 'ld', GNU binutils _must_ be configured
-with '--enable-largefile'.
-
- To enable symbol versioning in 'libstdc++' with Sun 'ld', you need to
-have any version of GNU 'c++filt', which is part of GNU binutils.
-'libstdc++' symbol versioning will be disabled if no appropriate version
-is found. Sun 'c++filt' from the Sun Studio compilers does _not_ work.
-
- Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or
-newer: 'g++' will complain that types are missing. These headers assume
-that omitting the type means 'int'; this assumption worked for C90 but
-is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also.
-
- 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 'expect' program
-which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug causes the
-'expect' program to miss anticipated output, extra testsuite failures
-appear.
-
- There are patches for Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for SPARC,
-117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem.
-
- Thread-local storage (TLS) is supported in Solaris 9, but requires
-some patches. The 'libthread' patches provide the '__tls_get_addr'
-(SPARC, 64-bit x86) resp. '___tls_get_addr' (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 'ld' and
-runtime linker ('ld.so.1') support, while Solaris 9/SPARC works since
-FCS. The linker patches must be installed even if GNU 'ld' is used. Sun
-'as' in Solaris 9 doesn't support the necessary relocations, so GNU 'as'
-must be used. The 'configure' 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.
-
-sparc*-*-*
-==========
-
-This section contains general configuration information for all
-SPARC-based platforms. In addition to reading this section, please read
-all other sections that match your target.
-
- Newer versions of the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP), the MPFR
-library and the MPC library are known to be miscompiled by earlier
-versions of GCC on these platforms. We therefore recommend the use of
-the exact versions of these libraries listed as minimal versions in the
-prerequisites.
-
-sparc-sun-solaris2*
-===================
-
-When GCC is configured to use GNU binutils 2.14 or later, the binaries
-produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools;
-this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging
-information.
-
- Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
-64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports this; the
-'-m64' option enables 64-bit code generation. However, if all you want
-is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the
-'-mtune=ultrasparc' option instead, which produces code that, unlike
-full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC machines.
-
- When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a
-kernel that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with
-'--disable-multilib', since we will not be able to build the 64-bit
-target libraries.
-
- GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions
-of the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the
-miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the
-bootstrap process. A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary
-stage, i.e. to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then
-use it to bootstrap the final compiler.
-
- GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE
-Studio 7) and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes a
-bootstrap failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler by
-the Sun compiler. This is Sun bug 4974440. This is fixed with patch
-112760-07.
-
- GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from Stabs to DWARF-2
-for 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later. If you use the Sun assembler,
-this change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is
-referenced as an x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not
-use DWARF-2). A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++
-programs like 'groff' 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the
-following:
-
- ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: ...
- external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section
- .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored.
-
-To work around this problem, compile with '-gstabs+' instead of plain
-'-g'.
-
- When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP), the MPFR
-library or the MPC library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical
-target triplet must be specified as the 'build' parameter on the
-configure line. This target triplet can be obtained by invoking
-'./config.guess' in the toplevel source directory of GCC (and not that
-of GMP or MPFR or MPC). For example on a Solaris 9 system:
-
- % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.9 --prefix=xxx
-
-sparc-sun-solaris2.10
-=====================
-
-There is a bug in older versions of the Sun assembler which breaks
-thread-local storage (TLS). A typical error message is
-
- ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_TLS_LE_HIX22: file /var/tmp//ccamPA1v.o:
- symbol <unknown>: bad symbol type SECT: symbol type must be TLS
-
-This bug is fixed in Sun patch 118683-03 or later.
-
-sparc-*-linux*
-==============
-
-GCC versions 3.0 and higher require binutils 2.11.2 and glibc 2.2.4 or
-newer on this platform. All earlier binutils and glibc releases
-mishandled unaligned relocations on 'sparc-*-*' targets.
-
-sparc64-*-solaris2*
-===================
-
-When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP), the MPFR
-library or the MPC library, the canonical target triplet must be
-specified as the 'build' parameter on the configure line. For example
-on a Solaris 9 system:
-
- % ./configure --build=sparc64-sun-solaris2.9 --prefix=xxx
-
- The following compiler flags must be specified in the configure step
-in order to bootstrap this target with the Sun compiler:
-
- % CC="cc -xarch=v9 -xildoff" SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
-
-'-xarch=v9' specifies the SPARC-V9 architecture to the Sun toolchain and
-'-xildoff' turns off the incremental linker.
-
-sparcv9-*-solaris2*

