     77    This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC
     78 as well as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
     79 
     80    GCC includes several components that previously were separate
     81 distributions with their own installation instructions.  This document
     82 supersedes all package specific installation instructions.
     83 
     84    _Before_ starting the build/install procedure please check the *Note
     85 host/target specific installation notes: Specific.  We recommend you
     86 browse the entire generic installation instructions before you proceed.
     87 
     88    Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are
     89 available at `http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html'.  These lists are
     90 updated as new information becomes available.
     91

    104 won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms.
    105 Instead, we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own
    106 and simply remove that directory when you do not need that specific
    107 version of GCC any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there
    108 as well, no more binaries exist that use them.

    113 2 Prerequisites
    114 ***************
    115 
    116    GCC requires that various tools and packages be available for use in
    117 the build procedure.  Modifying GCC sources requires additional tools
    118 described below.
    119 
    120 Tools/packages necessary for building GCC
    121 =========================================
    122 
    123 ISO C90 compiler
    124      Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior to 3.4
    125      also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler.
    126 
    127      To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration
    128      where 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with
    129      an existing GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code
    130      for language frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
    131 
    132 GNAT
    133      In order to build the Ada compiler (GNAT) you must already have
    134      GNAT installed because portions of the Ada frontend are written in
    135      Ada (with GNAT extensions.)  Refer to the Ada installation
    136      instructions for more specific information.
    137 
    138 A "working" POSIX compatible shell, or GNU bash
    139      Necessary when running `configure' because some `/bin/sh' shells
    140      have bugs and may crash when configuring the target libraries.  In
    141      other cases, `/bin/sh' or `ksh' have disastrous corner-case
    142      performance problems.  This can cause target `configure' runs to
    143      literally take days to complete in some cases.
    144 
    145      So on some platforms `/bin/ksh' is sufficient, on others it isn't.
    146      See the host/target specific instructions for your platform, or
    147      use `bash' to be sure.  Then set `CONFIG_SHELL' in your
    148      environment to your "good" shell prior to running
    149      `configure'/`make'.
    150 
    151      `zsh' is not a fully compliant POSIX shell and will not work when
    152      configuring GCC.
    153 
    154 GNU binutils
    155      Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others.  See the
    156      host/target specific instructions for your platform for the exact
    157      requirements.
    158 
    159 gzip version 1.2.4 (or later) or
    160 bzip2 version 1.0.2 (or later)
    161      Necessary to uncompress GCC `tar' files when source code is
    162      obtained via FTP mirror sites.
    163 
    164 GNU make version 3.79.1 (or later)
    165      You must have GNU make installed to build GCC.
    166 
    167 GNU tar version 1.14 (or later)
    168      Necessary (only on some platforms) to untar the source code.  Many
    169      systems' `tar' programs will also work, only try GNU `tar' if you
    170      have problems.
    171 
    172 GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.1 (or later)
    173      Necessary to build the Fortran frontend.  If you do not have it
    174      installed in your library search path, you will have to configure
    175      with the `--with-gmp' configure option.  See also `--with-gmp-lib'
    176      and `--with-gmp-include'.
    177 
    178 MPFR Library version 2.2.1 (or later)
    179      Necessary to build the Fortran frontend.  It can be downloaded from
    180      `http://www.mpfr.org/'.  The version of MPFR that is bundled with
    181      GMP 4.1.x contains numerous bugs.  Although GNU Fortran will appear
    182      to function with the buggy versions of MPFR, there are a few GNU
    183      Fortran bugs that will not be fixed when using this version.  It
    184      is strongly recommended to upgrade to the recommended version of
    185      MPFR.
    186 
    187      The `--with-mpfr' configure option should be used if your MPFR
    188      Library is not installed in your default library search path.  See
    189      also `--with-mpfr-lib' and `--with-mpfr-include'.
    190 
    191 `jar', or InfoZIP (`zip' and `unzip')
    192      Necessary to build libgcj, the GCJ runtime.
    193 
    194 
    195 Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC
    196 ==========================================
    197 
    198 autoconf versions 2.13 and 2.59
    199 GNU m4 version 1.4 (or later)
    200      Necessary when modifying `configure.ac', `aclocal.m4', etc.  to
    201      regenerate `configure' and `config.in' files.  Most directories
    202      require autoconf 2.59 (exactly), but the toplevel still requires
    203      autoconf 2.13 (exactly).
    204 
    205 automake version 1.9.6
    206      Necessary when modifying a `Makefile.am' file to regenerate its
    207      associated `Makefile.in'.
    208 
    209      Much of GCC does not use automake, so directly edit the
    210      `Makefile.in' file.  Specifically this applies to the `gcc',
    211      `intl', `libcpp', `libiberty', `libobjc' directories as well as
    212      any of their subdirectories.
    213 
    214      For directories that use automake, GCC requires the latest release
    215      in the 1.9.x series, which is currently 1.9.6.  When regenerating
    216      a directory to a newer version, please update all the directories
    217      using an older 1.9.x to the latest released version.
    218 
    219 gettext version 0.14.5 (or later)
    220      Needed to regenerate `gcc.pot'.
    221 
    222 gperf version 2.7.2 (or later)
    223      Necessary when modifying `gperf' input files, e.g.
    224      `gcc/cp/cfns.gperf' to regenerate its associated header file, e.g.
    225      `gcc/cp/cfns.h'.
    226 
    227 DejaGnu 1.4.4
    228 Expect
    229 Tcl
    230      Necessary to run the GCC testsuite; see the section on testing for
    231      details.
    232 
    233 autogen version 5.5.4 (or later) and
    234 guile version 1.4.1 (or later)
    235      Necessary to regenerate `fixinc/fixincl.x' from
    236      `fixinc/inclhack.def' and `fixinc/*.tpl'.
    237 
    238      Necessary to run `make check' for `fixinc'.
    239 
    240      Necessary to regenerate the top level `Makefile.in' file from
    241      `Makefile.tpl' and `Makefile.def'.
    242 
    243 GNU Bison version 1.28 (or later)
    244      Berkeley `yacc' (`byacc') is also reported to work other than for
    245      GCJ.
    246 
    247      Necessary when modifying `*.y' files.
    248 
    249      Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated
    250      output files are not included in the SVN repository.  They are
    251      included in releases.
    252 
    253 Flex version 2.5.4 (or later)
    254      Necessary when modifying `*.l' files.
    255 
    256      Necessary to build GCC during development because the generated
    257      output files are not included in the SVN repository.  They are
    258      included in releases.
    259 
    260 Texinfo version 4.4 (or later)
    261      Necessary for running `makeinfo' when modifying `*.texi' files to
    262      test your changes.
    263 
    264      Necessary for running `make dvi' or `make pdf' to create printable
    265      documentation in DVI or PDF format.  Texinfo version 4.8 or later
    266      is required for `make pdf'.
    267 
    268      Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the
    269      generated output files are not included in the SVN repository.
    270      They are included in releases.
    271 
    272 TeX (any working version)
    273      Necessary for running `texi2dvi' and `texi2pdf', which are used
    274      when running `make dvi' or `make pdf' to create DVI or PDF files,
    275      respectively.
    276 
    277 SVN (any version)
    278 SSH (any version)
    279      Necessary to access the SVN repository.  Public releases and weekly
    280      snapshots of the development sources are also available via FTP.
    281 
    282 Perl version 5.6.1 (or later)
    283      Necessary when regenerating `Makefile' dependencies in libiberty.
    284      Necessary when regenerating `libiberty/functions.texi'.  Necessary
    285      when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals.  Necessary when
    286      targetting Darwin, building libstdc++, and not using
    287      `--disable-symvers'.  Used by various scripts to generate some
    288      files included in SVN (mainly Unicode-related and rarely changing)
    289      from source tables.
    290 
    291 GNU diffutils version 2.7 (or later)
    292      Useful when submitting patches for the GCC source code.
    293 
    294 patch version 2.5.4 (or later)
    295      Necessary when applying patches, created with `diff', to one's own
    296      sources.

    302 3 Downloading GCC
    303 *****************
    304 
    305    GCC is distributed via SVN and FTP tarballs compressed with `gzip' or
    306 `bzip2'.  It is possible to download a full distribution or specific
    307 components.
    308 
    309    Please refer to the releases web page for information on how to
    310 obtain GCC.
    311 
    312    The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran,
    313 Java, and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers.  The full
    314 distribution also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C,
    315 Fortran, and Java.  In GCC 3.0 and later versions, the GNU compiler
    316 testsuites are also included in the full distribution.
    317 
    318    If you choose to download specific components, you must download the
    319 core GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish
    320 to use.  The core distribution includes the C language front end as
    321 well as the shared components.  Each language has a tarball which
    322 includes the language front end as well as the language runtime (when
    323 appropriate).
    324 
    325    Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific
    326 distributions in the same directory.
    327 
    328    If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
    329 installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
    330 OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or a
    331 separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any components
    332 of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler (`bfd',
    333 `binutils', `gas', `gprof', `ld', `opcodes', ...) to the directory
    334 containing the GCC sources.

    338 
    339 4 Installing GCC: Configuration
    340 *******************************
    341 
    342    Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be
    343 built.  This document describes the recommended configuration procedure
    344 for both native and cross targets.
    345 
    346    We use SRCDIR to refer to the toplevel source directory for GCC; we
    347 use OBJDIR to refer to the toplevel build/object directory.
    348 
    349    If you obtained the sources via SVN, SRCDIR must refer to the top
    350 `gcc' directory, the one where the `MAINTAINERS' can be found, and not
    351 its `gcc' subdirectory, otherwise the build will fail.
    352 
    353    If either SRCDIR or OBJDIR is located on an automounted NFS file
    354 system, the shell's built-in `pwd' command will return temporary
    355 pathnames.  Using these can lead to various sorts of build problems.
    356 To avoid this issue, set the `PWDCMD' environment variable to an
    357 automounter-aware `pwd' command, e.g., `pawd' or `amq -w', during the
    358 configuration and build phases.
    359 
    360    First, we *highly* recommend that GCC be built into a separate
    361 directory than the sources which does *not* reside within the source
    362 tree.  This is how we generally build GCC; building where SRCDIR ==
    363 OBJDIR should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building
    364 where OBJDIR is a subdirectory of SRCDIR is unsupported.
    365 
    366    If you have previously built GCC in the same directory for a
    367 different target machine, do `make distclean' to delete all files that
    368 might be invalid.  One of the files this deletes is `Makefile'; if
    369 `make distclean' complains that `Makefile' does not exist or issues a
    370 message like "don't know how to make distclean" it probably means that
    371 the directory is already suitably clean.  However, with the recommended
    372 method of building in a separate OBJDIR, you should simply use a
    373 different OBJDIR for each target.
    374 
    375    Second, when configuring a native system, either `cc' or `gcc' must
    376 be in your path or you must set `CC' in your environment before running
    377 configure.  Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.
    378 
    379    To configure GCC:
    380 
    381         % mkdir OBJDIR
    382         % cd OBJDIR
    383         % SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
    384 
    385 Target specification
    386 ====================
    387 
    388    * GCC has code to correctly determine the correct value for TARGET
    389      for nearly all native systems.  Therefore, we highly recommend you
    390      not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.
    391 
    392    * TARGET must be specified as `--target=TARGET' when configuring a
    393      cross compiler; examples of valid targets would be m68k-coff,
    394      sh-elf, etc.
    395 
    396    * Specifying just TARGET instead of `--target=TARGET' implies that
    397      the host defaults to TARGET.
    398 
    399 Options specification
    400 =====================
    401 
    402 Use OPTIONS to override several configure time options for GCC.  A list
    403 of supported OPTIONS follows; `configure --help' may list other
    404 options, but those not listed below may not work and should not
    405 normally be used.
    406 
    407    Note that each `--enable' option has a corresponding `--disable'
    408 option and that each `--with' option has a corresponding `--without'
    409 option.
    410 
    411 `--prefix=DIRNAME'
    412      Specify the toplevel installation directory.  This is the
    413      recommended way to install the tools into a directory other than
    414      the default.  The toplevel installation directory defaults to
    415      `/usr/local'.
    416 
    417      We *highly* recommend against DIRNAME being the same or a
    418      subdirectory of OBJDIR or vice versa.  If specifying a directory
    419      beneath a user's home directory tree, some shells will not expand
    420      DIRNAME correctly if it contains the `~' metacharacter; use
    421      `$HOME' instead.
    422 
    423      The following standard `autoconf' options are supported.  Normally
    424      you should not need to use these options.
    425     `--exec-prefix=DIRNAME'
    426           Specify the toplevel installation directory for
    427           architecture-dependent files.  The default is `PREFIX'.
    428 
    429     `--bindir=DIRNAME'
    430           Specify the installation directory for the executables called
    431           by users (such as `gcc' and `g++').  The default is
    432           `EXEC-PREFIX/bin'.
    433 
    434     `--libdir=DIRNAME'
    435           Specify the installation directory for object code libraries
    436           and internal data files of GCC.  The default is
    437           `EXEC-PREFIX/lib'.
    438 
    439     `--libexecdir=DIRNAME'
    440           Specify the installation directory for internal executables
    441           of GCC.    The default is `EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'.
    442 
    443     `--with-slibdir=DIRNAME'
    444           Specify the installation directory for the shared libgcc
    445           library.  The default is `LIBDIR'.
    446 
    447     `--infodir=DIRNAME'
    448           Specify the installation directory for documentation in info
    449           format.  The default is `PREFIX/info'.
    450 
    451     `--datadir=DIRNAME'
    452           Specify the installation directory for some
    453           architecture-independent data files referenced by GCC.  The
    454           default is `PREFIX/share'.
    455 
    456     `--mandir=DIRNAME'
    457           Specify the installation directory for manual pages.  The
    458           default is `PREFIX/man'.  (Note that the manual pages are
    459           only extracts from the full GCC manuals, which are provided
    460           in Texinfo format.  The manpages are derived by an automatic
    461           conversion process from parts of the full manual.)
    462 
    463     `--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME'
    464           Specify the installation directory for G++ header files.  The
    465           default is `PREFIX/include/c++/VERSION'.
    466 
    467 
    468 `--program-prefix=PREFIX'
    469      GCC supports some transformations of the names of its programs when
    470      installing them.  This option prepends PREFIX to the names of
    471      programs to install in BINDIR (see above).  For example, specifying
    472      `--program-prefix=foo-' would result in `gcc' being installed as
    473      `/usr/local/bin/foo-gcc'.
    474 
    475 `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'
    476      Appends SUFFIX to the names of programs to install in BINDIR (see
    477      above).  For example, specifying `--program-suffix=-3.1' would
    478      result in `gcc' being installed as `/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.1'.
    479 
    480 `--program-transform-name=PATTERN'
    481      Applies the `sed' script PATTERN to be applied to the names of
    482      programs to install in BINDIR (see above).  PATTERN has to consist
    483      of one or more basic `sed' editing commands, separated by
    484      semicolons.  For example, if you want the `gcc' program name to be
    485      transformed to the installed program `/usr/local/bin/myowngcc' and
    486      the `g++' program name to be transformed to
    487      `/usr/local/bin/gspecial++' without changing other program names,
    488      you could use the pattern
    489      `--program-transform-name='s/^gcc$/myowngcc/; s/^g++$/gspecial++/''
    490      to achieve this effect.
    491 
    492      All three options can be combined and used together, resulting in
    493      more complex conversion patterns.  As a basic rule, PREFIX (and
    494      SUFFIX) are prepended (appended) before further transformations
    495      can happen with a special transformation script PATTERN.
    496 
    497      As currently implemented, this option only takes effect for native
    498      builds; cross compiler binaries' names are not transformed even
    499      when a transformation is explicitly asked for by one of these
    500      options.
    501 
    502      For native builds, some of the installed programs are also
    503      installed with the target alias in front of their name, as in
    504      `i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc'.  All of the above transformations happen
    505      before the target alias is prepended to the name--so, specifying
    506      `--program-prefix=foo-' and `program-suffix=-3.1', the resulting
    507      binary would be installed as
    508      `/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-foo-gcc-3.1'.
