- See below for VMS systems, and modified procedures needed on other
- systems including HP, Sun, 3b1, SCO Unix and Unos.
-
- The following section says how to compile in a separate directory on
- Unix; here we assume you compile in the same directory that contains the
- source files.
- @end iftex
-
- You cannot install GNU C 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.
-
- @enumerate
- @item
- If you have built GNU CC previously in the same directory for a
- different target machine, do @samp{make distclean} to delete all files
- that might be invalid. One of the files this deletes is
- @file{Makefile}; if @samp{make distclean} complains that @file{Makefile}
- does not exist, it probably means that the directory is already suitably
- clean.
-
- @item
- On a System V release 4 system, make sure @file{/usr/bin} precedes
- @file{/usr/ucb} in @code{PATH}. The @code{cc} command in
- @file{/usr/ucb} uses libraries which have bugs.
-
- @item
- Specify the host and target machine configurations. You do this by
- running the file @file{configure} with appropriate arguments.
-
- If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs
- on, specify just one machine type, with the @samp{--target} option; the
- host type will default to be the same as the target. (For information
- on building a cross-compiler, see @ref{Cross-Compiler}.) Here is an
- example:
-
- @smallexample
- configure --target=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
- @end smallexample
-
- If you run @file{configure} without specifying configuration arguments,
- @file{configure} tries to guess the type of host you are on, and uses
- that configuration type for both host and target. So you don't need to
- specify a configuration, for building a native compiler, unless
- @file{configure} cannot figure out what your configuration is.
-
- 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: @samp{@var{cpu}-@var{company}-@var{system}}.
- (The three parts may themselves contain dashes; @file{configure}
- can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.) For example,
- @samp{m68k-sun-sunos4.1} specifies a Sun 3.
-
- You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases.
- For example, @samp{sun3} stands for @samp{m68k-sun}, so
- @samp{sun3-sunos4.1} is another way to specify a Sun 3. You can also
- use simply @samp{sun3-sunos}, since the version of SunOS is assumed by
- default to be version 4. @samp{sun3-bsd} also works, since
- @file{configure} knows that the only BSD variant on a Sun 3 is SunOS.
-
- 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.
-
- Here are the possible CPU types:
-
- @quotation
- @c gmicro, alliant, spur and tahoe omitted since they don't work.
- a29k, alpha, arm, c@var{n}, clipper, elxsi, h8300, hppa1.0, hppa1.1,
- i370, i386, i486, i860, i960, m68000, m68k, m88k, mips,
- ns32k, pyramid, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc, sparclite, vax, we32k.
- @end quotation
-
- Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary
- abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names.
-
- @c What should be done about merlin, tek*, dolphin?
- @quotation
- alliant, altos, apollo, 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.
- @end quotation
-
- The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of
- the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing
- just @samp{@var{cpu}-@var{system}}, if it is not needed. For example,
- @samp{vax-ultrix4.2} is equivalent to @samp{vax-dec-ultrix4.2}.
-
- Here is a list of system types:
-
- @quotation
- aix, acis, aos, bsd, clix, ctix, dgux, dynix,
- genix, hpux, isc, linux, luna, lynxos,
- mach, minix, newsos, osf, osfrose, riscos,
- sco, solaris, sunos, sysv, ultrix, unos, vms.
- @end quotation
-
- @noindent
- You can omit the system type; then @file{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 @samp{bsd4.3} or
- @samp{bsd4.4} to distinguish versions of BSD. In practice, the version
- number is most needed for @samp{sysv3} and @samp{sysv4}, which are often
- treated differently.
-
- If you specify an impossible combination such as @samp{i860-dg-vms},
- then you may get an error message from @file{configure}, or it may
- ignore part of the information and do the best it can with the rest.
- @file{configure} always prints the canonical name for the alternative
- that it used.
-
- Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names are
- recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the machine
- name @samp{sun3}, mentioned above, is an alias for @samp{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:
-
- @quotation
- 3300, 3b1, 3b@var{n}, 7300, altos3068, altos,
- apollo68, att-7300, balance,
- convex-c@var{n}, crds, decstation-3100,
- decstation, delta, encore,
- fx2800, gmicro, hp7@var{nn}, hp8@var{nn},
- hp9k2@var{nn}, hp9k3@var{nn}, hp9k7@var{nn},
- hp9k8@var{nn}, iris4d, iris, isi68,
- m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe,
- mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next,
- pbd, pc532, pmax, ps2, risc-news,
- rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3,
- sun4, symmetry, tower-32, tower.
- @end quotation
-
- @noindent
- Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company
- name.
-
- There are four additional options you can specify independently to
- describe variant hardware and software configurations. These are
- @samp{--with-gnu-as}, @samp{--with-gnu-ld}, @samp{--with-stabs} and
- @samp{--nfp}.
-
- @table @samp
- @item --with-gnu-as
- If you will use GNU CC with the GNU assembler (GAS), you should declare
- this by using the @samp{--with-gnu-as} option when you run
- @file{configure}.
-
- Using this option does not install GAS. It only modifies the output of
- GNU CC to work with GAS. Building and installing GAS is up to you.
-
- Conversely, if you @emph{do not} wish to use GAS and do not specify
- @samp{--with-gnu-as} when building GNU CC, it is up to you to make sure
- that GAS is not installed. GNU CC searches for a program named
- @code{as} in various directories; if the program it finds is GAS, then
- it runs GAS. If you are not sure where GNU CC finds the assembler it is
- using, try specifying @samp{-v} when you run it.
-
- The systems where it makes a difference whether you use GAS are@*
- @samp{hppa1.0-@var{any}-@var{any}}, @samp{hppa1.1-@var{any}-@var{any}},
- @samp{i386-@var{any}-sysv}, @samp{i386-@var{any}-isc},@*
- @samp{i860-@var{any}-bsd}, @samp{m68k-bull-sysv}, @samp{m68k-hp-hpux},
- @samp{m68k-sony-bsd},@*
- @samp{m68k-altos-sysv}, @samp{m68000-hp-hpux}, @samp{m68000-att-sysv},
- and @samp{mips-@var{any}}). On any other system, @samp{--with-gnu-as}
- has no effect.
-
- On the systems listed above (except for the HP-PA and for ISC on the
- 386), if you use GAS, you should also use the GNU linker (and specify
- @samp{--with-gnu-ld}).
-
- @item --with-gnu-ld
- Specify the option @samp{--with-gnu-ld} if you plan to use the GNU
- linker with GNU CC.
-
- This option does not cause the GNU linker to be installed; it just
- modifies the behavior of GNU CC to work with the GNU linker.
- Specifically, it inhibits the installation of @code{collect2}, a program
- which otherwise serves as a front-end for the system's linker on most
- configurations.
-
- @item --with-stabs
- On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you want
- GNU CC 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, GNU CC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