-*-*-vxworks*
-============
-
-Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports _only_ the very
-recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC. We
-welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.
-Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely
-a matter of writing an appropriate "configlette" (see below). We are
-not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of
-VxWorks in GCC 3.
-
- VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in
-'$WIND_BASE/host'; we recommend you do not overwrite it. Choose an
-installation PREFIX entirely outside $WIND_BASE. Before running
-'configure', create the directories 'PREFIX' and 'PREFIX/bin'. Link or
-copy the appropriate assembler, linker, etc. into 'PREFIX/bin', and set
-your PATH to include that directory while running both 'configure' and
-'make'.
-
- You must give 'configure' the '--with-headers=$WIND_BASE/target/h'
-switch so that it can find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is
-a cross compilation target only, you must also specify
-'--target=TARGET'. 'configure' will attempt to create the directory
-'PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' and copy files into it; make sure the user
-running 'configure' has sufficient privilege to do so.
-
- GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special "configlette"
-module, 'contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c'. Follow the instructions in that
-file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of
-VxWorks will incorporate this module.)
-
-x86_64-*-*, amd64-*-*
-=====================
-
-GCC supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64 processor
-(amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
-On GNU/Linux the default is a bi-arch compiler which is able to generate
-both 64-bit x86-64 and 32-bit x86 code (via the '-m32' switch).
-
-x86_64-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*
-=========================
-
-GCC also supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64
-processor ('amd64-*-*' is an alias for 'x86_64-*-*') on Solaris 10 or
-later. Unlike other systems, without special options a bi-arch compiler
-is built which generates 32-bit code by default, but can generate 64-bit
-x86-64 code with the '-m64' switch. Since GCC 4.7, there is also
-configuration that defaults to 64-bit code, but can generate 32-bit code
-with '-m32'. To configure and build this way, you have to provide all
-support libraries like 'libgmp' as 64-bit code, configure with
-'--target=x86_64-pc-solaris2.1x' and 'CC=gcc -m64'.

-xtensa*-*-elf
-=============
-
-This target is intended for embedded Xtensa systems using the 'newlib' C
-library. It uses ELF but does not support shared objects.
-Designed-defined instructions specified via the Tensilica Instruction
-Extension (TIE) language are only supported through inline assembly.
-
- The Xtensa configuration information must be specified prior to

-configuration information. If you created your own Xtensa configuration
-with the Xtensa Processor Generator, the downloaded files include a
-customized copy of this header file, which you can use to replace the
-default header file.
-
-xtensa*-*-linux*
-================
-
-This target is for Xtensa systems running GNU/Linux. It supports ELF
-shared objects and the GNU C library (glibc). It also generates

-
-Intel 32-bit versions
----------------------
-
-The 32-bit versions of Windows, including Windows 95, Windows NT,
-Windows XP, and Windows Vista, are supported by several different target
-platforms. These targets differ in which Windows subsystem they target
-and which C libraries are used.
-
- * Cygwin *-*-cygwin: Cygwin provides a user-space Linux API emulation
- layer in the Win32 subsystem.
- * Interix *-*-interix: The Interix subsystem provides native support
- for POSIX.
- * MinGW *-*-mingw32: MinGW is a native GCC port for the Win32
- subsystem that provides a subset of POSIX.
- * MKS i386-pc-mks: NuTCracker from MKS. See
- <http://www.mkssoftware.com/> for more information.
-
-Intel 64-bit versions
----------------------
-
-GCC contains support for x86-64 using the mingw-w64 runtime library,
-available from <http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/>. This library should
-be used with the target triple x86_64-pc-mingw32.
-
- Presently Windows for Itanium is not supported.