    509 
    510      As a last shortcoming, none of the installed Ada programs are
    511      transformed yet, which will be fixed in some time.
    512 
    513 `--with-local-prefix=DIRNAME'
    514      Specify the installation directory for local include files.  The
    515      default is `/usr/local'.  Specify this option if you want the
    516      compiler to search directory `DIRNAME/include' for locally
    517      installed header files _instead_ of `/usr/local/include'.
    518 
    519      You should specify `--with-local-prefix' *only* if your site has a
    520      different convention (not `/usr/local') for where to put
    521      site-specific files.
    522 
    523      The default value for `--with-local-prefix' is `/usr/local'
    524      regardless of the value of `--prefix'.  Specifying `--prefix' has
    525      no effect on which directory GCC searches for local header files.
    526      This may seem counterintuitive, but actually it is logical.
    527 
    528      The purpose of `--prefix' is to specify where to _install GCC_.
    529      The local header files in `/usr/local/include'--if you put any in
    530      that directory--are not part of GCC.  They are part of other
    531      programs--perhaps many others.  (GCC installs its own header files
    532      in another directory which is based on the `--prefix' value.)
    533 
    534      Both the local-prefix include directory and the GCC-prefix include
    535      directory are part of GCC's "system include" directories.
    536      Although these two directories are not fixed, they need to be
    537      searched in the proper order for the correct processing of the
    538      include_next directive.  The local-prefix include directory is
    539      searched before the GCC-prefix include directory.  Another
    540      characteristic of system include directories is that pedantic
    541      warnings are turned off for headers in these directories.
    542 
    543      Some autoconf macros add `-I DIRECTORY' options to the compiler
    544      command line, to ensure that directories containing installed
    545      packages' headers are searched.  When DIRECTORY is one of GCC's
    546      system include directories, GCC will ignore the option so that
    547      system directories continue to be processed in the correct order.
    548      This may result in a search order different from what was
    549      specified but the directory will still be searched.
    550 
    551      GCC automatically searches for ordinary libraries using
    552      `GCC_EXEC_PREFIX'.  Thus, when the same installation prefix is
    553      used for both GCC and packages, GCC will automatically search for
    554      both headers and libraries.  This provides a configuration that is
    555      easy to use.  GCC behaves in a manner similar to that when it is
    556      installed as a system compiler in `/usr'.
    557 
    558      Sites that need to install multiple versions of GCC may not want to
    559      use the above simple configuration.  It is possible to use the
    560      `--program-prefix', `--program-suffix' and
    561      `--program-transform-name' options to install multiple versions
    562      into a single directory, but it may be simpler to use different
    563      prefixes and the `--with-local-prefix' option to specify the
    564      location of the site-specific files for each version.  It will
    565      then be necessary for users to specify explicitly the location of
    566      local site libraries (e.g., with `LIBRARY_PATH').
    567 
    568      The same value can be used for both `--with-local-prefix' and
    569      `--prefix' provided it is not `/usr'.  This can be used to avoid
    570      the default search of `/usr/local/include'.
    571 
    572      *Do not* specify `/usr' as the `--with-local-prefix'!  The
    573      directory you use for `--with-local-prefix' *must not* contain any
    574      of the system's standard header files.  If it did contain them,
    575      certain programs would be miscompiled (including GNU Emacs, on
    576      certain targets), because this would override and nullify the
    577      header file corrections made by the `fixincludes' script.
    578 
    579      Indications are that people who use this option use it based on
    580      mistaken ideas of what it is for.  People use it as if it
    581      specified where to install part of GCC.  Perhaps they make this
    582      assumption because installing GCC creates the directory.
    583 
    584 `--enable-shared[=PACKAGE[,...]]'
    585      Build shared versions of libraries, if shared libraries are
    586      supported on the target platform.  Unlike GCC 2.95.x and earlier,
    587      shared libraries are enabled by default on all platforms that
    588      support shared libraries.
    589 
    590      If a list of packages is given as an argument, build shared
    591      libraries only for the listed packages.  For other packages, only
    592      static libraries will be built.  Package names currently
    593      recognized in the GCC tree are `libgcc' (also known as `gcc'),
    594      `libstdc++' (not `libstdc++-v3'), `libffi', `zlib', `boehm-gc',
    595      `ada', `libada', `libjava' and `libobjc'.  Note `libiberty' does
    596      not support shared libraries at all.
    597 
    598      Use `--disable-shared' to build only static libraries.  Note that
    599      `--disable-shared' does not accept a list of package names as
    600      argument, only `--enable-shared' does.
    601 
    602 `--with-gnu-as'
    603      Specify that the compiler should assume that the assembler it
    604      finds is the GNU assembler.  However, this does not modify the
    605      rules to find an assembler and will result in confusion if the
    606      assembler found is not actually the GNU assembler.  (Confusion may
    607      also result if the compiler finds the GNU assembler but has not
    608      been configured with `--with-gnu-as'.)  If you have more than one
    609      assembler installed on your system, you may want to use this
    610      option in connection with `--with-as=PATHNAME' or
    611      `--with-build-time-tools=PATHNAME'.
    612 
    613      The following systems are the only ones where it makes a difference
    614      whether you use the GNU assembler.  On any other system,
    615      `--with-gnu-as' has no effect.
    616 
    617         * `hppa1.0-ANY-ANY'
    618 
    619         * `hppa1.1-ANY-ANY'
    620 
    621         * `i386-ANY-sysv'
    622 
    623         * `m68k-bull-sysv'
    624 
    625         * `m68k-hp-hpux'
    626 
    627         * `m68000-hp-hpux'
    628 
    629         * `m68000-att-sysv'
    630 
    631         * `sparc-sun-solaris2.ANY'
    632 
    633         * `sparc64-ANY-solaris2.ANY'
    634 
    635      On the systems listed above (except for the HP-PA, the SPARC, for
    636      ISC on the 386, if you use the GNU assembler, you should also use
    637      the GNU linker (and specify `--with-gnu-ld').
    638 
    639 `--with-as=PATHNAME'
    640      Specify that the compiler should use the assembler pointed to by
    641      PATHNAME, rather than the one found by the standard rules to find
    642      an assembler, which are:
    643         * Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the
    644           `LIBEXEC/gcc/TARGET/VERSION' directory.  LIBEXEC defaults to
    645           `EXEC-PREFIX/libexec'; EXEC-PREFIX defaults to PREFIX, which
    646           defaults to `/usr/local' unless overridden by the
    647           `--prefix=PATHNAME' switch described above.  TARGET is the
    648           target system triple, such as `sparc-sun-solaris2.7', and
    649           VERSION denotes the GCC version, such as 3.0.
    650 
    651         * If the target system is the same that you are building on,
    652           check operating system specific directories (e.g.
    653           `/usr/ccs/bin' on Sun Solaris 2).
    654 
    655         * Check in the `PATH' for a tool whose name is prefixed by the
    656           target system triple.
    657 
    658         * Check in the `PATH' for a tool whose name is not prefixed by
    659           the target system triple, if the host and target system
    660           triple are the same (in other words, we use a host tool if it
    661           can be used for the target as well).
    662 
    663      You may want to use `--with-as' if no assembler is installed in
    664      the directories listed above, or if you have multiple assemblers
    665      installed and want to choose one that is not found by the above
    666      rules.
    667 
    668 `--with-gnu-ld'
    669      Same as `--with-gnu-as' but for the linker.
    670 
    671 `--with-ld=PATHNAME'
    672      Same as `--with-as' but for the linker.
    673 
    674 `--with-stabs'
    675      Specify that stabs debugging information should be used instead of
    676      whatever format the host normally uses.  Normally GCC uses the
    677      same debug format as the host system.
    678 
    679      On MIPS based systems and on Alphas, you must specify whether you
    680      want GCC to create the normal ECOFF debugging format, or to use
    681      BSD-style stabs passed through the ECOFF symbol table.  The normal
    682      ECOFF debug format cannot fully handle languages other than C.
    683      BSD stabs format can handle other languages, but it only works
    684      with the GNU debugger GDB.
    685 
    686      Normally, GCC uses the ECOFF debugging format by default; if you
    687      prefer BSD stabs, specify `--with-stabs' when you configure GCC.
    688 
    689      No matter which default you choose when you configure GCC, the user
    690      can use the `-gcoff' and `-gstabs+' options to specify explicitly
    691      the debug format for a particular compilation.
    692 
    693      `--with-stabs' is meaningful on the ISC system on the 386, also, if
    694      `--with-gas' is used.  It selects use of stabs debugging
    695      information embedded in COFF output.  This kind of debugging
    696      information supports C++ well; ordinary COFF debugging information
    697      does not.
    698 
    699      `--with-stabs' is also meaningful on 386 systems running SVR4.  It
    700      selects use of stabs debugging information embedded in ELF output.
    701      The C++ compiler currently (2.6.0) does not support the DWARF
    702      debugging information normally used on 386 SVR4 platforms; stabs
    703      provide a workable alternative.  This requires gas and gdb, as the
    704      normal SVR4 tools can not generate or interpret stabs.
    705 
    706 `--disable-multilib'
    707      Specify that multiple target libraries to support different target
    708      variants, calling conventions, etc. should not be built.  The
    709      default is to build a predefined set of them.
    710 
    711      Some targets provide finer-grained control over which multilibs
    712      are built (e.g., `--disable-softfloat'):
    713     `arc-*-elf*'
    714           biendian.
    715 
    716     `arm-*-*'
    717           fpu, 26bit, underscore, interwork, biendian, nofmult.
    718 
    719     `m68*-*-*'
    720           softfloat, m68881, m68000, m68020.
    721 
    722     `mips*-*-*'
    723           single-float, biendian, softfloat.
    724 
    725     `powerpc*-*-*, rs6000*-*-*'
    726           aix64, pthread, softfloat, powercpu, powerpccpu, powerpcos,
    727           biendian, sysv, aix.
    728 
    729 
    730 `--enable-threads'
    731      Specify that the target supports threads.  This affects the
    732      Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling
    733      for other languages like C++ and Java.  On some systems, this is
    734      the default.
    735 
    736      In general, the best (and, in many cases, the only known) threading
    737      model available will be configured for use.  Beware that on some
    738      systems, GCC has not been taught what threading models are
    739      generally available for the system.  In this case,
    740      `--enable-threads' is an alias for `--enable-threads=single'.
    741 
    742 `--disable-threads'
    743      Specify that threading support should be disabled for the system.
    744      This is an alias for `--enable-threads=single'.
    745 
    746 `--enable-threads=LIB'
    747      Specify that LIB is the thread support library.  This affects the
    748      Objective-C compiler and runtime library, and exception handling
    749      for other languages like C++ and Java.  The possibilities for LIB
    750      are:
    751 
    752     `aix'
    753           AIX thread support.
    754 
    755     `dce'
    756           DCE thread support.
    757 
    758     `gnat'
    759           Ada tasking support.  For non-Ada programs, this setting is
    760           equivalent to `single'.  When used in conjunction with the
    761           Ada run time, it causes GCC to use the same thread primitives
    762           as Ada uses.  This option is necessary when using both Ada
    763           and the back end exception handling, which is the default for
    764           most Ada targets.
    765 
    766     `mach'
    767           Generic MACH thread support, known to work on NeXTSTEP.
    768           (Please note that the file needed to support this
    769           configuration, `gthr-mach.h', is missing and thus this
    770           setting will cause a known bootstrap failure.)
    771 
    772     `no'
    773           This is an alias for `single'.
    774 
    775     `posix'
    776           Generic POSIX/Unix98 thread support.
    777 
    778     `posix95'
    779           Generic POSIX/Unix95 thread support.
    780 
    781     `rtems'
    782           RTEMS thread support.
    783 
    784     `single'
    785           Disable thread support, should work for all platforms.
    786 
    787     `solaris'
    788           Sun Solaris 2 thread support.
    789 
    790     `vxworks'
    791           VxWorks thread support.
    792 
    793     `win32'
    794           Microsoft Win32 API thread support.
    795 
    796     `nks'
    797           Novell Kernel Services thread support.
    798 
    799 `--enable-tls'
    800      Specify that the target supports TLS (Thread Local Storage).
    801      Usually configure can correctly determine if TLS is supported.  In
    802      cases where it guesses incorrectly, TLS can be explicitly enabled
    803      or disabled with `--enable-tls' or `--disable-tls'.  This can
    804      happen if the assembler supports TLS but the C library does not,
    805      or if the assumptions made by the configure test are incorrect.
    806 
    807 `--disable-tls'
    808      Specify that the target does not support TLS.  This is an alias
    809      for `--enable-tls=no'.
    810 
    811 `--with-cpu=CPU'
    812      Specify which cpu variant the compiler should generate code for by
    813      default.  CPU will be used as the default value of the `-mcpu='
    814      switch.  This option is only supported on some targets, including
    815      ARM, i386, PowerPC, and SPARC.
    816 
    817 `--with-schedule=CPU'
    818 `--with-arch=CPU'
    819 `--with-tune=CPU'
    820 `--with-abi=ABI'
    821 `--with-fpu=TYPE'
    822 `--with-float=TYPE'
    823      These configure options provide default values for the
    824      `-mschedule=', `-march=', `-mtune=', `-mabi=', and `-mfpu='
    825      options and for `-mhard-float' or `-msoft-float'.  As with
    826      `--with-cpu', which switches will be accepted and acceptable values
    827      of the arguments depend on the target.
    828 
    829 `--with-mode=MODE'
    830      Specify if the compiler should default to `-marm' or `-mthumb'.
    831      This option is only supported on ARM targets.
    832 
    833 `--with-divide=TYPE'
    834      Specify how the compiler should generate code for checking for
    835      division by zero.  This option is only supported on the MIPS
    836      target.  The possibilities for TYPE are:
    837     `traps'
    838           Division by zero checks use conditional traps (this is the
    839           default on systems that support conditional traps).
    840 
    841     `breaks'
    842           Division by zero checks use the break instruction.
    843 
    844 `--enable-__cxa_atexit'
    845      Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to
    846      register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects.
    847      This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of
    848      destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc.  This option is
    849      currently only available on systems with GNU libc.  When enabled,
    850      this will cause `-fuse-cxa-exit' to be passed by default.
    851 
    852 `--enable-target-optspace'
    853      Specify that target libraries should be optimized for code space
    854      instead of code speed.  This is the default for the m32r platform.
    855 
    856 `--disable-cpp'
    857      Specify that a user visible `cpp' program should not be installed.
    858 
    859 `--with-cpp-install-dir=DIRNAME'
    860      Specify that the user visible `cpp' program should be installed in
    861      `PREFIX/DIRNAME/cpp', in addition to BINDIR.
    862 
    863 `--enable-initfini-array'
    864      Force the use of sections `.init_array' and `.fini_array' (instead
    865      of `.init' and `.fini') for constructors and destructors.  Option
    866      `--disable-initfini-array' has the opposite effect.  If neither
    867      option is specified, the configure script will try to guess
    868      whether the `.init_array' and `.fini_array' sections are supported
    869      and, if they are, use them.
    870 
    871 `--enable-maintainer-mode'
    872      The build rules that regenerate the GCC master message catalog
    873      `gcc.pot' are normally disabled.  This is because it can only be
    874      rebuilt if the complete source tree is present.  If you have
    875      changed the sources and want to rebuild the catalog, configuring
    876      with `--enable-maintainer-mode' will enable this.  Note that you
    877      need a recent version of the `gettext' tools to do so.
    878 
    879 `--disable-bootstrap'
    880      For a native build, the default configuration is to perform a
    881      3-stage bootstrap of the compiler when `make' is invoked, testing
    882      that GCC can compile itself correctly.  If you want to disable
    883      this process, you can configure with `--disable-bootstrap'.