- prefer BSD stabs, specify @samp{--with-stabs} when you configure GNU
- CC.
-
- No matter which default you choose when you configure GNU CC, the user
- can use the @samp{-gcoff} and @samp{-gstabs+} options to specify explicitly
- the debug format for a particular compilation.
-
- @samp{--with-stabs} is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
- @samp{--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.
-
- @item --nfp
- On certain systems, you must specify whether the machine has a floating
- point unit. These systems include @samp{m68k-sun-sunos@var{n}} and
- @samp{m68k-isi-bsd}. On any other system, @samp{--nfp} currently has no
- effect, though perhaps there are other systems where it could usefully
- make a difference.
- @end table
-
- If you want to install your own homemade configuration files, you can
- use @samp{local} as the company name to access them. If you use
- configuration @samp{@var{cpu}-local}, the configuration name
- without the cpu prefix
- is used to form the configuration file names.
-
- Thus, if you specify @samp{m68k-local}, configuration uses
- files @file{local.md}, @file{local.h}, @file{local.c},
- @file{xm-local.h}, @file{t-local}, and @file{x-local}, all in the
- directory @file{config/m68k}.
-
- Here is a list of configurations that have special treatment or special
- things you must know:
-
- @table @samp
- @item alpha-*-osf1
- Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and
- are running the OSF/1 operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP
- systems. (VMS on the Alpha is not currently supported by GNU CC.)
-
- Objective C and C++ do not yet work on the Alpha. We hope to support
- C++ in version 2.6.
-
- GNU CC writes a @samp{.verstamp} directive to the assembler output file
- unless it is built as a cross-compiler. It gets the version to use from
- the system header file @file{/usr/include/stamp.h}. If you install a
- new version of OSF/1, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version
- stamp.
-
- Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers from
- 32-bit machines will not generate as efficient code as that generated
- when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many
- optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the
- target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed. Building
- cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in
- a few cases and may not work properly.
-
- @code{make compare} may fail on some versions of OSF/1 unless you add
- @samp{-save-temps} to @code{CFLAGS}. The same problem occurs on Irix
- version 5.1.1. On these systems, the name of the assembler input file
- is stored in the object file, and that makes comparison fail if it
- differs between the @code{stage1} and @code{stage2} compilations. The
- option @samp{-save-temps} forces a fixed name to be used for the
- assembler input file, instead of a randomly chosen name in @file{/tmp}.
-
- GNU CC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX
- and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB. See the
- discussion of the @samp{--with-stabs} option of @file{configure} above
- for more information on these formats and how to select them.
-
- There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line numbers
- for ECOFF format when the @samp{.align} directive is used. To work
- around this problem, GNU CC will not emit such alignment directives even
- if optimization is being performed if it is writing ECOFF format
- debugging information. Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable
- side-effect that code addresses when @samp{-O} is specified are
- different depending on whether or not @samp{-g} is also specified.
-
- To avoid this behavior, specify @samp{-gstabs+} and use GDB instead of
- DBX. DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to
- provide a fix shortly.
-
- @item a29k
- AMD Am29k-family processors. These are normally used in embedded
- applications. There are no standard Unix configurations.
- This configuration
- corresponds to AMD's standard calling sequence and binary interface
- and is compatible with other 29k tools.
-
- You may need to make a variant of the file @file{a29k.h} for your
- particular configuration.
-
- @item a29k-*-bsd
- AMD Am29050 used in a system running a variant of BSD Unix.
-
- @item elxsi-elxsi-bsd
- The Elxsi's C compiler has known limitations that prevent it from
- compiling GNU C. Please contact @code{mrs@@cygnus.com} for more details.
-
- @ignore
- @item fx80
- Alliant FX/8 computer. Note that the standard installed C compiler in
- Concentrix 5.0 has a bug which prevent it from compiling GNU CC
- correctly. You can patch the compiler bug as follows:
-
- @smallexample
- cp /bin/pcc ./pcc
- adb -w ./pcc - << EOF
- 15f6?w 6610
- EOF
- @end smallexample
-
- Then you must use the @samp{-ip12} option when compiling GNU CC
- with the patched compiler, as shown here:
-
- @smallexample
- make CC="./pcc -ip12" CFLAGS=-w
- @end smallexample
-
- Note also that Alliant's version of DBX does not manage to work with the
- output from GNU CC.
- @end ignore
-
- @item hppa*-*-*
- Using GAS is highly recommended for all HP-PA configurations. See
- @ref{PA Install} for the special procedures needed to compile GNU CC
- for the HP-PA.
-
- @item i386-*-sco
- Compilation with RCC is recommended. Also, it may be a good idea to
- link with GNU malloc instead of the malloc that comes with the system.
-
- @item i386-*-sco3.2.4
- Use this configuration for SCO release 3.2 version 4.
-
- @item i386-*-isc
- It may be good idea to link with GNU malloc instead of the malloc that
- comes with the system.
-
- @item i386-*-esix
- It may be good idea to link with GNU malloc instead of the malloc that
- comes with the system.
-
- @item i386-ibm-aix
- You need to use GAS version 2.1 or later, and and LD from
- GNU binutils version 2.2 or later.
-
- @item i386-sequent
- Go to the Berkeley universe before compiling. In addition, you probably
- need to create a file named @file{string.h} containing just one line:
- @samp{#include <strings.h>}.
-
- @item i386-sun-sunos4
- You may find that you need another version of GNU CC to begin
- bootstrapping with, since the current version when built with the
- system's own compiler seems to get an infinite loop compiling part of
- @file{libgcc2.c}. GNU CC version 2 compiled with GNU CC (any version)
- seems not to have this problem.
-
- @item i860-intel-osf1
- This is the Paragon.
- @ifset INSTALLONLY
- If you have version 1.0 of the operating system, you need to take
- special steps to build GNU CC due to peculiarities of the system. Newer
- system versions have no problem. See the section `Installation Problems'
- in the GNU CC Manual.
- @end ifset
- @ifclear INSTALLONLY
- If you have version 1.0 of the operating system,
- see @ref{Installation Problems}, for special things you need to do to
- compensate for peculiarities in the system.
- @end ifclear
-
- @item m68000-att
- AT&T 3b1, a.k.a. 7300 PC. Special procedures are needed to compile GNU
- CC with this machine's standard C compiler, due to bugs in that
- compiler. @xref{3b1 Install}. You can bootstrap it more easily with
- previous versions of GNU CC if you have them.
-
- @item m68000-hp-bsd
- HP 9000 series 200 running BSD. Note that the C compiler that comes
- with this system cannot compile GNU CC; contact @code{law@@cs.utah.edu}