-Windows CE
-----------
-
-Windows CE is supported as a target only on Hitachi SuperH
-(sh-wince-pe), and MIPS (mips-wince-pe).
-
-Other Windows Platforms
------------------------
-
-GCC no longer supports Windows NT on the Alpha or PowerPC.
-
- GCC no longer supports the Windows POSIX subsystem. However, it does
-support the Interix subsystem. See above.
-
- Old target names including *-*-winnt and *-*-windowsnt are no longer
-used.
-
- PW32 (i386-pc-pw32) support was never completed, and the project
-seems to be inactive. See <http://pw32.sourceforge.net/> for more
-information.
-
- UWIN support has been removed due to a lack of maintenance.
-
-*-*-cygwin
-==========
-
-Ports of GCC are included with the Cygwin environment.
-
- GCC will build under Cygwin without modification; it does not build
-with Microsoft's C++ compiler and there are no plans to make it do so.
-
- The Cygwin native compiler can be configured to target any 32-bit x86
-cpu architecture desired; the default is i686-pc-cygwin. It should be
-used with as up-to-date a version of binutils as possible; use either
-the latest official GNU binutils release in the Cygwin distribution, or
-version 2.20 or above if building your own.
-
-*-*-interix
-===========
-
-The Interix target is used by OpenNT, Interix, Services For UNIX (SFU),
-and Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). Applications compiled
-with this target run in the Interix subsystem, which is separate from
-the Win32 subsystem. This target was last known to work in GCC 3.3.
-
-*-*-mingw32
-===========
-
-GCC will build with and support only MinGW runtime 3.12 and later.
-Earlier versions of headers are incompatible with the new default
-semantics of 'extern inline' in '-std=c99' and '-std=gnu99' modes.
-
-Older systems
-=============
-
-GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early 1990s) Unix
-variants. For the most part, support for these systems has not been
-deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for several years
-and may suffer from bitrot.
-
- Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of "obsoleted"
-systems. Support for these systems is still present in that release,
-but 'configure' will fail unless the '--enable-obsolete' option is
-given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these systems
-will be removed from the next release of GCC.
-
- Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
-workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
-cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to
-bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
-require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
-system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the
-vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the
-'old-releases' directory on the GCC mirror sites. Header bugs may
-generally be avoided using 'fixincludes', but bugs or deficiencies in
-libraries and the operating system may still cause problems.
-
- Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
-problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast
-wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of
-the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last version
-before they were removed), patches following the usual requirements
-would be likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support
-for more modern targets.
-
- For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
-and are available from 'pub/binutils/old-releases' on sourceware.org
-mirror sites.
-
- Some of the information on specific systems above relates to such
-older systems, but much of the information about GCC on such systems
-(which may no longer be applicable to current GCC) is to be found in the
-GCC texinfo manual.
-
-all ELF targets (SVR4, Solaris 2, etc.)
-=======================================
-
-C++ support is significantly better on ELF targets if you use the GNU
-linker; duplicate copies of inlines, vtables and template instantiations
-will be discarded automatically.