    884 
    885 `--enable-bootstrap'
    886      In special cases, you may want to perform a 3-stage build even if
    887      the target and host triplets are different.  This could happen
    888      when the host can run code compiled for the target (e.g. host is
    889      i686-linux, target is i486-linux).  Starting from GCC 4.2, to do
    890      this you have to configure explicitly with `--enable-bootstrap'.
    891 
    892 `--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir'
    893      Neither the .c and .h files that are generated from Bison and flex
    894      nor the info manuals and man pages that are built from the .texi
    895      files are present in the SVN development tree.  When building GCC
    896      from that development tree, or from one of our snapshots, those
    897      generated files are placed in your build directory, which allows
    898      for the source to be in a readonly directory.
    899 
    900      If you configure with `--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir' then
    901      those generated files will go into the source directory.  This is
    902      mainly intended for generating release or prerelease tarballs of
    903      the GCC sources, since it is not a requirement that the users of
    904      source releases to have flex, Bison, or makeinfo.
    905 
    906 `--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs'
    907      Specify that runtime libraries should be installed in the compiler
    908      specific subdirectory (`LIBDIR/gcc') rather than the usual places.
    909      In addition, `libstdc++''s include files will be installed into
    910      `LIBDIR' unless you overruled it by using
    911      `--with-gxx-include-dir=DIRNAME'.  Using this option is
    912      particularly useful if you intend to use several versions of GCC in
    913      parallel.  This is currently supported by `libgfortran',
    914      `libjava', `libmudflap', `libstdc++', and `libobjc'.
    915 
    916 `--with-java-home=DIRNAME'
    917      This `libjava' option overrides the default value of the
    918      `java.home' system property.  It is also used to set
    919      `sun.boot.class.path' to `DIRNAME/lib/rt.jar'.  By default
    920      `java.home' is set to `PREFIX' and `sun.boot.class.path' to
    921      `DATADIR/java/libgcj-VERSION.jar'.
    922 
    923 `--enable-languages=LANG1,LANG2,...'
    924      Specify that only a particular subset of compilers and their
    925      runtime libraries should be built.  For a list of valid values for
    926      LANGN you can issue the following command in the `gcc' directory
    927      of your GCC source tree:
    928           grep language= */config-lang.in
    929      Currently, you can use any of the following: `all', `ada', `c',
    930      `c++', `fortran', `java', `objc', `obj-c++', `treelang'.  Building
    931      the Ada compiler has special requirements, see below.  If you do
    932      not pass this flag, or specify the option `all', then all default
    933      languages available in the `gcc' sub-tree will be configured.
    934      Ada, Objective-C++, and treelang are not default languages; the
    935      rest are.  Re-defining `LANGUAGES' when calling `make' *does not*
    936      work anymore, as those language sub-directories might not have been
    937      configured!
    938 
    939 `--disable-libada'
    940      Specify that the run-time libraries and tools used by GNAT should
    941      not be built.  This can be useful for debugging, or for
    942      compatibility with previous Ada build procedures, when it was
    943      required to explicitly do a `make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools'.
    944 
    945 `--disable-libssp'
    946      Specify that the run-time libraries for stack smashing protection
    947      should not be built.
    948 
    949 `--disable-libgomp'
    950      Specify that the run-time libraries used by GOMP should not be
    951      built.
    952 
    953 `--with-dwarf2'
    954      Specify that the compiler should use DWARF 2 debugging information
    955      as the default.
    956 
    957 `--enable-targets=all'
    958 `--enable-targets=TARGET_LIST'
    959      Some GCC targets, e.g. powerpc64-linux, build bi-arch compilers.
    960      These are compilers that are able to generate either 64-bit or
    961      32-bit code.  Typically, the corresponding 32-bit target, e.g.
    962      powerpc-linux for powerpc64-linux, only generates 32-bit code.
    963      This option enables the 32-bit target to be a bi-arch compiler,
    964      which is useful when you want a bi-arch compiler that defaults to
    965      32-bit, and you are building a bi-arch or multi-arch binutils in a
    966      combined tree.  Currently, this option only affects powerpc-linux.
    967 
    968 `--enable-secureplt'
    969      This option enables `-msecure-plt' by default for powerpc-linux.
    970      *Note RS/6000 and PowerPC Options: (gcc)RS/6000 and PowerPC
    971      Options,
    972 
    973 `--enable-win32-registry'
    974 `--enable-win32-registry=KEY'
    975 `--disable-win32-registry'
    976      The `--enable-win32-registry' option enables Microsoft
    977      Windows-hosted GCC to look up installations paths in the registry
    978      using the following key:
    979 
    980           `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Free Software Foundation\KEY'
    981 
    982      KEY defaults to GCC version number, and can be overridden by the
    983      `--enable-win32-registry=KEY' option.  Vendors and distributors
    984      who use custom installers are encouraged to provide a different
    985      key, perhaps one comprised of vendor name and GCC version number,
    986      to avoid conflict with existing installations.  This feature is
    987      enabled by default, and can be disabled by
    988      `--disable-win32-registry' option.  This option has no effect on
    989      the other hosts.
    990 
    991 `--nfp'
    992      Specify that the machine does not have a floating point unit.  This
    993      option only applies to `m68k-sun-sunosN'.  On any other system,
    994      `--nfp' has no effect.
    995 
    996 `--enable-werror'
    997 `--disable-werror'
    998 `--enable-werror=yes'
    999 `--enable-werror=no'
   1000      When you specify this option, it controls whether certain files in
   1001      the compiler are built with `-Werror' in bootstrap stage2 and
   1002      later.  If you don't specify it, `-Werror' is turned on for the
   1003      main development trunk.  However it defaults to off for release
   1004      branches and final releases.  The specific files which get
   1005      `-Werror' are controlled by the Makefiles.
   1006 
   1007 `--enable-checking'
   1008 `--enable-checking=LIST'
   1009      When you specify this option, the compiler is built to perform
   1010      internal consistency checks of the requested complexity.  This
   1011      does not change the generated code, but adds error checking within
   1012      the compiler.  This will slow down the compiler and may only work
   1013      properly if you are building the compiler with GCC.  This is `yes'
   1014      by default when building from SVN or snapshots, but `release' for
   1015      releases.  More control over the checks may be had by specifying
   1016      LIST.  The categories of checks available are `yes' (most common
   1017      checks `assert,misc,tree,gc,rtlflag,runtime'), `no' (no checks at
   1018      all), `all' (all but `valgrind'), `release' (cheapest checks
   1019      `assert,runtime') or `none' (same as `no').  Individual checks can
   1020      be enabled with these flags `assert', `fold', `gc', `gcac' `misc',
   1021      `rtl', `rtlflag', `runtime', `tree', and `valgrind'.
   1022 
   1023      The `valgrind' check requires the external `valgrind' simulator,
   1024      available from `http://valgrind.org/'.  The `rtl', `gcac' and
   1025      `valgrind' checks are very expensive.  To disable all checking,
   1026      `--disable-checking' or `--enable-checking=none' must be
   1027      explicitly requested.  Disabling assertions will make the compiler
   1028      and runtime slightly faster but increase the risk of undetected
   1029      internal errors causing wrong code to be generated.
   1030 
   1031 `--enable-coverage'
   1032 `--enable-coverage=LEVEL'
   1033      With this option, the compiler is built to collect self coverage
   1034      information, every time it is run.  This is for internal
   1035      development purposes, and only works when the compiler is being
   1036      built with gcc.  The LEVEL argument controls whether the compiler
   1037      is built optimized or not, values are `opt' and `noopt'.  For
   1038      coverage analysis you want to disable optimization, for
   1039      performance analysis you want to enable optimization.  When
   1040      coverage is enabled, the default level is without optimization.
   1041 
   1042 `--enable-gather-detailed-mem-stats'
   1043      When this option is specified more detailed information on memory
   1044      allocation is gathered.  This information is printed when using
   1045      `-fmem-report'.
   1046 
   1047 `--with-gc'
   1048 `--with-gc=CHOICE'
   1049      With this option you can specify the garbage collector
   1050      implementation used during the compilation process.  CHOICE can be
   1051      one of `page' and `zone', where `page' is the default.
   1052 
   1053 `--enable-nls'
   1054 `--disable-nls'
   1055      The `--enable-nls' option enables Native Language Support (NLS),
   1056      which lets GCC output diagnostics in languages other than American
   1057      English.  Native Language Support is enabled by default if not
   1058      doing a canadian cross build.  The `--disable-nls' option disables
   1059      NLS.
   1060 
   1061 `--with-included-gettext'
   1062      If NLS is enabled, the `--with-included-gettext' option causes the
   1063      build procedure to prefer its copy of GNU `gettext'.
   1064 
   1065 `--with-catgets'
   1066      If NLS is enabled, and if the host lacks `gettext' but has the
   1067      inferior `catgets' interface, the GCC build procedure normally
   1068      ignores `catgets' and instead uses GCC's copy of the GNU `gettext'
   1069      library.  The `--with-catgets' option causes the build procedure
   1070      to use the host's `catgets' in this situation.
   1071 
   1072 `--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR'
   1073      Search for libiconv header files in `DIR/include' and libiconv
   1074      library files in `DIR/lib'.
   1075 
   1076 `--enable-obsolete'
   1077      Enable configuration for an obsoleted system.  If you attempt to
   1078      configure GCC for a system (build, host, or target) which has been
   1079      obsoleted, and you do not specify this flag, configure will halt
   1080      with an error message.
   1081 
   1082      All support for systems which have been obsoleted in one release
   1083      of GCC is removed entirely in the next major release, unless
   1084      someone steps forward to maintain the port.
   1085 
   1086 `--enable-decimal-float'
   1087 `--disable-decimal-float'
   1088      Enable (or disable) support for the C decimal floating point
   1089      extension.  This is enabled by default only on PowerPC GNU/Linux
   1090      systems.  Other systems may also support it, but require the user
   1091      to specifically enable it.
   1092 
   1093 `--with-long-double-128'
   1094      Specify if `long double' type should be 128-bit by default on
   1095      selected GNU/Linux architectures.  If using
   1096      `--without-long-double-128', `long double' will be by default
   1097      64-bit, the same as `double' type.  When neither of these
   1098      configure options are used, the default will be 128-bit `long
   1099      double' when built against GNU C Library 2.4 and later, 64-bit
   1100      `long double' otherwise.
   1101 
   1102 
   1103 Cross-Compiler-Specific Options
   1104 -------------------------------
   1105 
   1106 The following options only apply to building cross compilers.
   1107 `--with-sysroot'
   1108 `--with-sysroot=DIR'
   1109      Tells GCC to consider DIR as the root of a tree that contains a
   1110      (subset of) the root filesystem of the target operating system.
   1111      Target system headers, libraries and run-time object files will be
   1112      searched in there.  The specified directory is not copied into the
   1113      install tree, unlike the options `--with-headers' and
   1114      `--with-libs' that this option obsoletes.  The default value, in
   1115      case `--with-sysroot' is not given an argument, is
   1116      `${gcc_tooldir}/sys-root'.  If the specified directory is a
   1117      subdirectory of `${exec_prefix}', then it will be found relative to
   1118      the GCC binaries if the installation tree is moved.
   1119 
   1120 `--with-build-sysroot'
   1121 `--with-build-sysroot=DIR'
   1122      Tells GCC to consider DIR as the system root (see
   1123      `--with-sysroot') while building target libraries, instead of the
   1124      directory specified with `--with-sysroot'.  This option is only
   1125      useful when you are already using `--with-sysroot'.  You can use
   1126      `--with-build-sysroot' when you are configuring with `--prefix'
   1127      set to a directory that is different from the one in which you are
   1128      installing GCC and your target libraries.
   1129 
   1130      This option affects the system root for the compiler used to build
   1131      target libraries (which runs on the build system); it does not
   1132      affect the compiler which is used to build GCC itself.
   1133 
   1134 `--with-headers'
   1135 `--with-headers=DIR'
   1136      Deprecated in favor of `--with-sysroot'.  Specifies that target
   1137      headers are available when building a cross compiler.  The DIR
   1138      argument specifies a directory which has the target include files.
   1139      These include files will be copied into the `gcc' install
   1140      directory.  _This option with the DIR argument is required_ when
   1141      building a cross compiler, if `PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' doesn't
   1142      pre-exist.  If `PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' does pre-exist, the DIR
   1143      argument may be omitted.  `fixincludes' will be run on these files
   1144      to make them compatible with GCC.
   1145 
   1146 `--without-headers'
   1147      Tells GCC not use any target headers from a libc when building a
   1148      cross compiler.  When crossing to GNU/Linux, you need the headers
   1149      so GCC can build the exception handling for libgcc.
   1150 
   1151 `--with-libs'
   1152 `--with-libs=``DIR1 DIR2 ... DIRN'''
   1153      Deprecated in favor of `--with-sysroot'.  Specifies a list of
   1154      directories which contain the target runtime libraries.  These
   1155      libraries will be copied into the `gcc' install directory.  If the
   1156      directory list is omitted, this option has no effect.
   1157 
   1158 `--with-newlib'
   1159      Specifies that `newlib' is being used as the target C library.
   1160      This causes `__eprintf' to be omitted from `libgcc.a' on the
   1161      assumption that it will be provided by `newlib'.
   1162 
   1163 `--with-build-time-tools=DIR'
   1164      Specifies where to find the set of target tools (assembler,
   1165      linker, etc.)  that will be used while building GCC itself.  This
   1166      option can be useful if the directory layouts are different
   1167      between the system you are building GCC on, and the system where
   1168      you will deploy it.
   1169 
   1170      For example, on a `ia64-hp-hpux' system, you may have the GNU
   1171      assembler and linker in `/usr/bin', and the native tools in a
   1172      different path, and build a toolchain that expects to find the
   1173      native tools in `/usr/bin'.
   1174 
   1175      When you use this option, you should ensure that DIR includes
   1176      `ar', `as', `ld', `nm', `ranlib' and `strip' if necessary, and
   1177      possibly `objdump'.  Otherwise, GCC may use an inconsistent set of
   1178      tools.
   1179 
   1180 Fortran-Specific Options
   1181 ------------------------
   1182 
   1183 The following options apply to the build of the Fortran front end.
   1184 
   1185 `--with-gmp=PATHNAME'
   1186 `--with-gmp-include=PATHNAME'
   1187 `--with-gmp-lib=PATHNAME'
   1188 `--with-mpfr=PATHNAME'
   1189 `--with-mpfr-include=PATHNAME'
   1190 `--with-mpfr-lib=PATHNAME'
   1191      If you do not have GMP (the GNU Multiple Precision library) and the
   1192      MPFR Libraries installed in a standard location and you want to
   1193      build the Fortran front-end, you can explicitly specify the
   1194      directory where they are installed (`--with-gmp=GMPINSTALLDIR',
   1195      `--with-mpfr=MPFRINSTALLDIR').  The `--with-gmp=GMPINSTALLDIR'
   1196      option is shorthand for `--with-gmp-lib=GMPINSTALLDIR/lib' and
   1197      `--with-gmp-include=GMPINSTALLDIR/include'.  Likewise the
   1198      `--with-mpfr=MPFRINSTALLDIR' option is shorthand for
   1199      `--with-mpfr-lib=MPFRINSTALLDIR/lib' and
   1200      `--with-mpfr-include=MPFRINSTALLDIR/include'.  If these shorthand
   1201      assumptions are not correct, you can use the explicit include and
   1202      lib options directly.
   1203 
   1204 
   1205 Java-Specific Options
   1206 ---------------------
   1207 
   1208 The following option applies to the build of the Java front end.
   1209 
   1210 `--disable-libgcj'
   1211      Specify that the run-time libraries used by GCJ should not be
   1212      built.  This is useful in case you intend to use GCJ with some
   1213      other run-time, or you're going to install it separately, or it
   1214      just happens not to build on your particular machine.  In general,
   1215      if the Java front end is enabled, the GCJ libraries will be
   1216      enabled too, unless they're known to not work on the target
   1217      platform.  If GCJ is enabled but `libgcj' isn't built, you may
   1218      need to port it; in this case, before modifying the top-level
   1219      `configure.in' so that `libgcj' is enabled by default on this
   1220      platform, you may use `--enable-libgcj' to override the default.