- to get binaries of GNU CC for bootstrapping.
-
- @item m68k-altos
- Altos 3068. You must use the GNU assembler, linker and debugger.
- Also, you must fix a kernel bug. Details in the file @file{README.ALTOS}.
-
- @item m68k-bull-sysv
- Bull DPX/2 series 200 and 300 with BOS-2.00.45 up to BOS-2.01. GNU CC works
- either with native assembler or GNU assembler. You can use
- GNU assembler with native coff generation by providing @samp{--gas} to
- the configure script or use GNU assembler with dbx-in-coff encapsulation
- by providing @samp{--gas --stabs}. For any problem with native
- assembler or for availability of the DPX/2 port of GAS, contact
- @code{F.Pierresteguy@@frcl.bull.fr}.
-
- @item m68k-hp-hpux
- HP 9000 series 300 or 400 running HP-UX. HP-UX version 8.0 has a bug in
- the assembler that prevents compilation of GNU CC. To fix it, get patch
- PHCO_0800 from HP.
-
- In addition, @samp{--gas} does not currently work with this
- configuration. Changes in HP-UX have broken the library conversion tool
- and the linker.
-
- @item m68k-sun
- Sun 3. We do not provide a configuration file to use the Sun FPA by
- default, because programs that establish signal handlers for floating
- point traps inherently cannot work with the FPA.
-
- @item m88k-*-svr3
- Motorola m88k running the AT&T/Unisoft/Motorola V.3 reference port.
- These systems tend to use the Green Hills C, revision 1.8.5, as the
- standard C compiler. There are apparently bugs in this compiler that
- result in object files differences between stage 2 and stage 3. If this
- happens, make the stage 4 compiler and compare it to the stage 3
- compiler. If the stage 3 and stage 4 object files are identical, this
- suggests you encountered a problem with the standard C compiler; the
- stage 3 and 4 compilers may be usable.
-
- It is best, however, to use an older version of GNU CC for bootstrapping
- if you have one.
-
- @item m88k-*-dgux
- Motorola m88k running DG/UX. To build native or cross compilers on
- DG/UX, you must first change to the 88open BCS software development
- environment. This is done by issuing this command:
-
- @smallexample
- eval `sde-target m88kbcs`
- @end smallexample
-
- @item m88k-tektronix-sysv3
- Tektronix XD88 running UTekV 3.2e. Do not turn on
- optimization while building stage1 if you bootstrap with
- the buggy Green Hills compiler. Also, The bundled LAI
- System V NFS is buggy so if you build in an NFS mounted
- directory, start from a fresh reboot, or avoid NFS all together.
- Otherwise you may have trouble getting clean comparisons
- between stages.
-
- @item mips-mips-bsd
- MIPS machines running the MIPS operating system in BSD mode. It's
- possible that some old versions of the system lack the functions
- @code{memcpy}, @code{memcmp}, and @code{memset}. If your system lacks
- these, you must remove or undo the definition of
- @code{TARGET_MEM_FUNCTIONS} in @file{mips-bsd.h}.
-
- @item mips-sgi-*
- Silicon Graphics MIPS machines running IRIX. In order to compile
- GCC on an SGI the "c.hdr.lib" option must be installed from the
- CD-ROM supplied from Silicon Graphics. This is found on the 2nd
- CD in release 4.0.1.
-
- @item mips-sony-sysv
- Sony MIPS NEWS. This works in NEWSOS 5.0.1, but not in 5.0.2 (which
- uses ELF instead of COFF). Support for 5.0.2 will probably be provided
- soon by volunteers. In particular, the linker does not like the
- code generated by GCC when shared libraries are linked in.
-
- @item ns32k-encore
- Encore ns32000 system. Encore systems are supported only under BSD.
-
- @item ns32k-*-genix
- National Semiconductor ns32000 system. Genix has bugs in @code{alloca}
- and @code{malloc}; you must get the compiled versions of these from GNU
- Emacs.
-
- @item ns32k-sequent
- Go to the Berkeley universe before compiling. In addition, you probably
- need to create a file named @file{string.h} containing just one line:
- @samp{#include <strings.h>}.
-
- @item ns32k-utek
- UTEK ns32000 system (``merlin''). The C compiler that comes with this
- system cannot compile GNU CC; contact @samp{tektronix!reed!mason} to get
- binaries of GNU CC for bootstrapping.
-
- @item romp-*-aos
- @itemx romp-*-mach
- The only operating systems supported for the IBM RT PC are AOS and
- MACH. GNU CC does not support AIX running on the RT. We recommend you
- compile GNU CC with an earlier version of itself; if you compile GNU CC
- with @code{hc}, the Metaware compiler, it will work, but you will get
- mismatches between the stage 2 and stage 3 compilers in various files.
- These errors are minor differences in some floating-point constants and
- can be safely ignored; the stage 3 compiler is correct.
-
- @item rs6000-*-aix
- @strong{Read the file @file{README.RS6000} for information on how to get
- a fix for problems in the IBM assembler that interfere with GNU CC.} You
- must either obtain the new assembler or avoid using the @samp{-g}
- switch. Note that @file{Makefile.in} uses @samp{-g} by default when
- compiling @file{libgcc2.c}.
-
- The PowerPC and POWER2 architectures are now supported, but have not
- been extensively tested due to lack of appropriate systems. Only AIX is
- supported on the PowerPC.
-
- Objective C does not work on this architecture.
-
- XLC version 1.3.0.0 will miscompile @file{jump.c}. XLC version 1.3.0.1
- or later fixes this problem. We do not yet have a PTF number for this
- fix.
-
- @item vax-dec-ultrix
- Don't try compiling with Vax C (@code{vcc}). It produces incorrect code
- in some cases (for example, when @code{alloca} is used).
-
- Meanwhile, compiling @file{cp-parse.c} with pcc does not work because of
- an internal table size limitation in that compiler. To avoid this
- problem, compile just the GNU C compiler first, and use it to recompile
- building all the languages that you want to run.
- @end table
-
- Here we spell out what files will be set up by @code{configure}. Normally
- you need not be concerned with these files.
-
- @itemize @bullet
- @item
- @ifset INTERNALS
- A symbolic link named @file{config.h} is made to the top-level config
- file for the machine you will run the compiler on (@pxref{Config}).
- This file is responsible for defining information about the host
- machine. It includes @file{tm.h}.
- @end ifset
- @ifclear INTERNALS
- A symbolic link named @file{config.h} is made to the top-level config
- file for the machine you plan to run the compiler on (@pxref{Config,,The
- Configuration File, gcc.info, Using and Porting GCC}). This file is
- responsible for defining information about the host machine. It
- includes @file{tm.h}.
- @end ifclear
-
- The top-level config file is located in the subdirectory @file{config}.
- Its name is always @file{xm-@var{something}.h}; usually
- @file{xm-@var{machine}.h}, but there are some exceptions.
-
- If your system does not support symbolic links, you might want to
- set up @file{config.h} to contain a @samp{#include} command which
- refers to the appropriate file.
-
- @item
- A symbolic link named @file{tconfig.h} is made to the top-level config
- file for your target machine. This is used for compiling certain
- programs to run on that machine.
-
- @item
- A symbolic link named @file{tm.h} is made to the machine-description
- macro file for your target machine. It should be in the subdirectory
- @file{config} and its name is often @file{@var{machine}.h}.
-
- @item
- A symbolic link named @file{md} will be made to the machine description