-10 Old installation documentation
-*********************************
-
-Note most of this information is out of date and superseded by the
-previous chapters of this manual. It is provided for historical
-reference only, because of a lack of volunteers to merge it into the
-main manual.
-
-* Menu:
-
-* Configurations:: Configurations Supported by GCC.
-
- Here is the procedure for installing GCC on a GNU or Unix system.
-
- 1. 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 'as', 'ld' or whatever is appropriate.
-
- Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of
- the 'PATH' environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools
- come before the standard system tools.
-
- 2. Specify the host, build and target machine configurations. You do
- this when you run the 'configure' script.
-
- The "build" machine is the system which you are using, the "host"
- machine is the system where you want to run the resulting compiler
- (normally the build machine), and the "target" machine is the
- system for which you want the compiler to generate code.
-
- 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 'configure'; 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 'configure' cannot figure out
- what your configuration is or guesses wrong.
-
- In those cases, specify the build machine's "configuration name"
- with the '--host' option; the host and target will default to be
- the same as the host machine.
-
- Here is an example:
-
- ./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
-
- A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less
- abbreviated.
-
- A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by
- dashes. It looks like this: 'CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM'. (The three
- parts may themselves contain dashes; 'configure' can figure out
- which dashes serve which purpose.) For example,
- 'm68k-sun-sunos4.1' specifies a Sun 3.
-
- You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or
- aliases. For example, 'sun3' stands for 'm68k-sun', so
- 'sun3-sunos4.1' is another way to specify a Sun 3.
-
- 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.
-
- See *note Configurations::, 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.
-
-
-File: gccinstall.info, Node: Configurations, Up: Old
-
-10.1 Configurations Supported by GCC
-====================================
-
-Here are the possible CPU types:
-
- 1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, cN, 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.
-
- Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary
-abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names.
-
- 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.
-
- The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of
-the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing just
-'CPU-SYSTEM', if it is not needed. For example, 'vax-ultrix4.2' is
-equivalent to 'vax-dec-ultrix4.2'.
-
- Here is a list of system types:
-
- 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.
-
-You can omit the system type; then 'configure' guesses the operating
-system from the CPU and company.
-
- You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not
-make a difference. For example, you can write 'bsd4.3' or 'bsd4.4' to
-distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version number is most
-needed for 'sysv3' and 'sysv4', which are often treated differently.
-
- 'linux-gnu' is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however
-GCC will also accept 'linux'. The version of the kernel in use is not
-relevant on these systems. A suffix such as 'libc1' or 'aout'
-distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed
-versions are obsolete.
-
- If you specify an impossible combination such as 'i860-dg-vms', then
-you may get an error message from 'configure', or it may ignore part of
-the information and do the best it can with the rest. 'configure'
-always prints the canonical name for the alternative that it used. GCC
-does not support all possible alternatives.
-
- Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names
-are recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the
-machine name 'sun3', mentioned above, is an alias for 'm68k-sun'.
-Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is
-popularly used for a particular machine. Here is a table of the known
-machine names:
-
- 3300, 3b1, 3bN, 7300, altos3068, altos, apollo68, att-7300,
- balance, convex-cN, crds, decstation-3100, decstation, delta,
- encore, fx2800, gmicro, hp7NN, hp8NN, hp9k2NN, hp9k3NN, hp9k7NN,
- hp9k8NN, iris4d, iris, isi68, m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe,
- mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next, pbd, pc532, pmax, powerpc,
- powerpcle, ps2, risc-news, rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3, sun4,
- symmetry, tower-32, tower.
-
-Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company
-name.

-
- Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
-
- Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- <http://fsf.org/>
-
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- 0. PREAMBLE
-
- The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
- functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
- assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
- with or without modifying it, either commercially or
- noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
- author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
- being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
-
- This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
- works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
- It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
- license designed for free software.
-
- We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
- free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
- free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
- that the software does. 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.
-
- 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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".
-
- Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
- ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
- SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
- simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
- Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
- Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and
- edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
- the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
- the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
- processors for output purposes only.
-
- 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.
-
- The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
- of the Document to the public.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 2. VERBATIM COPYING
-
- 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. You
- may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
- or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
- you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
- distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
- conditions in section 3.
-
- You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
- and you may publicly display copies.
-
- 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 4. MODIFICATIONS
-
- 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:
-
- A. 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.
-
- B. 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.
-
- C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
- Modified Version, as the publisher.
-
- D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
-
- E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
- adjacent to the other copyright notices.
-
- F. 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.
-
- G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
- Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
- license notice.
-
- H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
-
- I. 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.
-
- J. 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.
-
- K. 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.
-
- L. 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.
-
- M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
- may not be included in the Modified Version.
-
- N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
- "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
- Section.
-
- O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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."
-
- 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 8. TRANSLATION
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 9. TERMINATION
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
-
- 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
- <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/>.
-
- 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.
-
- 11. RELICENSING
-
- "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.
-
- "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.
-
- "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
- in part, as part of another Document.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
-ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
-====================================================
-
-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:
-
- Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
- 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. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
- Free Documentation License''.
-
- If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
-Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
-
- with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
- the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
- being LIST.
-
- If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
-combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
-situation.
-
- If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
-recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
-software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
-their use in free software.