   1221 
   1222 
   1223    The following options apply to building `libgcj'.
   1224 
   1225 General Options
   1226 ...............
   1227 
   1228 `--disable-getenv-properties'
   1229      Don't set system properties from `GCJ_PROPERTIES'.
   1230 
   1231 `--enable-hash-synchronization'
   1232      Use a global hash table for monitor locks.  Ordinarily, `libgcj''s
   1233      `configure' script automatically makes the correct choice for this
   1234      option for your platform.  Only use this if you know you need the
   1235      library to be configured differently.
   1236 
   1237 `--enable-interpreter'
   1238      Enable the Java interpreter.  The interpreter is automatically
   1239      enabled by default on all platforms that support it.  This option
   1240      is really only useful if you want to disable the interpreter
   1241      (using `--disable-interpreter').
   1242 
   1243 `--disable-java-net'
   1244      Disable java.net.  This disables the native part of java.net only,
   1245      using non-functional stubs for native method implementations.
   1246 
   1247 `--disable-jvmpi'
   1248      Disable JVMPI support.
   1249 
   1250 `--with-ecos'
   1251      Enable runtime eCos target support.
   1252 
   1253 `--without-libffi'
   1254      Don't use `libffi'.  This will disable the interpreter and JNI
   1255      support as well, as these require `libffi' to work.
   1256 
   1257 `--enable-libgcj-debug'
   1258      Enable runtime debugging code.
   1259 
   1260 `--enable-libgcj-multifile'
   1261      If specified, causes all `.java' source files to be compiled into
   1262      `.class' files in one invocation of `gcj'.  This can speed up
   1263      build time, but is more resource-intensive.  If this option is
   1264      unspecified or disabled, `gcj' is invoked once for each `.java'
   1265      file to compile into a `.class' file.
   1266 
   1267 `--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR'
   1268      Search for libiconv in `DIR/include' and `DIR/lib'.
   1269 
   1270 `--enable-sjlj-exceptions'
   1271      Force use of the `setjmp'/`longjmp'-based scheme for exceptions.
   1272      `configure' ordinarily picks the correct value based on the
   1273      platform.  Only use this option if you are sure you need a
   1274      different setting.
   1275 
   1276 `--with-system-zlib'
   1277      Use installed `zlib' rather than that included with GCC.
   1278 
   1279 `--with-win32-nlsapi=ansi, unicows or unicode'
   1280      Indicates how MinGW `libgcj' translates between UNICODE characters
   1281      and the Win32 API.
   1282     `ansi'
   1283           Use the single-byte `char' and the Win32 A functions natively,
   1284           translating to and from UNICODE when using these functions.
   1285           If unspecified, this is the default.
   1286 
   1287     `unicows'
   1288           Use the `WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively.  Adds
   1289           `-lunicows' to `libgcj.spec' to link with `libunicows'.
   1290           `unicows.dll' needs to be deployed on Microsoft Windows 9X
   1291           machines running built executables.  `libunicows.a', an
   1292           open-source import library around Microsoft's `unicows.dll',
   1293           is obtained from `http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/', which
   1294           also gives details on getting `unicows.dll' from Microsoft.
   1295 
   1296     `unicode'
   1297           Use the `WCHAR' and Win32 W functions natively.  Does _not_
   1298           add `-lunicows' to `libgcj.spec'.  The built executables will
   1299           only run on Microsoft Windows NT and above.
   1300 
   1301 AWT-Specific Options
   1302 ....................
   1303 
   1304 `--with-x'
   1305      Use the X Window System.
   1306 
   1307 `--enable-java-awt=PEER(S)'
   1308      Specifies the AWT peer library or libraries to build alongside
   1309      `libgcj'.  If this option is unspecified or disabled, AWT will be
   1310      non-functional.  Current valid values are `gtk' and `xlib'.
   1311      Multiple libraries should be separated by a comma (i.e.
   1312      `--enable-java-awt=gtk,xlib').
   1313 
   1314 `--enable-gtk-cairo'
   1315      Build the cairo Graphics2D implementation on GTK.
   1316 
   1317 `--enable-java-gc=TYPE'
   1318      Choose garbage collector.  Defaults to `boehm' if unspecified.
   1319 
   1320 `--disable-gtktest'
   1321      Do not try to compile and run a test GTK+ program.
   1322 
   1323 `--disable-glibtest'
   1324      Do not try to compile and run a test GLIB program.
   1325 
   1326 `--with-libart-prefix=PFX'
   1327      Prefix where libart is installed (optional).
   1328 
   1329 `--with-libart-exec-prefix=PFX'
   1330      Exec prefix where libart is installed (optional).
   1331 
   1332 `--disable-libarttest'
   1333      Do not try to compile and run a test libart program.

   1338 
   1339 5 Building
   1340 **********
   1341 
   1342    Now that GCC is configured, you are ready to build the compiler and
   1343 runtime libraries.
   1344 
   1345    Some commands executed when making the compiler may fail (return a
   1346 nonzero status) and be ignored by `make'.  These failures, which are
   1347 often due to files that were not found, are expected, and can safely be
   1348 ignored.
   1349 
   1350    It is normal to have compiler warnings when compiling certain files.
   1351 Unless you are a GCC developer, you can generally ignore these warnings
   1352 unless they cause compilation to fail.  Developers should attempt to fix
   1353 any warnings encountered, however they can temporarily continue past
   1354 warnings-as-errors by specifying the configure flag `--disable-werror'.
   1355 
   1356    On certain old systems, defining certain environment variables such
   1357 as `CC' can interfere with the functioning of `make'.
   1358 
   1359    If you encounter seemingly strange errors when trying to build the
   1360 compiler in a directory other than the source directory, it could be
   1361 because you have previously configured the compiler in the source
   1362 directory.  Make sure you have done all the necessary preparations.
   1363 
   1364    If you build GCC on a BSD system using a directory stored in an old
   1365 System V file system, problems may occur in running `fixincludes' if the
   1366 System V file system doesn't support symbolic links.  These problems
   1367 result in a failure to fix the declaration of `size_t' in
   1368 `sys/types.h'.  If you find that `size_t' is a signed type and that
   1369 type mismatches occur, this could be the cause.
   1370 
   1371    The solution is not to use such a directory for building GCC.
   1372 
   1373    When building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify parser sources,
   1374 you need the Bison parser generator installed.  If you do not modify
   1375 parser sources, releases contain the Bison-generated files and you do
   1376 not need Bison installed to build them.
   1377 
   1378    When building from SVN or snapshots, or if you modify Texinfo
   1379 documentation, you need version 4.4 or later of Texinfo installed if you
   1380 want Info documentation to be regenerated.  Releases contain Info
   1381 documentation pre-built for the unmodified documentation in the release.
   1382 
   1383 5.1 Building a native compiler
   1384 ==============================
   1385 
   1386 For a native build, the default configuration is to perform a 3-stage
   1387 bootstrap of the compiler when `make' is invoked.  This will build the
   1388 entire GCC system and ensure that it compiles itself correctly.  It can
   1389 be disabled with the `--disable-bootstrap' parameter to `configure',
   1390 but bootstrapping is suggested because the compiler will be tested more
   1391 completely and could also have better performance.
   1392 
   1393    The bootstrapping process will complete the following steps:
   1394 
   1395    * Build tools necessary to build the compiler.
   1396 
   1397    * Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.  This includes
   1398      building three times the target tools for use by the compiler such
   1399      as binutils (bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they
   1400      have been individually linked or moved into the top level GCC
   1401      source tree before configuring.
   1402 
   1403    * Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
   1404 
   1405    * Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the
   1406      previous step.
   1407 
   1408 
   1409    If you are short on disk space you might consider `make
   1410 bootstrap-lean' instead.  The sequence of compilation is the same
   1411 described above, but object files from the stage1 and stage2 of the
   1412 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler are deleted as soon as they are no
   1413 longer needed.
   1414 
   1415    If you want to save additional space during the bootstrap and in the
   1416 final installation as well, you can build the compiler binaries without
   1417 debugging information as in the following example.  This will save
   1418 roughly 40% of disk space both for the bootstrap and the final
   1419 installation.  (Libraries will still contain debugging information.)
   1420 
   1421           make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' \
   1422             LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap
   1423 
   1424    If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2
   1425 and stage3 compilers, set `BOOT_CFLAGS' on the command line when doing
   1426 `make'.  Non-default optimization flags are less well tested here than
   1427 the default of `-g -O2', but should still work.  In a few cases, you
   1428 may find that you need to specify special flags such as `-msoft-float'
   1429 here to complete the bootstrap; or, if the native compiler miscompiles
   1430 the stage1 compiler, you may need to work around this, by choosing
   1431 `BOOT_CFLAGS' to avoid the parts of the stage1 compiler that were
   1432 miscompiled, or by using `make bootstrap4' to increase the number of
   1433 stages of bootstrap.
   1434 
   1435    Note that using non-standard `CFLAGS' can cause bootstrap to fail if
   1436 these trigger a warning with the new compiler.  For example using `-O2
   1437 -g -mcpu=i686' on `i686-pc-linux-gnu' will cause bootstrap failure as
   1438 `-mcpu=' is deprecated in 3.4.0 and above.
   1439 
   1440    If you used the flag `--enable-languages=...' to restrict the
   1441 compilers to be built, only those you've actually enabled will be
   1442 built.  This will of course only build those runtime libraries, for
   1443 which the particular compiler has been built.  Please note, that
   1444 re-defining `LANGUAGES' when calling `make' *does not* work anymore!
   1445 
   1446    If the comparison of stage2 and stage3 fails, this normally indicates
   1447 that the stage2 compiler has compiled GCC incorrectly, and is therefore
   1448 a potentially serious bug which you should investigate and report.  (On
   1449 a few systems, meaningful comparison of object files is impossible; they
   1450 always appear "different".  If you encounter this problem, you will
   1451 need to disable comparison in the `Makefile'.)
   1452 
   1453    If you do not want to bootstrap your compiler, you can configure with
   1454 `--disable-bootstrap'.  In particular cases, you may want to bootstrap
   1455 your compiler even if the target system is not the same as the one you
   1456 are building on: for example, you could build a
   1457 `powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu' toolchain on a
   1458 `powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu' host.  In this case, pass
   1459 `--enable-bootstrap' to the configure script.
   1460 
   1461 5.2 Building a cross compiler
   1462 =============================
   1463 
   1464 When building a cross compiler, it is not generally possible to do a
   1465 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.  This makes for an interesting
   1466 problem as parts of GCC can only be built with GCC.
   1467 
   1468    To build a cross compiler, we first recommend building and
   1469 installing a native compiler.  You can then use the native GCC compiler
   1470 to build the cross compiler.  The installed native compiler needs to be
   1471 GCC version 2.95 or later.
   1472 
   1473    Assuming you have already installed a native copy of GCC and
   1474 configured your cross compiler, issue the command `make', which
   1475 performs the following steps:
   1476 
   1477    * Build host tools necessary to build the compiler.
   1478 
   1479    * Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd,
   1480      binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes) if they have been
   1481      individually linked or moved into the top level GCC source tree
   1482      before configuring.
   1483 
   1484    * Build the compiler (single stage only).
   1485 
   1486    * Build runtime libraries using the compiler from the previous step.
   1487 
   1488    Note that if an error occurs in any step the make process will exit.
   1489 
   1490    If you are not building GNU binutils in the same source tree as GCC,
   1491 you will need a cross-assembler and cross-linker installed before
   1492 configuring GCC.  Put them in the directory `PREFIX/TARGET/bin'.  Here
   1493 is a table of the tools you should put in this directory:
   1494 
   1495 `as'
   1496      This should be the cross-assembler.
   1497 
   1498 `ld'
   1499      This should be the cross-linker.
   1500 
   1501 `ar'
   1502      This should be the cross-archiver: a program which can manipulate
   1503      archive files (linker libraries) in the target machine's format.
   1504 
   1505 `ranlib'
   1506      This should be a program to construct a symbol table in an archive
   1507      file.
   1508 
   1509    The installation of GCC will find these programs in that directory,
   1510 and copy or link them to the proper place to for the cross-compiler to
   1511 find them when run later.
   1512 
   1513    The easiest way to provide these files is to build the Binutils
   1514 package.  Configure it with the same `--host' and `--target' options
   1515 that you use for configuring GCC, then build and install them.  They
   1516 install their executables automatically into the proper directory.
   1517 Alas, they do not support all the targets that GCC supports.
   1518 
   1519    If you are not building a C library in the same source tree as GCC,
   1520 you should also provide the target libraries and headers before
   1521 configuring GCC, specifying the directories with `--with-sysroot' or
   1522 `--with-headers' and `--with-libs'.  Many targets also require "start
   1523 files" such as `crt0.o' and `crtn.o' which are linked into each
   1524 executable.  There may be several alternatives for `crt0.o', for use
   1525 with profiling or other compilation options.  Check your target's
   1526 definition of `STARTFILE_SPEC' to find out what start files it uses.
   1527 
   1528 5.3 Building in parallel
   1529 ========================
   1530 
   1531 GNU Make 3.79 and above, which is necessary to build GCC, support
   1532 building in parallel.  To activate this, you can use `make -j 2'
   1533 instead of `make'.  You can also specify a bigger number, and in most
   1534 cases using a value greater than the number of processors in your
   1535 machine will result in fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus
   1536 improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow drives
   1537 and network filesystems.
   1538 
   1539 5.4 Building the Ada compiler
   1540 =============================
   1541 
   1542 In order to build GNAT, the Ada compiler, you need a working GNAT
   1543 compiler (GNAT version 3.14 or later, or GCC version 3.1 or later).
   1544 This includes GNAT tools such as `gnatmake' and `gnatlink', since the
   1545 Ada front end is written in Ada and uses some GNAT-specific extensions.
   1546 
   1547    In order to build a cross compiler, it is suggested to install the
   1548 new compiler as native first, and then use it to build the cross
   1549 compiler.
   1550 
   1551    `configure' does not test whether the GNAT installation works and
   1552 has a sufficiently recent version; if too old a GNAT version is
   1553 installed, the build will fail unless `--enable-languages' is used to
   1554 disable building the Ada front end.
   1555 
   1556 5.5 Building with profile feedback
   1557 ==================================
   1558 
   1559 It is possible to use profile feedback to optimize the compiler itself.
   1560 This should result in a faster compiler binary.  Experiments done on
   1561 x86 using gcc 3.3 showed approximately 7 percent speedup on compiling C
   1562 programs.  To bootstrap the compiler with profile feedback, use `make
   1563 profiledbootstrap'.
   1564 
   1565    When `make profiledbootstrap' is run, it will first build a `stage1'
   1566 compiler.  This compiler is used to build a `stageprofile' compiler
   1567 instrumented to collect execution counts of instruction and branch
   1568 probabilities.  Then runtime libraries are compiled with profile
   1569 collected.  Finally a `stagefeedback' compiler is built using the
   1570 information collected.
   1571 
   1572    Unlike standard bootstrap, several additional restrictions apply.
   1573 The compiler used to build `stage1' needs to support a 64-bit integral
   1574 type.  It is recommended to only use GCC for this.  Also parallel make
   1575 is currently not supported since collisions in profile collecting may
   1576 occur.

   1581 6 Installing GCC: Testing
   1582 *************************
   1583 
   1584    Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to
   1585 compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have
   1586 been submitted to the gcc-testresults mailing list.  Some of these
   1587 archived results are linked from the build status lists at
   1588 `http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html', although not everyone who reports
   1589 a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results.  This
   1590 step is optional and may require you to download additional software,
   1591 but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out
   1592 problems before you install and start using your new GCC.