- The standard directory for installing GNU CC is @file{/usr/local/lib}.

- language that is sure to work when you build with other non-GNU C
- compilers. In addition, building anything but C at this stage is a
- waste of time.
-
- In general, you can specify the languages to build by typing the

- words from the list @samp{c}, @samp{c++}, and @samp{objective-c}.
-
- Ignore any warnings you may see about ``statement not reached'' in

- you need to break up the statement where the problem happens.
-
- If you are building with a previous GNU C compiler, do not
- use @samp{CC=gcc} on the make command or by editing the Makefile.
- Instead, use a full pathname to specify the compiler, such as
- @samp{CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc}. This is because make might execute

-
- The command shown above builds compilers for all the supported
- languages. If you don't want them all, you can specify the languages to
- build by typing the argument @samp{LANGUAGES="@var{list}"}. @var{list}
- should contain one or more words from the list @samp{c}, @samp{c++},
- @samp{objective-c}, and @samp{proto}. Separate the words with spaces.
- @samp{proto} stands for the programs @code{protoize} and
- @code{unprotoize}; they are not a separate language, but you use
- @code{LANGUAGES} to enable or disable their installation.
-
- If you are going to build the stage 3 compiler, then you might want to
- build only the C language in stage 2.
-
- Once you have built the stage 2 compiler, if you are short of disk
- space, you can delete the subdirectory @file{stage1}.
-
- On a 68000 or 68020 system lacking floating point hardware,
- unless you have selected a @file{tm.h} file that expects by default

- make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O -msoft-float"
- @end smallexample
-
- @item
- If you wish to test the compiler by compiling it with itself one more
- time, install any other necessary GNU tools (such as GAS or the GNU

-
- @smallexample
- make stage2
- make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- This is called making the stage 3 compiler. Aside from the @samp{-B}
- option, the compiler options should be the same as when you made the
- stage 2 compiler. But the @code{LANGUAGES} option need not be the
- same. The command shown above builds compilers for all the supported
- languages; if you don't want them all, you can specify the languages to
- build by typing the argument @samp{LANGUAGES="@var{list}"}, as described
- above.
-
- Then compare the latest object files with the stage 2 object
- files---they ought to be identical, aside from time stamps (if any).
-
- On some systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible;
- they always appear ``different.'' This is currently true on Solaris and
- probably on all systems that use ELF object file format. Some other
- systems where this is so are listed below.
-
- Use this command to compare the files:
-
- @smallexample
- make compare
- @end smallexample
-
- This will mention any object files that differ between stage 2 and stage
- 3. Any difference, no matter how innocuous, indicates that the stage 2
- compiler has compiled GNU CC incorrectly, and is therefore a potentially
- @ifclear INSTALLONLY
- serious bug which you should investigate and report (@pxref{Bugs}).
- @end ifclear
- @ifset INSTALLONLY
- serious bug which you should investigate and report.
- @end ifset
-
- If your system does not put time stamps in the object files, then this
- is a faster way to compare them (using the Bourne shell):
-
- @smallexample
- for file in *.o; do
- cmp $file stage2/$file
- done
- @end smallexample
-
- If you have built the compiler with the @samp{-mno-mips-tfile} option on
- MIPS machines, you will not be able to compare the files.
-
- The Alpha stores file names of internal temporary files in the object
- files and @samp{make compare} does not know how to ignore them, so
- normally you cannot compare on the Alpha. However, if you use the
- @samp{-save-temps} option when compiling @emph{both} stage 2 and stage
- 3, this causes the same file names to be used in both stages; then you
- can do the comparison.
-
- @item
- Build the Objective C library (if you have built the Objective C

- Install the compiler driver, the compiler's passes and run-time support
- with @samp{make install}. Use the same value for @code{CC},
- @code{CFLAGS} and @code{LANGUAGES} that you used when compiling the
- files that are being installed. One reason this is necessary is that
- some versions of Make have bugs and recompile files gratuitously when
- you do this step. If you use the same variable values, those files will
- be recompiled properly.
-
- For example, if you have built the stage 2 compiler, you can use the
- following command:
-
- @smallexample
- make install CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O" LANGUAGES="@var{list}"
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- This copies the files @file{cc1}, @file{cpp} and @file{libgcc.a} to
- files @file{cc1}, @file{cpp} and @file{libgcc.a} in the directory
- @file{/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/@var{target}/@var{version}}, which is where
- the compiler driver program looks for them. Here @var{target} is the
- target machine type specified when you ran @file{configure}, and
- @var{version} is the version number of GNU CC. This naming scheme
- permits various versions and/or cross-compilers to coexist.
-
- This also copies the driver program @file{xgcc} into
- @file{/usr/local/bin/gcc}, so that it appears in typical execution
- search paths.
-
- On some systems, this command causes recompilation of some files. This
- is usually due to bugs in @code{make}. You should either ignore this