   1593 
   1594    First, you must have downloaded the testsuites.  These are part of
   1595 the full distribution, but if you downloaded the "core" compiler plus
   1596 any front ends, you must download the testsuites separately.
   1597 
   1598    Second, you must have the testing tools installed.  This includes
   1599 DejaGnu, Tcl, and Expect; the DejaGnu site has links to these.
   1600 
   1601    If the directories where `runtest' and `expect' were installed are
   1602 not in the `PATH', you may need to set the following environment
   1603 variables appropriately, as in the following example (which assumes
   1604 that DejaGnu has been installed under `/usr/local'):
   1605 
   1606           TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0
   1607           DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu
   1608 
   1609    (On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual
   1610 paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of
   1611 portability in the DejaGnu code.)
   1612 
   1613    Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time):
   1614           cd OBJDIR; make -k check
   1615 
   1616    This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler front
   1617 ends and runtime libraries.  While running the testsuite, DejaGnu might
   1618 emit some harmless messages resembling `WARNING: Couldn't find the
   1619 global config file.' or `WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file' that
   1620 can be ignored.
   1621 
   1622 6.1 How can you run the testsuite on selected tests?
   1623 ====================================================
   1624 
   1625 In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets `make
   1626 check-gcc' and `make check-g++' in the `gcc' subdirectory of the object
   1627 directory.  You can also just run `make check' in a subdirectory of the
   1628 object directory.
   1629 
   1630    A more selective way to just run all `gcc' execute tests in the
   1631 testsuite is to use
   1632 
   1633          make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp OTHER-OPTIONS"
   1634 
   1635    Likewise, in order to run only the `g++' "old-deja" tests in the
   1636 testsuite with filenames matching `9805*', you would use
   1637 
   1638          make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* OTHER-OPTIONS"
   1639 
   1640    The `*.exp' files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
   1641 source, the most important ones being `compile.exp', `execute.exp',
   1642 `dg.exp' and `old-deja.exp'.  To get a list of the possible `*.exp'
   1643 files, pipe the output of `make check' into a file and look at the
   1644 `Running ...  .exp' lines.
   1645 
   1646 6.2 Passing options and running multiple testsuites
   1647 ===================================================
   1648 
   1649 You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the
   1650 `--target_board' option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of
   1651 `RUNTESTFLAGS', or directly to `runtest' if you prefer to work outside
   1652 the makefiles.  For example,
   1653 
   1654          make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fno-strength-reduce"
   1655 
   1656    will run the standard `g++' testsuites ("unix" is the target name
   1657 for a standard native testsuite situation), passing `-O3
   1658 -fno-strength-reduce' to the compiler on every test, i.e., slashes
   1659 separate options.
   1660 
   1661    You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of
   1662 options with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells:
   1663 
   1664          ..."--target_board=arm-sim/{-mhard-float,-msoft-float}{-O1,-O2,-O3,}"
   1665 
   1666    (Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final
   1667 group.)  The following will run each testsuite eight times using the
   1668 `arm-sim' target, as if you had specified all possible combinations
   1669 yourself:
   1670 
   1671          --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1
   1672          --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2
   1673          --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3
   1674          --target_board=arm-sim/-mhard-float
   1675          --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1
   1676          --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2
   1677          --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3
   1678          --target_board=arm-sim/-msoft-float
   1679 
   1680    They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways.
   1681 This list:
   1682 
   1683          ..."--target_board=unix/-Wextra{-O3,-fno-strength-reduce}{-fomit-frame-pointer,}"
   1684 
   1685    will generate four combinations, all involving `-Wextra'.
   1686 
   1687    The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in
   1688 serial, which is a waste on multiprocessor systems.  For users with GNU
   1689 Make and a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the
   1690 testsuites in parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and
   1691 `make' do the parallel runs.  Instead of using `--target_board', use a
   1692 special makefile target:
   1693 
   1694          make -jN check-TESTSUITE//TEST-TARGET/OPTION1/OPTION2/...
   1695 
   1696    For example,
   1697 
   1698          make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4}/{,-nofpu}
   1699 
   1700    will run three concurrent "make-gcc" testsuites, eventually testing
   1701 all ten combinations as described above.  Note that this is currently
   1702 only supported in the `gcc' subdirectory.  (To see how this works, try
   1703 typing `echo' before the example given here.)
   1704 
   1705 6.3 Additional testing for Java Class Libraries
   1706 ===============================================
   1707 
   1708 The Java runtime tests can be executed via `make check' in the
   1709 `TARGET/libjava/testsuite' directory in the build tree.
   1710 
   1711    The Mauve Project provides a suite of tests for the Java Class
   1712 Libraries.  This suite can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing
   1713 the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite at
   1714 `libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve', or by specifying the location
   1715 of that tree when invoking `make', as in `make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check'.
   1716 
   1717    Jacks is a free testsuite that tests Java compiler front ends.  This
   1718 suite can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing the Jacks tree
   1719 within the libjava testsuite at `libjava/testsuite/libjava.jacks/jacks'.
   1720 
   1721 6.4 How to interpret test results
   1722 =================================
   1723 
   1724 The result of running the testsuite are various `*.sum' and `*.log'
   1725 files in the testsuite subdirectories.  The `*.log' files contain a
   1726 detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding results,
   1727 the `*.sum' files summarize the results.  These summaries contain
   1728 status codes for all tests:
   1729 
   1730    * PASS: the test passed as expected
   1731 
   1732    * XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed
   1733 
   1734    * FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed
   1735 
   1736    * XFAIL: the test failed as expected
   1737 
   1738    * UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform
   1739 
   1740    * ERROR: the testsuite detected an error
   1741 
   1742    * WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem
   1743 
   1744    It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures.  At the
   1745 current time the testing harness does not allow fine grained control
   1746 over whether or not a test is expected to fail.  This problem should be
   1747 fixed in future releases.
   1748 
   1749 6.5 Submitting test results
   1750 ===========================
   1751 
   1752 If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the
   1753 `contrib/test_summary' shell script.  Start it in the OBJDIR with
   1754 
   1755          SRCDIR/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \
   1756              -m gcc-testresults (a] gcc.gnu.org |sh
   1757 
   1758    This script uses the `Mail' program to send the results, so make
   1759 sure it is in your `PATH'.  The file `your_commentary.txt' is prepended
   1760 to the testsuite summary and should contain any special remarks you
   1761 have on your results or your build environment.  Please do not edit the
   1762 testsuite result block or the subject line, as these messages may be
   1763 automatically processed.

   1767 
   1768 7 Installing GCC: Final installation
   1769 ************************************
   1770 
   1771    Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install
   1772 it with
   1773      cd OBJDIR; make install
   1774 
   1775    We strongly recommend to install into a target directory where there
   1776 is no previous version of GCC present.
   1777 
   1778    That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can
   1779 be found in `PREFIX/bin' where PREFIX is the value you specified with
   1780 the `--prefix' to configure (or `/usr/local' by default).  (If you
   1781 specified `--bindir', that directory will be used instead; otherwise,
   1782 if you specified `--exec-prefix', `EXEC-PREFIX/bin' will be used.)
   1783 Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in
   1784 `PREFIX/include'; libraries in `LIBDIR' (normally `PREFIX/lib');
   1785 internal parts of the compiler in `LIBDIR/gcc' and `LIBEXECDIR/gcc';
   1786 documentation in info format in `INFODIR' (normally `PREFIX/info').
   1787 
   1788    When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables are not only
   1789 installed into `BINDIR', that is, `EXEC-PREFIX/bin', but additionally
   1790 into `EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin', if that directory exists.
   1791 Typically, such "tooldirs" hold target-specific binutils, including
   1792 assembler and linker.
   1793 
   1794    Installation into a temporary staging area or into a `chroot' jail
   1795 can be achieved with the command
   1796 
   1797      make DESTDIR=PATH-TO-ROOTDIR install
   1798 
   1799 where PATH-TO-ROOTDIR is the absolute path of a directory relative to
   1800 which all installation paths will be interpreted.  Note that the
   1801 directory specified by `DESTDIR' need not exist yet; it will be created
   1802 if necessary.
   1803 
   1804    There is a subtle point with tooldirs and `DESTDIR': If you relocate
   1805 a cross-compiler installation with e.g. `DESTDIR=ROOTDIR', then the
   1806 directory `ROOTDIR/EXEC-PREFIX/TARGET-ALIAS/bin' will be filled with
   1807 duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists, it will not be
   1808 created otherwise.  This is regarded as a feature, not as a bug,
   1809 because it gives slightly more control to the packagers using the
   1810 `DESTDIR' feature.
   1811 
   1812    If you are bootstrapping a released version of GCC then please
   1813 quickly review the build status page for your release, available from
   1814 `http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html'.  If your system is not listed for
   1815 the version of GCC that you built, send a note to <gcc (a] gcc.gnu.org>
   1816 indicating that you successfully built and installed GCC.  Include the
   1817 following information:
   1818 
   1819    * Output from running `SRCDIR/config.guess'.  Do not send that file
   1820      itself, just the one-line output from running it.
   1821 
   1822    * The output of `gcc -v' for your newly installed `gcc'.  This tells
   1823      us which version of GCC you built and the options you passed to
   1824      configure.
   1825 
   1826    * Whether you enabled all languages or a subset of them.  If you
   1827      used a full distribution then this information is part of the
   1828      configure options in the output of `gcc -v', but if you downloaded
   1829      the "core" compiler plus additional front ends then it isn't
   1830      apparent which ones you built unless you tell us about it.
   1831 
   1832    * If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include:
   1833         * The distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or
   1834           Debian 2.2.3); this information should be available from
   1835           `/etc/issue'.
   1836 
   1837         * The version of the Linux kernel, available from `uname
   1838           --version' or `uname -a'.
   1839 
   1840         * The version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red
   1841           Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE type `rpm -q glibc' to get the glibc
   1842           version, and on systems like Debian and Progeny use `dpkg -l
   1843           libc6'.
   1844      For other systems, you can include similar information if you
   1845      think it is relevant.
   1846 
   1847    * Any other information that you think would be useful to people
   1848      building GCC on the same configuration.  The new entry in the
   1849      build status list will include a link to the archived copy of your
   1850      message.
   1851 
   1852    We'd also like to know if the *Note host/target specific
   1853 installation notes: Specific.  didn't include your host/target
   1854 information or if that information is incomplete or out of date.  Send
   1855 a note to <gcc (a] gcc.gnu.org> detailing how the information should be
   1856 changed.
   1857 
   1858    If you find a bug, please report it following the bug reporting
   1859 guidelines.
   1860 
   1861    If you want to print the GCC manuals, do `cd OBJDIR; make dvi'.  You
   1862 will need to have `texi2dvi' (version at least 4.4) and TeX installed.
   1863 This creates a number of `.dvi' files in subdirectories of `OBJDIR';
   1864 these may be converted for printing with programs such as `dvips'.
   1865 Alternately, by using `make pdf' in place of `make dvi', you can create
   1866 documentation in the form of `.pdf' files; this requires `texi2pdf',
   1867 which is included with Texinfo version 4.8 and later.  You can also buy
   1868 printed manuals from the Free Software Foundation, though such manuals
   1869 may not be for the most recent version of GCC.
   1870 
   1871    If you would like to generate online HTML documentation, do `cd
   1872 OBJDIR; make html' and HTML will be generated for the gcc manuals in
   1873 `OBJDIR/gcc/HTML'.

   1938 9 Host/target specific installation notes for GCC
   1939 *************************************************
   1940 
   1941    Please read this document carefully _before_ installing the GNU
   1942 Compiler Collection on your machine.
   1943 
   1944    Note that this list of install notes is _not_ a list of supported
   1945 hosts or targets.  Not all supported hosts and targets are listed here,
   1946 only the ones that require host-specific or target-specific information
   1947 are.
   1948 
   1949 alpha*-*-*
   1950 ==========
   1951 
   1952 This section contains general configuration information for all
   1953 alpha-based platforms using ELF (in particular, ignore this section for
   1954 DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX and Tru64 UNIX).  In addition to reading this
   1955 section, please read all other sections that match your target.
   1956 
   1957    We require binutils 2.11.2 or newer.  Previous binutils releases had
   1958 a number of problems with DWARF 2 debugging information, not the least
   1959 of which is incorrect linking of shared libraries.
   1960 
   1961 alpha*-dec-osf*
   1962 ===============
   1963 
   1964 Systems using processors that implement the DEC Alpha architecture and
   1965 are running the DEC/Compaq Unix (DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, or Compaq
   1966 Tru64 UNIX) operating system, for example the DEC Alpha AXP systems.
   1967 
   1968    As of GCC 3.2, versions before `alpha*-dec-osf4' are no longer
   1969 supported.  (These are the versions which identify themselves as DEC
   1970 OSF/1.)
   1971 
   1972    In Digital Unix V4.0, virtual memory exhausted bootstrap failures
   1973 may be fixed by configuring with `--with-gc=simple', reconfiguring
   1974 Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters per the `/usr/sbin/sys_check'
   1975 Tuning Suggestions, or applying the patch in
   1976 `http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html'.
   1977 
   1978    In Tru64 UNIX V5.1, Compaq introduced a new assembler that does not
   1979 currently (2001-06-13) work with `mips-tfile'.  As a workaround, we
   1980 need to use the old assembler, invoked via the barely documented
   1981 `-oldas' option.  To bootstrap GCC, you either need to use the Compaq C
   1982 Compiler:
   1983 
   1984         % CC=cc SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
   1985 
   1986    or you can use a copy of GCC 2.95.3 or higher built on Tru64 UNIX
   1987 V4.0:
   1988 
   1989         % CC=gcc -Wa,-oldas SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
   1990 
   1991    As of GNU binutils 2.11.2, neither GNU `as' nor GNU `ld' are
   1992 supported on Tru64 UNIX, so you must not configure GCC with
   1993 `--with-gnu-as' or `--with-gnu-ld'.
   1994 
   1995    GCC writes a `.verstamp' directive to the assembler output file
   1996 unless it is built as a cross-compiler.  It gets the version to use from
   1997 the system header file `/usr/include/stamp.h'.  If you install a new
   1998 version of DEC Unix, you should rebuild GCC to pick up the new version
   1999 stamp.
   2000 
   2001    Note that since the Alpha is a 64-bit architecture, cross-compilers
   2002 from 32-bit machines will not generate code as efficient as that
   2003 generated when the compiler is running on a 64-bit machine because many
   2004 optimizations that depend on being able to represent a word on the
   2005 target in an integral value on the host cannot be performed.  Building
   2006 cross-compilers on the Alpha for 32-bit machines has only been tested in
   2007 a few cases and may not work properly.
   2008 
   2009    `make compare' may fail on old versions of DEC Unix unless you add
   2010 `-save-temps' to `CFLAGS'.  On these systems, the name of the assembler
   2011 input file is stored in the object file, and that makes comparison fail
   2012 if it differs between the `stage1' and `stage2' compilations.  The
   2013 option `-save-temps' forces a fixed name to be used for the assembler
   2014 input file, instead of a randomly chosen name in `/tmp'.  Do not add
   2015 `-save-temps' unless the comparisons fail without that option.  If you
   2016 add `-save-temps', you will have to manually delete the `.i' and `.s'
   2017 files after each series of compilations.
   2018 
   2019    GCC now supports both the native (ECOFF) debugging format used by DBX
   2020 and GDB and an encapsulated STABS format for use only with GDB.  See the
   2021 discussion of the `--with-stabs' option of `configure' above for more
   2022 information on these formats and how to select them.
   2023 
   2024    There is a bug in DEC's assembler that produces incorrect line
   2025 numbers for ECOFF format when the `.align' directive is used.  To work
   2026 around this problem, GCC will not emit such alignment directives while
   2027 writing ECOFF format debugging information even if optimization is
   2028 being performed.  Unfortunately, this has the very undesirable
   2029 side-effect that code addresses when `-O' is specified are different
   2030 depending on whether or not `-g' is also specified.