- @subsection Steps of Cross-Compilation
-
- To compile and run a program using a cross-compiler involves several
- steps:
-
- @itemize @bullet
- @item
- Run the cross-compiler on the host machine to produce assembler files
- for the target machine. This requires header files for the target
- machine.
-
- @item
- Assemble the files produced by the cross-compiler. You can do this
- either with an assembler on the target machine, or with a
- cross-assembler on the host machine.
-
- @item
- Link those files to make an executable. You can do this either with a
- linker on the target machine, or with a cross-linker on the host
- machine. Whichever machine you use, you need libraries and certain
- startup files (typically @file{crt@dots{}.o}) for the target machine.
- @end itemize
-
- It is most convenient to do all of these steps on the same host machine,
- since then you can do it all with a single invocation of GNU CC. This
- requires a suitable cross-assembler and cross-linker. For some targets,
- the GNU assembler and linker are available.
-
- @node Configure Cross
- @subsection Configuring a Cross-Compiler
-
- To build GNU CC as a cross-compiler, you start out by running
- @code{configure}. You must specify two different configurations, the
- host and the target. Use the @samp{--host=@var{host}} option for the
- host and @samp{--target=@var{target}} to specify the target type. For
- example, here is how to configure for a cross-compiler that runs on a
- hypothetical Intel 386 system and produces code for an HP 68030 system
- running BSD:
-
- @smallexample
- configure --target=m68k-hp-bsd4.3 --host=i386-bozotheclone-bsd4.3
- @end smallexample
-
- @node Tools and Libraries
- @subsection Tools and Libraries for a Cross-Compiler
-
- If you have a cross-assembler and cross-linker available, you should
- install them now. Put them in the directory
- @file{/usr/local/@var{target}/bin}. Here is a table of the tools
- you should put in this directory:
-
- @table @file
- @item as
- This should be the cross-assembler.
-
- @item ld
- This should be the cross-linker.
-
- @item ar
- This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate
- archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format.
-
- @item ranlib
- This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive file.
- @end table
-
- The installation of GNU CC 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
- and GAS. Configure them with the same @samp{--host} and @samp{--target}
- options that you use for configuring GNU CC, then build and install
- them. They install their executables automatically into the proper
- directory. Alas, they do not support all the targets that GNU CC
- supports.
-
- If you want to install libraries to use with the cross-compiler, such as
- a standard C library, put them in the directory
- @file{/usr/local/@var{target}/lib}; installation of GNU CC copies all
- all the files in that subdirectory into the proper place for GNU CC to
- find them and link with them. Here's an example of copying some
- libraries from a target machine:
-
- @example
- ftp @var{target-machine}
- lcd /usr/local/@var{target}/lib
- cd /lib
- get libc.a
- cd /usr/lib
- get libg.a
- get libm.a
- quit
- @end example
-
- @noindent
- The precise set of libraries you'll need, and their locations on
- the target machine, vary depending on its operating system.
-
- @cindex start files
- Many targets require ``start files'' such as @file{crt0.o} and
- @file{crtn.o} which are linked into each executable; these too should be
- placed in @file{/usr/local/@var{target}/lib}. There may be several
- alternatives for @file{crt0.o}, for use with profiling or other
- compilation options. Check your target's definition of
- @code{STARTFILE_SPEC} to find out what start files it uses.
- Here's an example of copying these files from a target machine:
-
- @example
- ftp @var{target-machine}
- lcd /usr/local/@var{target}/lib
- prompt
- cd /lib
- mget *crt*.o
- cd /usr/lib
- mget *crt*.o
- quit
- @end example
-
- @node Cross Runtime
- @subsection @file{libgcc.a} and Cross-Compilers
-
- Code compiled by GNU CC uses certain runtime support functions
- implicitly. Some of these functions can be compiled successfully with
- GNU CC itself, but a few cannot be. These problem functions are in the
- source file @file{libgcc1.c}; the library made from them is called
- @file{libgcc1.a}.
-
- When you build a native compiler, these functions are compiled with some
- other compiler--the one that you use for bootstrapping GNU CC.
- Presumably it knows how to open code these operations, or else knows how
- to call the run-time emulation facilities that the machine comes with.
- But this approach doesn't work for building a cross-compiler. The
- compiler that you use for building knows about the host system, not the
- target system.
-
- So, when you build a cross-compiler you have to supply a suitable
- library @file{libgcc1.a} that does the job it is expected to do.
-
- To compile @file{libgcc1.c} with the cross-compiler itself does not
- work. The functions in this file are supposed to implement arithmetic
- operations that GNU CC does not know how to open code, for your target
- machine. If these functions are compiled with GNU CC itself, they
- will compile into infinite recursion.
-
- On any given target, most of these functions are not needed. If GNU CC
- can open code an arithmetic operation, it will not call these functions
- to perform the operation. It is possible that on your target machine,
- none of these functions is needed. If so, you can supply an empty
- library as @file{libgcc1.a}.
-
- Many targets need library support only for multiplication and division.
- If you are linking with a library that contains functions for
- multiplication and division, you can tell GNU CC to call them directly
- by defining the macros @code{MULSI3_LIBCALL}, and the like. These
- macros need to be defined in the target description macro file. For
- some targets, they are defined already. This may be sufficient to
- avoid the need for libgcc1.a; if so, you can supply an empty library.
-
- Some targets do not have floating point instructions; they need other
- functions in @file{libgcc1.a}, which do floating arithmetic.
- Recent versions of GNU CC have a file which emulates floating point.
- With a certain amount of work, you should be able to construct a
- floating point emulator that can be used as @file{libgcc1.a}. Perhaps
- future versions will contain code to do this automatically and
- conveniently. That depends on whether someone wants to implement it.
-
- If your target system has another C compiler, you can configure GNU CC
- as a native compiler on that machine, build just @file{libgcc1.a} with
- @samp{make libgcc1.a} on that machine, and use the resulting file with
- the cross-compiler. To do this, execute the following on the target
- machine:
-
- @example
- cd @var{target-build-dir}
- configure --host=sparc --target=sun3
- make libgcc1.a
- @end example
-
- @noindent
- And then this on the host machine:
-
- @example
- ftp @var{target-machine}
- binary
- cd @var{target-build-dir}
- get libgcc1.a
- quit
- @end example
-
- Another way to provide the functions you need in @file{libgcc1.a} is to
- define the appropriate @code{perform_@dots{}} macros for those
- functions. If these definitions do not use the C arithmetic operators
- that they are meant to implement, you should be able to compile them
- with the cross-compiler you are building. (If these definitions already
- exist for your target file, then you are all set.)
-
- To build @file{libgcc1.a} using the perform macros, use
- @samp{LIBGCC1=libgcc1.a OLDCC=./xgcc} when building the compiler.
- Otherwise, you should place your replacement library under the name
- @file{libgcc1.a} in the directory in which you will build the
- cross-compiler, before you run @code{make}.
-
- @node Cross Headers
- @subsection Cross-Compilers and Header Files
-
- If you are cross-compiling a standalone program or a program for an
- embedded system, then you may not need any header files except the few
- that are part of GNU CC (and those of your program). However, if you
- intend to link your program with a standard C library such as
- @file{libc.a}, then you probably need to compile with the header files
- that go with the library you use.
-
- The GNU C compiler does not come with these files, because (1) they are
- system-specific, and (2) they belong in a C library, not in a compiler.
-
- If the GNU C library supports your target machine, then you can get the
- header files from there (assuming you actually use the GNU library when
- you link your program).
-
- If your target machine comes with a C compiler, it probably comes with
- suitable header files also. If you make these files accessible from the host
- machine, the cross-compiler can use them also.
-
- Otherwise, you're on your own in finding header files to use when
- cross-compiling.
-
- When you have found suitable header files, put them in
- @file{/usr/local/@var{target}/include}, before building the cross
- compiler. Then installation will run fixincludes properly and install
- the corrected versions of the header files where the compiler will use
- them.
-
- Provide the header files before you build the cross-compiler, because
- the build stage actually runs the cross-compiler to produce parts of
- @file{libgcc.a}. (These are the parts that @emph{can} be compiled with
- GNU CC.) Some of them need suitable header files.
-
- Here's an example showing how to copy the header files from a target
- machine. On the target machine, do this:
-
- @example
- (cd /usr/include; tar cf - .) > tarfile
- @end example
-
- Then, on the host machine, do this:
-
- @example
- ftp @var{target-machine}
- lcd /usr/local/@var{target}/include
- get tarfile
- quit
- tar xf tarfile
- @end example
-
- @node Build Cross
- @subsection Actually Building the Cross-Compiler
-
- Now you can proceed just as for compiling a single-machine compiler
- through the step of building stage 1. If you have not provided some
- sort of @file{libgcc1.a}, then compilation will give up at the point
- where it needs that file, printing a suitable error message. If you
- do provide @file{libgcc1.a}, then building the compiler will automatically
- compile and link a test program called @file{cross-test}; if you get
- errors in the linking, it means that not all of the necessary routines
- in @file{libgcc1.a} are available.
-
- If you are making a cross-compiler for an embedded system, and there is
- no @file{stdio.h} header for it, then the compilation of @file{enquire}
- will probably fail. The job of @file{enquire} is to run on the target
- machine and figure out by experiment the nature of its floating point
- representation. @file{enquire} records its findings in the header file
- @file{float.h}. If you can't produce this file by running
- @file{enquire} on the target machine, then you will need to come up with
- a suitable @file{float.h} in some other way (or else, avoid using it in
- your programs).
-
- Do not try to build stage 2 for a cross-compiler. It doesn't work to
- rebuild GNU CC as a cross-compiler using the cross-compiler, because
- that would produce a program that runs on the target machine, not on the
- host. For example, if you compile a 386-to-68030 cross-compiler with
- itself, the result will not be right either for the 386 (because it was
- compiled into 68030 code) or for the 68030 (because it was configured
- for a 386 as the host). If you want to compile GNU CC into 68030 code,
- whether you compile it on a 68030 or with a cross-compiler on a 386, you
- must specify a 68030 as the host when you configure it.
-
- To install the cross-compiler, use @samp{make install}, as usual.