   2031 
   2032    To avoid this behavior, specify `-gstabs+' and use GDB instead of
   2033 DBX.  DEC is now aware of this problem with the assembler and hopes to
   2034 provide a fix shortly.
   2035 
   2036 alphaev5-cray-unicosmk*
   2037 =======================
   2038 
   2039 Cray T3E systems running Unicos/Mk.
   2040 
   2041    This port is incomplete and has many known bugs.  We hope to improve
   2042 the support for this target soon.  Currently, only the C front end is
   2043 supported, and it is not possible to build parallel applications.  Cray
   2044 modules are not supported; in particular, Craylibs are assumed to be in
   2045 `/opt/ctl/craylibs/craylibs'.
   2046 
   2047    On this platform, you need to tell GCC where to find the assembler
   2048 and the linker.  The simplest way to do so is by providing `--with-as'
   2049 and `--with-ld' to `configure', e.g.
   2050 
   2051          configure --with-as=/opt/ctl/bin/cam --with-ld=/opt/ctl/bin/cld \
   2052            --enable-languages=c
   2053 
   2054    The comparison test at the end of the bootstrapping process fails on
   2055 Unicos/Mk because the assembler inserts timestamps into object files.
   2056 You should be able to work around this by doing `make all' after
   2057 getting this failure.

   2195 and includes all the necessary compilation tools and libraries.
   2196 
   2197 *-*-freebsd*
   2198 ============
   2199 
   2200 The version of binutils installed in `/usr/bin' probably works with
   2201 this release of GCC.  However, on FreeBSD 4, bootstrapping against the
   2202 latest FSF binutils is known to improve overall testsuite results; and,
   2203 on FreeBSD/alpha, using binutils 2.14 or later is required to build
   2204 libjava.
   2205 
   2206    Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2.
   2207 
   2208    Support for FreeBSD 2 will be discontinued after GCC 3.4.  The
   2209 following was true for GCC 3.1 but the current status is unknown.  For
   2210 FreeBSD 2 or any mutant a.out versions of FreeBSD 3: All configuration
   2211 support and files as shipped with GCC 2.95 are still in place.  FreeBSD
   2212 2.2.7 has been known to bootstrap completely; however, it is unknown
   2213 which version of binutils was used (it is assumed that it was the
   2214 system copy in `/usr/bin') and C++ EH failures were noted.
   2215 
   2216    For FreeBSD using the ELF file format: DWARF 2 debugging is now the
   2217 default for all CPU architectures.  It had been the default on
   2218 FreeBSD/alpha since its inception.  You may use `-gstabs' instead of
   2219 `-g', if you really want the old debugging format.  There are no known
   2220 issues with mixing object files and libraries with different debugging
   2221 formats.  Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match more of the
   2222 configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of GCC.  In
   2223 particular, `--enable-threads' is now configured by default.  However,
   2224 as a general user, do not attempt to replace the system compiler with
   2225 this release.  Known to bootstrap and check with good results on
   2226 FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE and 5-CURRENT.  In the past, known to bootstrap and
   2227 check with good results on FreeBSD 3.0, 3.4, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5,
   2228 4.8-STABLE.
   2229 
   2230    In principle, `--enable-threads' is now compatible with
   2231 `--enable-libgcj' on FreeBSD.  However, it has only been built and
   2232 tested on `i386-*-freebsd[45]' and `alpha-*-freebsd[45]'.  The static
   2233 library may be incorrectly built (symbols are missing at link time).
   2234 There is a rare timing-based startup hang (probably involves an
   2235 assumption about the thread library).  Multi-threaded boehm-gc
   2236 (required for libjava) exposes severe threaded signal-handling bugs on
   2237 FreeBSD before 4.5-RELEASE.  Other CPU architectures supported by
   2238 FreeBSD will require additional configuration tuning in, at the very
   2239 least, both boehm-gc and libffi.
   2240 
   2241    Shared `libgcc_s.so' is now built and installed by default.

   2250    The calling convention and structure layout has changed in release
   2251 2.6.  All code must be recompiled.  The calling convention now passes
   2252 the first three arguments in function calls in registers.  Structures
   2253 are no longer a multiple of 2 bytes.
   2254 
   2255 hppa*-hp-hpux*
   2256 ==============
   2257 
   2258 Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
   2259 
   2260    We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms; you may
   2261 encounter a variety of problems if you try to use the HP assembler.
   2262 
   2263    Specifically, `-g' does not work on HP-UX (since that system uses a
   2264 peculiar debugging format which GCC does not know about), unless you
   2265 use GAS and GDB.  It may be helpful to configure GCC with the
   2266 `--with-gnu-as' and `--with-as=...' options to ensure that GCC can find
   2267 GAS.
   2268 
   2269    If you wish to use the pa-risc 2.0 architecture support with a 32-bit
   2270 runtime, you must use gas/binutils 2.11 or newer.
   2271 
   2272    There are two default scheduling models for instructions.  These are
   2273 PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000.  They are selected from the pa-risc
   2274 architecture specified for the target machine when configuring.
   2275 PROCESSOR_8000 is the default.  PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when the
   2276 target is a `hppa1*' machine.
   2277 
   2278    The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors.
   2279 Thus, it is important to completely specify the machine architecture
   2280 when configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000.  The
   2281 macro TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different
   2282 default scheduling model is desired.
   2283 
   2284    As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10
   2285 through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later.
   2286 This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with an
   2287 earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same
   2288 namespace is required for an entire build.  This problem can be avoided
   2289 in a number of ways.  With HP cc, `UNIX_STD' can be set to `95' or
   2290 `98'.  Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines to `CC'.
   2291 The description for the `munix=' option contains a list of the
   2292 predefines used with each standard.
   2293 
   2294    As of GCC 4.1, `DWARF2' exception handling is available on HP-UX.
   2295 It is now the default.  This exposed a bug in the handling of data
   2296 relocations in the GAS assembler.  The handling of 64-bit data
   2297 relocations was seriously broken, affecting debugging and exception
   2298 support on all `hppa64-*-*' targets.  Under some circumstances, 32-bit
   2299 data relocations could also be handled incorrectly.  This problem is
   2300 fixed in GAS version 2.16.91 20051125.
   2301 
   2302    GCC versions prior to 4.1 incorrectly passed and returned complex
   2303 values.  They are now passed in the same manner as aggregates.
   2304 
   2305    More specific information to `hppa*-hp-hpux*' targets follows.
   2306 
   2307 hppa*-hp-hpux10
   2308 ===============
   2309 
   2310 For hpux10.20, we _highly_ recommend you pick up the latest sed patch
   2311 `PHCO_19798' from HP.  HP has two sites which provide patches free of
   2312 charge:
   2313 
   2314    * `http://us.itrc.hp.com/service/home/home.do' US, Canada,
   2315      Asia-Pacific, and Latin-America.
   2316 
   2317    * `http://europe.itrc.hp.com/service/home/home.do' Europe.
   2318 
   2319    The HP assembler on these systems has some problems.  Most notably
   2320 the assembler inserts timestamps into each object file it creates,
   2321 causing the 3-stage comparison test to fail during a bootstrap.  You
   2322 should be able to continue by saying `make all-host all-target' after
   2323 getting the failure from `make'.
   2324 
   2325    GCC 4.0 requires CVS binutils as of April 28, 2004 or later.  Earlier
   2326 versions require binutils 2.8 or later.
   2327 
   2328    The C++ ABI has changed incompatibly in GCC 4.0.  COMDAT subspaces
   2329 are used for one-only code and data.  This resolves many of the previous
   2330 problems in using C++ on this target.  However, the ABI is not
   2331 compatible with the one implemented under HP-UX 11 using secondary
   2332 definitions.
   2333 
   2334 hppa*-hp-hpux11
   2335 ===============
   2336 
   2337 GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11.  GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot
   2338 be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up.
   2339 
   2340    Refer to binaries for information about obtaining precompiled GCC
   2341 binaries for HP-UX.  Precompiled binaries must be obtained to build the
   2342 Ada language as it can't be bootstrapped using C.  Ada is only
   2343 available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime.  The libffi and libjava
   2344 haven't been ported to HP-UX and don't build.
   2345 
   2346    Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap.
   2347 The bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either
   2348 HP's unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC.
   2349 
   2350    It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP
   2351 compiler, but the process requires several steps.  GCC 3.3 can then be
   2352 used to build later versions.  The fastjar program contains ISO C code
   2353 and can't be built with the HP bundled compiler.  This problem can be
   2354 avoided by not building the Java language.  For example, use the
   2355 `--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"' option in your configure command.
   2356 
   2357    There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
   2358 Binutils can be built first using the HP tools.  Then, the GCC
   2359 distribution can be built.  The second approach is to build GCC first
   2360 using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.  There have
   2361 been problems with various binary distributions, so it is best not to
   2362 start from a binary distribution.
   2363 
   2364    On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets.  Different
   2365 installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on the
   2366 same system.  The `hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*' target generates code for the
   2367 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker.  The
   2368 `hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target generates 64-bit code for the PA-RISC 2.0
   2369 architecture.  The HP and GNU linkers are both supported for this
   2370 target.
   2371 
   2372    The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the
   2373 compiler detected during configuration.  You must define `PATH' or `CC'
   2374 so that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial
   2375 bootstrap.  When `CC' is used, the definition should contain the
   2376 options that are needed whenever `CC' is used.
   2377 
   2378    Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be
   2379 in `CC' to correctly select the target for the build.  It is also
   2380 convenient to place many other compiler options in `CC'.  For example,
   2381 `CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"' can
   2382 be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in 64-bit
   2383 K&R/bundled mode.  The `+DA2.0W' option will result in the automatic
   2384 selection of the `hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target.  The macro definition
   2385 table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful build with the HP
   2386 compiler.  _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to be defined when
   2387 building with the bundled compiler, or when using the `-Ac' option.
   2388 These defines aren't necessary with `-Ae'.
   2389 
   2390    It is best to explicitly configure the `hppa64-hp-hpux11*' target
   2391 with the `--with-ld=...' option.  This overrides the standard search
   2392 for ld.  The two linkers supported on this target require different
   2393 commands.  The default linker is determined during configuration.  As a
   2394 result, it's not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC
   2395 build.  This has been been reported to sometimes occur in unified
   2396 builds of binutils and GCC.
   2397 
   2398    GCC 3.0 through 3.2 require binutils 2.11 or above.  GCC 3.3 through
   2399 GCC 4.0 require binutils 2.14 or later.
   2400 
   2401    Although the HP assembler can be used for an initial build, it
   2402 shouldn't be used with any languages other than C and perhaps Fortran
   2403 due to its many limitations.  For example, it does not support weak
   2404 symbols or alias definitions.  As a result, explicit template
   2405 instantiations are required when using C++.  This makes it difficult if
   2406 not impossible to build many C++ applications.  You can't generate
   2407 debugging information when using the HP assembler.  Finally,
   2408 bootstrapping fails in the final comparison of object modules due to
   2409 the time stamps that it inserts into the modules.  The bootstrap can be
   2410 continued from this point with `make all-host all-target'.
   2411 
   2412    A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of
   2413 GCC 3.3 and later.  `PHSS_26559' and `PHSS_24304' are the oldest linker
   2414 patches that are known to work.  They are for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11,
   2415 respectively.  `PHSS_24303', the companion to `PHSS_24304', might be
   2416 usable but it hasn't been tested.  These patches have been superseded.
   2417 Consult the HP patch database to obtain the currently recommended
   2418 linker patch for your system.
   2419 
   2420    The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the
   2421 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers.  Weak
   2422 symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols.  Prior
   2423 to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols.
   2424 The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared
   2425 libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other
   2426 linking issues involving secondary symbols.
   2427 
   2428    GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to
   2429 run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port.  The 32-bit port
   2430 uses the linker `+init' and `+fini' options for the same purpose.  The
   2431 patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini options,
   2432 including program core dumps.  Binutils 2.14 corrects a problem on the
   2433 64-bit port resulting from HP's non-standard use of the .init and .fini
   2434 sections for array initializers and finalizers.
   2435 
   2436    There are a number of issues to consider in selecting which linker to
   2437 use with the 64-bit port.  The GNU 64-bit linker can only create dynamic
   2438 binaries.  The `-static' option causes linking with archive libraries
   2439 but doesn't produce a truly static binary.  Dynamic binaries still
   2440 require final binding by the dynamic loader to resolve a set of
   2441 dynamic-loader-defined symbols.  The default behavior of the HP linker
   2442 is the same as the GNU linker.  However, it can generate true 64-bit
   2443 static binaries using the `+compat' option.
   2444 
   2445    The HP 64-bit linker doesn't support linkonce semantics.  As a
   2446 result, C++ programs have many more sections than they should.
   2447 
   2448    The GNU 64-bit linker has some issues with shared library support
   2449 and exceptions.  As a result, we only support libgcc in archive format.
   2450 For similar reasons, dwarf2 unwind and exception support are disabled.
   2451 The GNU linker also has problems creating binaries with `-static'.  It
   2452 doesn't provide stubs for internal calls to global functions in shared
   2453 libraries, so these calls can't be overloaded.
   2454 
   2455    Thread support is not implemented in GCC 3.0 through 3.2, so the
   2456 `--enable-threads' configure option does not work.  In 3.3 and later,
   2457 POSIX threads are supported.  The optional DCE thread library is not
   2458 supported.
   2459 
   2460    This port still is undergoing significant development.
   2461 
   2462 *-*-linux-gnu
   2463 =============
   2464 
   2465 Versions of libstdc++-v3 starting with 3.2.1 require bugfixes present
   2466 in glibc 2.2.5 and later.  More information is available in the
   2467 libstdc++-v3 documentation.
   2468 
   2469 i?86-*-linux*aout
   2470 =================
   2471 
   2472 Use this configuration to generate `a.out' binaries on Linux-based GNU
   2473 systems.  This configuration is being superseded.
   2474 
   2475 i?86-*-linux*
   2476 =============
   2477 
   2478 As of GCC 3.3, binutils 2.13.1 or later is required for this platform.
   2479 See bug 10877 for more information.
   2480 
   2481    If you receive Signal 11 errors when building on GNU/Linux, then it
   2482 is possible you have a hardware problem.  Further information on this
   2483 can be found on www.bitwizard.nl.
   2484 
   2485 i?86-*-sco3.2v5*
   2486 ================
   2487 
   2488 Use this for the SCO OpenServer Release 5 family of operating systems.
   2489 
   2490    Unlike earlier versions of GCC, the ability to generate COFF with
   2491 this target is no longer provided.
   2492 
   2493    Earlier versions of GCC emitted DWARF 1 when generating ELF to allow
   2494 the system debugger to be used.  That support was too burdensome to
   2495 maintain.  GCC now emits only DWARF 2 for this target.  This means you
   2496 may use either the UDK debugger or GDB to debug programs built by this
   2497 version of GCC.
   2498 
   2499    GCC is now only supported on releases 5.0.4 and later, and requires
   2500 that you install Support Level Supplement OSS646B or later, and Support
   2501 Level Supplement OSS631C or later.  If you are using release 5.0.7 of
   2502 OpenServer, you must have at least the first maintenance pack installed
   2503 (this includes the relevant portions of OSS646).  OSS646, also known as
   2504 the "Execution Environment Update", provides updated link editors and
   2505 assemblers, as well as updated standard C and math libraries.  The C
   2506 startup modules are also updated to support the System V gABI draft, and
   2507 GCC relies on that behavior.  OSS631 provides a collection of commonly
   2508 used open source libraries, some of which GCC depends on (such as GNU
   2509 gettext and zlib).  SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 has all of this built
   2510 in by default, but OSS631C and later also apply to that release.  Please
   2511 visit ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/openserver5 for the latest versions of
   2512 these (and other potentially useful) supplements.