- @section Installing on the HP Precision Architecture
-
- There are two variants of this CPU, called 1.0 and 1.1, which have
- different machine descriptions. You must use the right one for your
- machine. All 7@var{nn} machines and 8@var{n}7 machines use 1.1, while
- all other 8@var{nn} machines use 1.0.
-
- The easiest way to handle this problem is to use @samp{configure
- hp@var{nnn}} or @samp{configure hp@var{nnn}-hpux}, where @var{nnn} is
- the model number of the machine. Then @file{configure} will figure out
- if the machine is a 1.0 or 1.1. Use @samp{uname -a} to find out the
- model number of your machine.
-
- @samp{-g} does not work on HP-UX, since that system uses a peculiar
- debugging format which GNU CC does not know about. There are preliminary
- versions of GAS and GDB for the HP-PA which do work with GNU CC for
- debugging. You can get them by anonymous ftp from @code{jaguar.cs.utah.edu}
- @samp{dist} subdirectory. You would need to install GAS in the file
-
- @example
- /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/@var{configuration}/@var{gccversion}/as
- @end example
-
- @noindent
- where @var{configuration} is the configuration name (perhaps
- @samp{hp@var{nnn}-hpux}) and @var{gccversion} is the GNU CC version
- number. Do this @emph{before} starting the build process, otherwise you will
- get errors from the HPUX assembler while building @file{libgcc2.a}. The
- command
-
- @example
- make install-dir
- @end example
-
- @noindent
- will create the necessary directory hierarchy so you can install GAS before
- building GCC.
-
- If you obtained GAS before October 6, 1992 it is highly recommended you
- get a new one to avoid several bugs which have been discovered
- recently.
-
- To enable debugging, configure GNU CC with the @samp{--gas} option before
- building.
-
- It has been reported that GNU CC produces invalid assembly code for
- 1.1 machines running HP-UX 8.02 when using the HP assembler. Typically
- the errors look like this:
- @example
- as: bug.s @@line#15 [err#1060]
- Argument 0 or 2 in FARG upper
- - lookahead = ARGW1=FR,RTNVAL=GR
- as: foo.s @@line#28 [err#1060]
- Argument 0 or 2 in FARG upper
- - lookahead = ARGW1=FR
- @end example
-
- You can check the version of HP-UX you are running by executing the command
- @samp{uname -r}. If you are indeed running HP-UX 8.02 on a PA and
- using the HP assembler then configure GCC with "hp@var{nnn}-hpux8.02".

- Make sure the environment variable @code{FLOAT_OPTION} is not set when

-
- The GNU compiler does not really support the Super SPARC processor that
- is used in SPARC Station 10 and similar class machines. You can get
- code that runs by specifying @samp{sparc} as the cpu type; however, its
- performance is not very good, and may vary widely according to the
- compiler version and optimization options used. This is because the
- instruction scheduling parameters designed for the Sparc are not correct
- for the Super SPARC. Implementing scheduling parameters for the Super
- SPARC might be a good project for someone who is willing to learn a

-
- Some versions of the Sun compiler crash when compiling GNU CC. The
- problem is a segmentation fault in cpp. This problem seems to be due to
- the bulk of data in the environment variables. You may be able to avoid
- it by using the following command to compile GNU CC with Sun CC:

-
- The Unos assembler is named @code{casm} instead of @code{as}. For some
- strange reason linking @file{/bin/as} to @file{/bin/casm} changes the

- install the following script as @file{as} in the subdirectory where
- the passes of GCC are installed:
-
- @example
- #!/bin/sh

- compiler. This compiler will have the same characteristics as the usual
- stage 2 compiler on other systems. Use it to make a stage 4 compiler
- and compare that with stage 3 to verify proper compilation.
-
- (Perhaps simply defining @code{ALLOCA} in @file{x-crds} as described in

- inform us of whether this works.)
-
- Unos uses memory segmentation instead of demand paging, so you will need

- The VMS version of GNU CC is distributed in a backup saveset containing
- both source code and precompiled binaries.
-
- To install the @file{gcc} command so you can use the compiler easily, in
- the same manner as you use the VMS C compiler, you must install the VMS CLD
- file for GNU CC as follows:
-
- @enumerate
- @item
- Define the VMS logical names @samp{GNU_CC} and @samp{GNU_CC_INCLUDE}
- to point to the directories where the GNU CC executables
- (@file{gcc-cpp.exe}, @file{gcc-cc1.exe}, etc.) and the C include files are
- kept respectively. This should be done with the commands:@refill
-
- @smallexample
- $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
- disk:[gcc.] gnu_cc
- $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
- disk:[gcc.include.] gnu_cc_include
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- with the appropriate disk and directory names. These commands can be
- placed in your system startup file so they will be executed whenever
- the machine is rebooted. You may, if you choose, do this via the
- @file{GCC_INSTALL.COM} script in the @file{[GCC]} directory.
-
- @item
- Install the @file{GCC} command with the command line:
-
- @smallexample
- $ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
- /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables gnu_cc:[000000]gcc
- $ install replace sys$common:[syslib]dcltables

- @item
- To install the help file, do the following:
-
- @smallexample
- $ library/help sys$library:helplib.hlb gcc.hlp
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- Now you can invoke the compiler with a command like @samp{gcc /verbose
- file.c}, which is equivalent to the command @samp{gcc -v -c file.c} in
- Unix.
- @end enumerate
-
- If you wish to use GNU C++ you must first install GNU CC, and then
- perform the following steps:
-
- @enumerate
- @item
- Define the VMS logical name @samp{GNU_GXX_INCLUDE} to point to the
- directory where the preprocessor will search for the C++ header files.
- This can be done with the command:@refill
-
- @smallexample
- $ assign /system /translation=concealed -
- disk:[gcc.gxx_include.] gnu_gxx_include
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- with the appropriate disk and directory name. If you are going to be
- using libg++, this is where the libg++ install procedure will install
- the libg++ header files.
-
- @item
- Obtain the file @file{gcc-cc1plus.exe}, and place this in the same
- directory that @file{gcc-cc1.exe} is kept.
-
- The GNU C++ compiler can be invoked with a command like @samp{gcc /plus
- /verbose file.cc}, which is equivalent to the command @samp{g++ -v -c
- file.cc} in Unix.
- @end enumerate
-
- We try to put corresponding binaries and sources on the VMS distribution
- tape. But sometimes the binaries will be from an older version than the
- sources, because we don't always have time to update them. (Use the
- @samp{/version} option to determine the version number of the binaries and
- compare it with the source file @file{version.c} to tell whether this is
- so.) In this case, you should use the binaries you get to recompile the
- sources. If you must recompile, here is how:
-
- @enumerate
- @item
- Execute the command procedure @file{vmsconfig.com} to set up the files
- @file{tm.h}, @file{config.h}, @file{aux-output.c}, and @file{md.}, and
- to create files @file{tconfig.h} and @file{hconfig.h}. This procedure
- also creates several linker option files used by @file{make-cc1.com} and

- Setup the logical names and command tables as defined above. In
- addition, define the VMS logical name @samp{GNU_BISON} to point at the

- @smallexample
- $ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
- /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
- gnu_bison:[000000]bison

- @end smallexample
-
- @item
- Type @samp{@@make-gcc} to recompile everything (alternatively, submit
- the file @file{make-gcc.com} to a batch queue). If you wish to build
- the GNU C++ compiler as well as the GNU CC compiler, you must first edit
- @file{make-gcc.com} and follow the instructions that appear in the
- comments.@refill
-
- @item
- In order to use GCC, you need a library of functions which GCC compiled code
- will call to perform certain tasks, and these functions are defined in the
- file @file{libgcc2.c}. To compile this you should use the command procedure
- @file{make-l2.com}, which will generate the library @file{libgcc2.olb}.
- @file{libgcc2.olb} should be built using the compiler built from
- the same distribution that @file{libgcc2.c} came from, and
- @file{make-gcc.com} will automatically do all of this for you.
-
- To install the library, use the following commands:@refill
-
- @smallexample
- $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib/delete=(new,eprintf)
- $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib/delete=L_*
- $ library libgcc2/extract=*/output=libgcc2.obj
- $ library gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib libgcc2.obj
- @end smallexample
-
- The first command simply removes old modules that will be replaced with
- modules from @file{libgcc2} under different module names. The modules
- @code{new} and @code{eprintf} may not actually be present in your
- @file{gcclib.olb}---if the VMS librarian complains about those modules
- not being present, simply ignore the message and continue on with the
- next command. The second command removes the modules that came from the
- previous version of the library @file{libgcc2.c}.
-
- Whenever you update the compiler on your system, you should also update the
- library with the above procedure.
-
- @item
- You may wish to build GCC in such a way that no files are written to the
- directory where the source files reside. An example would be the when
- the source files are on a read-only disk. In these cases, execute the
- following DCL commands (substituting your actual path names):
-
- @smallexample
- $ assign dua0:[gcc.build_dir.]/translation=concealed, -
- dua1:[gcc.source_dir.]/translation=concealed gcc_build
- $ set default gcc_build:[000000]
- @end smallexample
-
- @noindent
- where the directory @file{dua1:[gcc.source_dir]} contains the source
- code, and the directory @file{dua0:[gcc.build_dir]} is meant to contain
- all of the generated object files and executables. Once you have done
- this, you can proceed building GCC as described above. (Keep in mind
- that @file{gcc_build} is a rooted logical name, and thus the device
- names in each element of the search list must be an actual physical
- device name rather than another rooted logical name).
-
- @item
- @strong{If you are building GNU CC with a previous version of GNU CC,
- you also should check to see that you have the newest version of the
- assembler}. In particular, GNU CC version 2 treats global constant
- variables slightly differently from GNU CC version 1, and GAS version
- 1.38.1 does not have the patches required to work with GCC version 2.
- If you use GAS 1.38.1, then @code{extern const} variables will not have
- the read-only bit set, and the linker will generate warning messages
- about mismatched psect attributes for these variables. These warning
- messages are merely a nuisance, and can safely be ignored.
-
- If you are compiling with a version of GNU CC older than 1.33, specify
- @samp{/DEFINE=("inline=")} as an option in all the compilations. This
- requires editing all the @code{gcc} commands in @file{make-cc1.com}.
- (The older versions had problems supporting @code{inline}.) Once you
- have a working 1.33 or newer GNU CC, you can change this file back.
-
- @item
- If you want to build GNU CC with the VAX C compiler, you will need to
- make minor changes in @file{make-cccp.com} and @file{make-cc1.com}
- to choose alternate definitions of @code{CC}, @code{CFLAGS}, and
- @code{LIBS}. See comments in those files. However, you must
- also have a working version of the GNU assembler (GNU as, aka GAS) as
- it is used as the back-end for GNU CC to produce binary object modules
- and is not included in the GNU CC sources. GAS is also needed to
- compile @file{libgcc2} in order to build @file{gcclib} (see above);
- @file{make-l2.com} expects to be able to find it operational in
- @file{gnu_cc:[000000]gnu-as.exe}.
-
- To use GNU CC on VMS, you need the VMS driver programs
- @file{gcc.exe}, @file{gcc.com}, and @file{gcc.cld}. They are
- distributed with the VMS binaries (@file{gcc-vms}) rather than the
- GNU CC sources. GAS is also included in @file{gcc-vms}, as is Bison.
-
- Once you have successfully built GNU CC with VAX C, you should use the
- resulting compiler to rebuild itself. Before doing this, be sure to
- restore the @code{CC}, @code{CFLAGS}, and @code{LIBS} definitions in
- @file{make-cccp.com} and @file{make-cc1.com}. The second generation
- compiler will be able to take advantage of many optimizations that must
- be suppressed when building with other compilers.
- @end enumerate
-
- Under previous versions of GNU CC, the generated code would occasionally
- give strange results when linked with the sharable @file{VAXCRTL} library.
- Now this should work.
-
- Even with this version, however, GNU CC itself should not be linked with
- the sharable @file{VAXCRTL}. The version of @code{qsort} in
- @file{VAXCRTL} has a bug (known to be present in VMS versions V4.6
- through V5.5) which causes the compiler to fail.
-
- The executables are generated by @file{make-cc1.com} and
- @file{make-cccp.com} use the object library version of @file{VAXCRTL} in
- order to make use of the @code{qsort} routine in @file{gcclib.olb}. If
- you wish to link the compiler executables with the shareable image
- version of @file{VAXCRTL}, you should edit the file @file{tm.h} (created
- by @file{vmsconfig.com}) to define the macro @code{QSORT_WORKAROUND}.
-
- @code{QSORT_WORKAROUND} is always defined when GNU CC is compiled with
- VAX C, to avoid a problem in case @file{gcclib.olb} is not yet