   2513 
   2514    Although there is support for using the native assembler, it is
   2515 recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler.  You do
   2516 this by using the flags `--with-gnu-as'.  You should use a modern
   2517 version of GNU binutils.  Version 2.13.2.1 was used for all testing.
   2518 In general, only the `--with-gnu-as' option is tested.  A modern
   2519 bintuils (as well as a plethora of other development related GNU
   2520 utilities) can be found in Support Level Supplement OSS658A, the "GNU
   2521 Development Tools" package.  See the SCO web and ftp sites for details.
   2522 That package also contains the currently "officially supported" version
   2523 of GCC, version 2.95.3.  It is useful for bootstrapping this version.
   2524 
   2525 i?86-*-solaris2.10
   2526 ==================
   2527 
   2528 Use this for Solaris 10 or later on x86 and x86-64 systems.  This
   2529 configuration is supported by GCC 4.0 and later versions only.
   2530 
   2531    It is recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler in
   2532 `/usr/sfw/bin/gas' but the Sun linker, using the options `--with-gnu-as
   2533 --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld'.
   2534 
   2535 i?86-*-udk
   2536 ==========
   2537 
   2538 This target emulates the SCO Universal Development Kit and requires that
   2539 package be installed.  (If it is installed, you will have a
   2540 `/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc' file present.)  It's very much like the
   2541 `i?86-*-unixware7*' target but is meant to be used when hosting on a
   2542 system where UDK isn't the default compiler such as OpenServer 5 or
   2543 Unixware 2.  This target will generate binaries that will run on
   2544 OpenServer, Unixware 2, or Unixware 7, with the same warnings and
   2545 caveats as the SCO UDK.
   2546 
   2547    This target is a little tricky to build because we have to
   2548 distinguish it from the native tools (so it gets headers, startups, and
   2549 libraries from the right place) while making the tools not think we're
   2550 actually building a cross compiler.   The easiest way to do this is
   2551 with a configure command like this:
   2552 
   2553          CC=/udk/usr/ccs/bin/cc /YOUR/PATH/TO/gcc/configure \
   2554            --host=i686-pc-udk --target=i686-pc-udk --program-prefix=udk-
   2555 
   2556    _You should substitute `i686' in the above command with the
   2557 appropriate processor for your host._
   2558 
   2559    After the usual `make' and `make install', you can then access the
   2560 UDK-targeted GCC tools by adding `udk-' before the commonly known name.
   2561 For example, to invoke the C compiler, you would use `udk-gcc'.  They
   2562 will coexist peacefully with any native-target GCC tools you may have
   2563 installed.
   2564 
   2565 ia64-*-linux
   2566 ============
   2567 
   2568 IA-64 processor (also known as IPF, or Itanium Processor Family)
   2569 running GNU/Linux.
   2570 
   2571    If you are using the installed system libunwind library with
   2572 `--with-system-libunwind', then you must use libunwind 0.98 or later.
   2573 
   2574    None of the following versions of GCC has an ABI that is compatible
   2575 with any of the other versions in this list, with the exception that
   2576 Red Hat 2.96 and Trillian 000171 are compatible with each other: 3.1,
   2577 3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0, Red Hat 2.96, and Trillian 000717.  This primarily
   2578 affects C++ programs and programs that create shared libraries.  GCC
   2579 3.1 or later is recommended for compiling linux, the kernel.  As of
   2580 version 3.1 GCC is believed to be fully ABI compliant, and hence no
   2581 more major ABI changes are expected.
   2582 
   2583 ia64-*-hpux*
   2584 ============
   2585 
   2586 Building GCC on this target requires the GNU Assembler.  The bundled HP
   2587 assembler will not work.  To prevent GCC from using the wrong assembler,
   2588 the option `--with-gnu-as' may be necessary.
   2589 
   2590    The GCC libunwind library has not been ported to HPUX.  This means
   2591 that for GCC versions 3.2.3 and earlier, `--enable-libunwind-exceptions'
   2592 is required to build GCC.  For GCC 3.3 and later, this is the default.
   2593 For gcc 3.4.3 and later, `--enable-libunwind-exceptions' is removed and
   2594 the system libunwind library will always be used.
   2595 
   2596 *-ibm-aix*
   2597 ==========
   2598 
   2599 Support for AIX version 3 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
   2600 
   2601    "out of memory" bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with
   2602 process resource limits (ulimit).  Hard limits are configured in the
   2603 `/etc/security/limits' system configuration file.
   2604 
   2605    To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing
   2606 GCC, one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX `/bin/sh', e.g.,
   2607 
   2608         % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash
   2609         % export CONFIG_SHELL
   2610 
   2611    and then proceed as described in the build instructions, where we
   2612 strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
   2613 SRCDIR/configure.
   2614 
   2615    Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default,
   2616 (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries
   2617 required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries.  Building GMP and MPFR
   2618 as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries.
   2619 
   2620    Errors involving `alloca' when building GCC generally are due to an
   2621 incorrect definition of `CC' in the Makefile or mixing files compiled
   2622 with the native C compiler and GCC.  During the stage1 phase of the
   2623 build, the native AIX compiler *must* be invoked as `cc' (not `xlc').
   2624 Once `configure' has been informed of `xlc', one needs to use `make
   2625 distclean' to remove the configure cache files and ensure that `CC'
   2626 environment variable does not provide a definition that will confuse
   2627 `configure'.  If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the
   2628 problem most likely is the version of Make (see above).
   2629 
   2630    The native `as' and `ld' are recommended for bootstrapping on AIX 4
   2631 and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L.  The GNU Assembler reports
   2632 that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to
   2633 utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported.  The GNU
   2634 Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap
   2635 GCC.  The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC.
   2636 
   2637    Building `libstdc++.a' requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug APAR
   2638 IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1).  It also requires a fix
   2639 for another AIX Assembler bug and a co-dependent AIX Archiver fix
   2640 referenced as APAR IY53606 (AIX 5.2) or a APAR IY54774 (AIX 5.1)
   2641 
   2642    `libstdc++' in GCC 3.4 increments the major version number of the
   2643 shared object and GCC installation places the `libstdc++.a' shared
   2644 library in a common location which will overwrite the and GCC 3.3
   2645 version of the shared library.  Applications either need to be
   2646 re-linked against the new shared library or the GCC 3.1 and GCC 3.3
   2647 versions of the `libstdc++' shared object needs to be available to the
   2648 AIX runtime loader.  The GCC 3.1 `libstdc++.so.4', if present, and GCC
   2649 3.3 `libstdc++.so.5' shared objects can be installed for runtime
   2650 dynamic loading using the following steps to set the `F_LOADONLY' flag
   2651 in the shared object for _each_ multilib `libstdc++.a' installed:
   2652 
   2653    Extract the shared objects from the currently installed
   2654 `libstdc++.a' archive:
   2655         % ar -x libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5
   2656 
   2657    Enable the `F_LOADONLY' flag so that the shared object will be
   2658 available for runtime dynamic loading, but not linking:
   2659         % strip -e libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5
   2660 
   2661    Archive the runtime-only shared object in the GCC 3.4 `libstdc++.a'
   2662 archive:
   2663         % ar -q libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.4 libstdc++.so.5
   2664 
   2665    Linking executables and shared libraries may produce warnings of
   2666 duplicate symbols.  The assembly files generated by GCC for AIX always
   2667 have included multiple symbol definitions for certain global variable
   2668 and function declarations in the original program.  The warnings should
   2669 not prevent the linker from producing a correct library or runnable
   2670 executable.
   2671 
   2672    AIX 4.3 utilizes a "large format" archive to support both 32-bit and
   2673 64-bit object modules.  The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1
   2674 to parse archive libraries did not handle the new format correctly.
   2675 These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during
   2676 linking such as "not a COFF file".  The version of the routines shipped
   2677 with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment.  The `-g' option
   2678 of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit objects
   2679 using the original "small format".  A correct version of the routines
   2680 is shipped with AIX 4.3.2 and above.
   2681 
   2682    Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation
   2683 overflow severe error when the `-bbigtoc' option is used to link
   2684 GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC.  A
   2685 fix for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC)
   2686 is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
   2687 techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.
   2688 
   2689    The AIX 4.3.2.1 linker (bos.rte.bind_cmds Level 4.3.2.1) will dump
   2690 core with a segmentation fault when invoked by any version of GCC.  A
   2691 fix for APAR IX87327 is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
   2692 techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U461879.  This fix is
   2693 incorporated in AIX 4.3.3 and above.
   2694 
   2695    The initial assembler shipped with AIX 4.3.0 generates incorrect
   2696 object files.  A fix for APAR IX74254 (64BIT DISASSEMBLED OUTPUT FROM
   2697 COMPILER FAILS TO ASSEMBLE/BIND) is available from IBM Customer Support
   2698 and from its techsupport.services.ibm.com website as PTF U453956.  This
   2699 fix is incorporated in AIX 4.3.1 and above.
   2700 
   2701    AIX provides National Language Support (NLS).  Compilers and
   2702 assemblers use NLS to support locale-specific representations of
   2703 various data formats including floating-point numbers (e.g., `.'  vs
   2704 `,' for separating decimal fractions).  There have been problems
   2705 reported where GCC does not produce the same floating-point formats
   2706 that the assembler expects.  If one encounters this problem, set the
   2707 `LANG' environment variable to `C' or `En_US'.
   2708 
   2709    By default, GCC for AIX 4.1 and above produces code that can be used
   2710 on both Power or PowerPC processors.
   2711 
   2712    A default can be specified with the `-mcpu=CPU_TYPE' switch and
   2713 using the configure option `--with-cpu-CPU_TYPE'.

   2746 ============
   2747 
   2748 HP 9000 series 300 or 400 running HP-UX.  HP-UX version 8.0 has a bug in
   2749 the assembler that prevents compilation of GCC.  This bug manifests
   2750 itself during the first stage of compilation, while building
   2751 `libgcc2.a':
   2752 
   2753      _floatdisf
   2754      cc1: warning: `-g' option not supported on this version of GCC
   2755      cc1: warning: `-g1' option not supported on this version of GCC
   2756      ./xgcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11
   2757 
   2758    A patched version of the assembler is available as the file
   2759 `ftp://altdorf.ai.mit.edu/archive/cph/hpux-8.0-assembler'.  If you have
   2760 HP software support, the patch can also be obtained directly from HP,
   2761 as described in the following note:
   2762 
   2763      This is the patched assembler, to patch SR#1653-010439, where the
   2764      assembler aborts on floating point constants.
   2765 
   2766      The bug is not really in the assembler, but in the shared library
   2767      version of the function "cvtnum(3c)".  The bug on "cvtnum(3c)" is
   2768      SR#4701-078451.  Anyway, the attached assembler uses the archive
   2769      library version of "cvtnum(3c)" and thus does not exhibit the bug.
   2770 
   2771    This patch is also known as PHCO_4484.
   2772 
   2773    In addition gdb does not understand that native HP-UX format, so you
   2774 must use gas if you wish to use gdb.
   2775 
   2776    On HP-UX version 8.05, but not on 8.07 or more recent versions, the
   2777 `fixproto' shell script triggers a bug in the system shell.  If you
   2778 encounter this problem, upgrade your operating system or use BASH (the
   2779 GNU shell) to run `fixproto'.  This bug will cause the fixproto program
   2780 to report an error of the form:
   2781 
   2782      ./fixproto: sh internal 1K buffer overflow
   2783 
   2784    To fix this, you can also change the first line of the fixproto
   2785 script to look like:
   2786 
   2787      #!/bin/ksh
   2788 
   2789 mips-*-*
   2790 ========
   2791 
   2792 If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying "does not have gp
   2793 sections for all it's [sic] sectons [sic]", don't worry about it.  This
   2794 happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not
   2795 really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file.  You can
   2796 stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker.
   2797 
   2798    It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are
   2799 optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence.
   2800 
   2801    The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS
   2802 II and later.  A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to make
   2803 `mips*-*-*' use the generic implementation instead.  You can also
   2804 configure for `mipsel-elf' as a workaround.  The `mips*-*-linux*'
   2805 target continues to use the MIPS II routines.  More work on this is
   2806 expected in future releases.
   2807 
   2808    MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless
   2809 `-mno-check-zero-division' is passed to the compiler) by generating
   2810 either a conditional trap or a break instruction.  Using trap results
   2811 in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and later.  Also,
   2812 some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that prevents trap from
   2813 generating the proper signal (`SIGFPE').  To enable the use of break,
   2814 use the `--with-divide=breaks' `configure' option when configuring GCC.
   2815 The default is to use traps on systems that support them.
   2816 
   2817    Cross-compilers for the MIPS as target using the MIPS assembler
   2818 currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs `mips-tdump.c'
   2819 and `mips-tfile.c' can't be compiled on anything but a MIPS.  It does
   2820 work to cross compile for a MIPS if you use the GNU assembler and
   2821 linker.
   2822 
   2823    The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way
   2824 it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI).  This can cause
   2825 bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs.  Also the linker from
   2826 GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the runtime
   2827 linker stubs in very large programs, like `libgcj.so', to be
   2828 incorrectly generated.  Binutils CVS snapshots and releases made after
   2829 Nov. 9, 2006 are thought to be free from both of these problems.
   2830 
   2831 mips-sgi-irix5
   2832 ==============
   2833 
   2834 In order to compile GCC on an SGI running IRIX 5, the `compiler_dev.hdr'
   2835 subsystem must be installed from the IDO CD-ROM supplied by SGI.  It is
   2836 also available for download from
   2837 `ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist'.
   2838 
   2839    If you use the MIPS C compiler to bootstrap, it may be necessary to
   2840 increase its table size for switch statements with the `-Wf,-XNg1500'
   2841 option.  If you use the `-O2' optimization option, you also need to use
   2842 `-Olimit 3000'.
   2843 
   2844    To enable debugging under IRIX 5, you must use GNU binutils 2.15 or
   2845 later, and use the `--with-gnu-ld' `configure' option when configuring
   2846 GCC.  You need to use GNU `ar' and `nm', also distributed with GNU
   2847 binutils.
   2848 
   2849    Some users have reported that `/bin/sh' will hang during bootstrap.
   2850 This problem can be avoided by running the commands:
   2851 
   2852         % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
   2853         % export CONFIG_SHELL
   2854 
   2855    before starting the build.
   2856 
   2857 mips-sgi-irix6
   2858 ==============
   2859 
   2860 If you are using SGI's MIPSpro `cc' as your bootstrap compiler, you must
   2861 ensure that the N32 ABI is in use.  To test this, compile a simple C
   2862 file with `cc' and then run `file' on the resulting object file.  The
   2863 output should look like:
   2864 
   2865      test.o: ELF N32 MSB ...
   2866 
   2867    If you see:
   2868 
   2869      test.o: ELF 32-bit MSB ...
   2870 
   2871    or
   2872 
   2873      test.o: ELF 64-bit MSB ...
   2874 
   2875    then your version of `cc' uses the O32 or N64 ABI by default.  You
   2876 should set the environment variable `CC' to `cc -n32' before
   2877 configuring GCC.
   2878 
   2879    If you want the resulting `gcc' to run on old 32-bit systems with
   2880 the MIPS R4400 CPU, you need to ensure that only code for the `mips3'
   2881 instruction set architecture (ISA) is generated.  While GCC 3.x does
   2882 this correctly, both GCC 2.95 and SGI's MIPSpro `cc' may change the ISA
   2883 depending on the machine where GCC is built.  Using one of them as the
   2884 bootstrap compiler may result in `mips4' code, which won't run at all
   2885 on `mips3'-only systems.  For the test program above, you should see:
   2886 
   2887      test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 ...
   2888 
   2889    If you get:
   2890 
   2891      test.o: ELF N32 MSB mips-4 ...
   2892 
   2893    instead, you should set the environment variable `CC' to `cc -n32
   2894 -mips3' or `gcc -mips3' respectively before configuring GCC.