-
- The system's compiler runs out of capacity when compiling @file{stmt.c}

- first, then use that instead of the system's preprocessor with the

- cp cpp /lib/cpp.gnu
- echo '/lib/cpp.gnu -traditional $@{1+"$@@"@}' > /lib/cpp
- chmod +x /lib/cpp
- @end example
-
- The system's compiler produces bad code for some of the GNU CC
- optimization files. So you must build the stage 2 compiler without

-
- MIPS computers running RISC-OS can support four different
- personalities: default, BSD 4.3, System V.3, and System V.4
- (older versions of RISC-OS don't support V.4). To configure GCC
- for these platforms use the following configurations:
-
- @table @samp
- @item mips-mips-riscos@code{rev}

-
- The revision @code{rev} mentioned above is the revision of

- Ultrix configuration.
-
- @item decstation-osf1
- Dec's version of OSF/1.
-
- @item decstation-osfrose
- Open Software Foundation reference port of OSF/1 which uses the
- OSF/rose object file format instead of ECOFF. Normally, you
- would not select this configuration.
- @end table
-
- On Irix version 4.0.5F, and perhaps on some other versions as well,
- there is an assembler bug that reorders instructions incorrectly. To
- work around it, specify the target configuration
- @samp{mips-sgi-irix4loser}. This configuration inhibits assembler
- optimization.
-
- You can turn off assembler optimization in a compiler configured with
- target @samp{mips-sgi-irix4} using the @samp{-noasmopt} option. This
- compiler option passes the option @samp{-O0} to the assembler, to
- inhibit reordering.
-
- The @samp{-noasmopt} option can be useful for testing whether a problem
- is due to erroneous assembler reordering. Even if a problem does not go
- away with @samp{-noasmopt}, it may still be due to assembler
- reordering---perhaps GNU CC itself was miscompiled as a result.
-
- We know this is inconvenient, but it's the best that can be done at
- the last minute.
-
- @node Collect2
- @section @code{collect2}
-
- Many target systems do not have support in the assembler and linker for
- ``constructors''---initialization functions to be called before the
- official ``start'' of @code{main}. On such systems, GNU CC uses a
- utility called @code{collect2} to arrange to call these functions at
- start time.
-
- The program @code{collect2} works by linking the program once and
- looking through the linker output file for symbols with particular names
- indicating they are constructor functions. If it finds any, it
- creates a new temporary @samp{.c} file containing a table of them,
- compiles it, and links the program a second time including that file.
-
- The actual calls to the constructors are carried out by a subroutine
- called @code{__main}, which is called (automatically) at the beginning
- of the body of @code{main} (provided @code{main} was compiled with GNU
- CC).
-
- The program @code{collect2} is installed as @code{ld} in the directory
- where the passes of the compiler are installed. When @code{collect2}
- needs to find the @emph{real} @code{ld}, it tries the following file
- names:
-
- @itemize @bullet
- @item
- @file{gld} in the directories listed in the compiler's search
- directories.
-
- @item
- @file{gld} in the directories listed in the environment variable
- @code{PATH}.
-
- @item
- @file{real-ld} in the compiler's search directories.
-
- @item
- @file{real-ld} in @code{PATH}.
-
- @item
- @file{ld} in @code{PATH}.
- @end itemize
-
- ``The compiler's search directories'' means all the directories where
- @code{gcc} searches for passes of the compiler. This includes
- directories that you specify with @samp{-B}.
-
- Cross-compilers search a little differently:
-
- @itemize @bullet
- @item
- @file{gld} in the compiler's search directories.
-
- @item
- @file{@var{target}-gld} in @code{PATH}.
-
- @item
- @file{real-ld} in the compiler's search directories.
-
- @item
- @file{@var{target}-real-ld} in @code{PATH}.
-
- @item
- @file{@var{target}-ld} in @code{PATH}.
- @end itemize
-
- @code{collect2} does not search for @file{ld} using the compiler's
- search directories, because if it did, it would find itself---not the
- real @code{ld}---and this could lead to infinite recursion. However,
- the directory where @code{collect2} is installed might happen to be in
- @code{PATH}. That could lead @code{collect2} to invoke itself anyway.
- when looking for @code{ld}.
-
- To prevent this, @code{collect2} explicitly avoids running @code{ld}
- using the file name under which @code{collect2} itself was invoked. In
- fact, it remembers up to two such names---in case one copy of
- @code{collect2} finds another copy (or version) of @code{collect2}
- installed as @code{ld} in a second place in the search path.
-
- If two file names to avoid are not sufficient, you may still encounter
- an infinite recursion of @code{collect2} processes. When this happens.
- check all the files installed as @file{ld} in any of the directories
- searched, and straighten out the situation.
-
- (In a future version, we will probably change @code{collect2} to avoid
- any reinvocation of a file from which any parent @code{collect2} was
- run.)

-
- @code{GCC_INCLUDE_DIR} means the same thing for native and cross. It is
- where GNU CC stores its private include files, and also where GNU CC
- stores the fixed include files. A cross compiled GNU CC runs
- @code{fixincludes} on the header files in @file{$(tooldir)/include}.
- (If the cross compilation header files need to be fixed, they must be
- installed before GNU CC is built. If the cross compilation header files
- are already suitable for ANSI C and GNU CC, nothing special need be
- done).
-
- @code{GPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR} means the same thing for native and cross. It
- is where @code{g++} looks first for header files. @code{libg++}
- installs only target independent header files in that directory.
-
- @code{LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR} is used only for a native compiler. It is
- normally @file{/usr/local/include}. GNU CC searches this directory so
- that users can install header files in @file{/usr/local/include}.
-
- @code{CROSS_INCLUDE_DIR} is used only for a cross compiler. GNU CC
- doesn't install anything there.
-
- @code{TOOL_INCLUDE_DIR} is used for both native and cross compilers. It
- is the place for other packages to install header files that GNU CC will
- use. For a cross-compiler, this is the equivalent of
- @file{/usr/include}. When you build a cross-compiler,
- @code{fixincludes} processes any header files in this directory.