   2895 
   2896    MIPSpro C 7.4 may cause bootstrap failures, due to a bug when
   2897 inlining `memcmp'.  Either add `-U__INLINE_INTRINSICS' to the `CC'
   2898 environment variable as a workaround or upgrade to MIPSpro C 7.4.1m.
   2899 
   2900    GCC on IRIX 6 is usually built to support the N32, O32 and N64 ABIs.
   2901 If you build GCC on a system that doesn't have the N64 libraries
   2902 installed or cannot run 64-bit binaries, you need to configure with
   2903 `--disable-multilib' so GCC doesn't try to use them.  This will disable
   2904 building the O32 libraries, too.  Look for `/usr/lib64/libc.so.1' to
   2905 see if you have the 64-bit libraries installed.
   2906 
   2907    To enable debugging for the O32 ABI, you must use GNU `as' from GNU
   2908 binutils 2.15 or later.  You may also use GNU `ld', but this is not
   2909 required and currently causes some problems with Ada.
   2910 
   2911    The `--enable-threads' option doesn't currently work, a patch is in
   2912 preparation for a future release.  The `--enable-libgcj' option is
   2913 disabled by default: IRIX 6 uses a very low default limit (20480) for
   2914 the command line length.  Although `libtool' contains a workaround for
   2915 this problem, at least the N64 `libgcj' is known not to build despite
   2916 this, running into an internal error of the native `ld'.  A sure fix is
   2917 to increase this limit (`ncargs') to its maximum of 262144 bytes.  If
   2918 you have root access, you can use the `systune' command to do this.
   2919 
   2920    `wchar_t' support in `libstdc++' is not available for old IRIX 6.5.x
   2921 releases, x < 19.  The problem cannot be autodetected and in order to
   2922 build GCC for such targets you need to configure with
   2923 `--disable-wchar_t'.

   2926 on IRIX platforms.

   2942 `http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/compiler/' (free
   2943 registration required).
   2944 
   2945    This version of GCC requires at least cctools-590.7.
   2946 
   2947    The version of GCC shipped by Apple typically includes a number of
   2948 extensions not available in a standard GCC release.  These extensions
   2949 are generally for backwards compatibility and best avoided.

   3010 
   3011 *-*-solaris2*
   3012 =============
   3013 
   3014 Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2.  To bootstrap and install
   3015 GCC you first have to install a pre-built compiler, see the binaries
   3016 page for details.
   3017 
   3018    The Solaris 2 `/bin/sh' will often fail to configure `libstdc++-v3',
   3019 `boehm-gc' or `libjava'.  We therefore recommend using the following
   3020 initial sequence of commands
   3021 
   3022         % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
   3023         % export CONFIG_SHELL
   3024 
   3025    and proceed as described in the configure instructions.  In addition
   3026 we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
   3027 SRCDIR/configure.
   3028 
   3029    Solaris 2 comes with a number of optional OS packages.  Some of these
   3030 are needed to use GCC fully, namely `SUNWarc', `SUNWbtool', `SUNWesu',
   3031 `SUNWhea', `SUNWlibm', `SUNWsprot', and `SUNWtoo'.  If you did not
   3032 install all optional packages when installing Solaris 2, you will need
   3033 to verify that the packages that GCC needs are installed.
   3034 
   3035    To check whether an optional package is installed, use the `pkginfo'
   3036 command.  To add an optional package, use the `pkgadd' command.  For
   3037 further details, see the Solaris 2 documentation.
   3038 
   3039    Trying to use the linker and other tools in `/usr/ucb' to install
   3040 GCC has been observed to cause trouble.  For example, the linker may
   3041 hang indefinitely.  The fix is to remove `/usr/ucb' from your `PATH'.
   3042 
   3043    The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so,
   3044 if you have `/usr/xpg4/bin' in your `PATH', we recommend that you place
   3045 `/usr/bin' before `/usr/xpg4/bin' for the duration of the build.
   3046 
   3047    All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this
   3048 platform.  We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.11.2 or later, or the
   3049 vendor tools (Sun `as', Sun `ld').  Note that your mileage may vary if
   3050 you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Sun tools: while the
   3051 combination GNU `as' + Sun `ld' should reasonably work, the reverse
   3052 combination Sun `as' + GNU `ld' is known to cause memory corruption at
   3053 runtime in some cases for C++ programs.
   3054 
   3055    The stock GNU binutils 2.15 release is broken on this platform
   3056 because of a single bug.  It has been fixed on the 2.15 branch in the
   3057 CVS repository.  You can obtain a working version by checking out the
   3058 binutils-2_15-branch from the CVS repository or applying the patch
   3059 `http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-09/msg00036.html' to the
   3060 release.
   3061 
   3062    We recommend using GNU binutils 2.16 or later in conjunction with
   3063 GCC 4.x, or the vendor tools (Sun `as', Sun `ld').  However, for
   3064 Solaris 10 and above, an additional patch is required in order for the
   3065 GNU linker to be able to cope with a new flavor of shared libraries.
   3066 You can obtain a working version by checking out the
   3067 binutils-2_16-branch from the CVS repository or applying the patch
   3068 `http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2005-07/msg00122.html' to the
   3069 release.
   3070 
   3071    Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or
   3072 newer: `g++' will complain that types are missing.  These headers assume
   3073 that omitting the type means `int'; this assumption worked for C89 but
   3074 is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also.
   3075 
   3076    `g++' accepts such (invalid) constructs with the option
   3077 `-fpermissive'; it will assume that any missing type is `int' (as
   3078 defined by C89).
   3079 
   3080    There are patches for Solaris 2.6 (105633-56 or newer for SPARC,
   3081 106248-42 or newer for Intel), Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC,
   3082 108377-20 for Intel), and Solaris 8 (108652-24 or newer for SPARC,
   3083 108653-22 for Intel) that fix this bug.
   3084 
   3085    Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures
   3086 related to missing diagnostic output.  This bug doesn't affect GCC
   3087 itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the `expect' program
   3088 which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver.  When the bug causes
   3089 the `expect' program to miss anticipated output, extra testsuite
   3090 failures appear.
   3091 
   3092    There are patches for Solaris 8 (117350-12 or newer for SPARC,
   3093 117351-12 or newer for Intel) and Solaris 9 (117171-11 or newer for
   3094 SPARC, 117172-11 or newer for Intel) that address this problem.
   3095 
   3096 sparc-sun-solaris2*
   3097 ===================
   3098 
   3099 When GCC is configured to use binutils 2.11.2 or later the binaries
   3100 produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun's native tools;
   3101 this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging
   3102 information.
   3103 
   3104    Sun `as' 4.x is broken in that it cannot cope with long symbol names.
   3105 A typical error message might look similar to the following:
   3106 
   3107      /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccMsw135.s", line 11041: error:
   3108        can't compute value of an expression involving an external symbol.
   3109 
   3110    This is Sun bug 4237974.  This is fixed with patch 108908-02 for
   3111 Solaris 2.6 and has been fixed in later (5.x) versions of the assembler,
   3112 starting with Solaris 7.
   3113 
   3114    Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
   3115 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries.  GCC 3.1 and later properly supports this;
   3116 the `-m64' option enables 64-bit code generation.  However, if all you
   3117 want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you should try the
   3118 `-mtune=ultrasparc' option instead, which produces code that, unlike
   3119 full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC machines.
   3120 
   3121    When configuring on a Solaris 7 or later system that is running a
   3122 kernel that supports only 32-bit binaries, one must configure with
   3123 `--disable-multilib', since we will not be able to build the 64-bit
   3124 target libraries.
   3125 
   3126    GCC 3.3 and GCC 3.4 trigger code generation bugs in earlier versions
   3127 of the GNU compiler (especially GCC 3.0.x versions), which lead to the
   3128 miscompilation of the stage1 compiler and the subsequent failure of the
   3129 bootstrap process.  A workaround is to use GCC 3.2.3 as an intermediary
   3130 stage, i.e. to bootstrap that compiler with the base compiler and then
   3131 use it to bootstrap the final compiler.
   3132 
   3133    GCC 3.4 triggers a code generation bug in versions 5.4 (Sun ONE
   3134 Studio 7) and 5.5 (Sun ONE Studio 8) of the Sun compiler, which causes
   3135 a bootstrap failure in form of a miscompilation of the stage1 compiler
   3136 by the Sun compiler.  This is Sun bug 4974440.  This is fixed with
   3137 patch 112760-07.
   3138 
   3139    GCC 3.4 changed the default debugging format from STABS to DWARF-2
   3140 for 32-bit code on Solaris 7 and later.  If you use the Sun assembler,
   3141 this change apparently runs afoul of Sun bug 4910101 (which is
   3142 referenced as a x86-only problem by Sun, probably because they do not
   3143 use DWARF-2).  A symptom of the problem is that you cannot compile C++
   3144 programs like `groff' 1.19.1 without getting messages similar to the
   3145 following:
   3146 
   3147      ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: ...
   3148        external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section
   3149        .debug_info cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored.
   3150 
   3151    To work around this problem, compile with `-gstabs+' instead of
   3152 plain `-g'.
   3153 
   3154    When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR
   3155 library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical target triplet
   3156 must be specified as the `build' parameter on the configure line.  This
   3157 triplet can be obtained by invoking ./config.guess in the toplevel
   3158 source directory of GCC (and not that of GMP or MPFR).  For example on
   3159 a Solaris 7 system:
   3160 
   3161         % ./configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx
   3162 
   3163 sparc-sun-solaris2.7
   3164 ====================
   3165 
   3166 Sun patch 107058-01 (1999-01-13) for Solaris 7/SPARC triggers a bug in
   3167 the dynamic linker.  This problem (Sun bug 4210064) affects GCC 2.8 and
   3168 later, including all EGCS releases.  Sun formerly recommended 107058-01
   3169 for all Solaris 7 users, but around 1999-09-01 it started to recommend
   3170 it only for people who use Sun's compilers.
   3171 
   3172    Here are some workarounds to this problem:
   3173    * Do not install Sun patch 107058-01 until after Sun releases a
   3174      complete patch for bug 4210064.  This is the simplest course to
   3175      take, unless you must also use Sun's C compiler.  Unfortunately
   3176      107058-01 is preinstalled on some new Solaris 7-based hosts, so
   3177      you may have to back it out.
   3178 
   3179    * Copy the original, unpatched Solaris 7 `/usr/ccs/bin/as' into
   3180      `/usr/local/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/3.4/as', adjusting
   3181      the latter name to fit your local conventions and software version
   3182      numbers.
   3183 
   3184    * Install Sun patch 106950-03 (1999-05-25) or later.  Nobody with
   3185      both 107058-01 and 106950-03 installed has reported the bug with
   3186      GCC and Sun's dynamic linker.  This last course of action is
   3187      riskiest, for two reasons.  First, you must install 106950 on all
   3188      hosts that run code generated by GCC; it doesn't suffice to
   3189      install it only on the hosts that run GCC itself.  Second, Sun
   3190      says that 106950-03 is only a partial fix for bug 4210064, but Sun
   3191      doesn't know whether the partial fix is adequate for GCC.
   3192      Revision -08 or later should fix the bug.  The current (as of
   3193      2004-05-23) revision is -24, and is included in the Solaris 7
   3194      Recommended Patch Cluster.
   3195 
   3196    GCC 3.3 triggers a bug in version 5.0 Alpha 03/27/98 of the Sun
   3197 assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure when linking the 64-bit
   3198 shared version of libgcc.  A typical error message is:
   3199 
   3200      ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file libgcc/sparcv9/_muldi3.o:
   3201        symbol <unknown>:  offset 0xffffffff7ec133e7 is non-aligned.
   3202 
   3203    This bug has been fixed in the final 5.0 version of the assembler.
   3204 
   3205    A similar problem was reported for version Sun WorkShop 6 99/08/18
   3206 of the Sun assembler, which causes a bootstrap failure with GCC 4.0.0:
   3207 
   3208      ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_DISP32:
   3209        file .libs/libstdc++.lax/libsupc++convenience.a/vterminate.o:
   3210          symbol <unknown>: offset 0xfccd33ad is non-aligned
   3211 
   3212    This bug has been fixed in more recent revisions of the assembler.
   3213 
   3214 sparc-*-linux*
   3215 ==============
   3216 
   3217 GCC versions 3.0 and higher require binutils 2.11.2 and glibc 2.2.4 or
   3218 newer on this platform.  All earlier binutils and glibc releases
   3219 mishandled unaligned relocations on `sparc-*-*' targets.
   3220 
   3221 sparc64-*-solaris2*
   3222 ===================
   3223 
   3224 When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) or the MPFR
   3225 library, the canonical target triplet must be specified as the `build'
   3226 parameter on the configure line.  For example on a Solaris 7 system:
   3227 
   3228         % ./configure --build=sparc64-sun-solaris2.7 --prefix=xxx
   3229 
   3230    The following compiler flags must be specified in the configure step
   3231 in order to bootstrap this target with the Sun compiler:
   3232 
   3233         % CC="cc -xarch=v9 -xildoff" SRCDIR/configure [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
   3234 
   3235    `-xarch=v9' specifies the SPARC-V9 architecture to the Sun toolchain
   3236 and `-xildoff' turns off the incremental linker.
   3237 
   3238 sparcv9-*-solaris2*
   3239 ===================
   3240 
   3241 This is a synonym for sparc64-*-solaris2*.
   3242 
   3243 *-*-sysv*
   3244 =========
   3245 
   3246 On System V release 3, you may get this error message while linking:
   3247 
   3248      ld fatal: failed to write symbol name SOMETHING
   3249       in strings table for file WHATEVER
   3250 
   3251    This probably indicates that the disk is full or your ulimit won't
   3252 allow the file to be as large as it needs to be.
   3253 
   3254    This problem can also result because the kernel parameter `MAXUMEM'
   3255 is too small.  If so, you must regenerate the kernel and make the value
   3256 much larger.  The default value is reported to be 1024; a value of 32768
   3257 is said to work.  Smaller values may also work.
   3258 
   3259    On System V, if you get an error like this,
   3260 
   3261      /usr/local/lib/bison.simple: In function `yyparse':
   3262      /usr/local/lib/bison.simple:625: virtual memory exhausted
   3263 
   3264 that too indicates a problem with disk space, ulimit, or `MAXUMEM'.
   3265 
   3266    On a System V release 4 system, make sure `/usr/bin' precedes
   3267 `/usr/ucb' in `PATH'.  The `cc' command in `/usr/ucb' uses libraries
   3268 which have bugs.
   3269 
   3270 vax-dec-ultrix
   3271 ==============
   3272 
   3273 Don't try compiling with VAX C (`vcc').  It produces incorrect code in
   3274 some cases (for example, when `alloca' is used).
   3275 
   3276 *-*-vxworks*
   3277 ============
   3278 
   3279 Support for VxWorks is in flux.  At present GCC supports _only_ the
   3280 very recent VxWorks 5.5 (aka Tornado 2.2) release, and only on PowerPC.
   3281 We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.
   3282 Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely
   3283 a matter of writing an appropriate "configlette" (see below).  We are
   3284 not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of
   3285 VxWorks in GCC 3.
   3286 
   3287    VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in
   3288 `$WIND_BASE/host'; we recommend you do not overwrite it.  Choose an
   3289 installation PREFIX entirely outside $WIND_BASE.  Before running
   3290 `configure', create the directories `PREFIX' and `PREFIX/bin'.  Link or
   3291 copy the appropriate assembler, linker, etc. into `PREFIX/bin', and set
   3292 your PATH to include that directory while running both `configure' and
   3293 `make'.
   3294 
   3295    You must give `configure' the `--with-headers=$WIND_BASE/target/h'
   3296 switch so that it can find the VxWorks system headers.  Since VxWorks
   3297 is a cross compilation target only, you must also specify
   3298 `--target=TARGET'.  `configure' will attempt to create the directory
   3299 `PREFIX/TARGET/sys-include' and copy files into it; make sure the user
   3300 running `configure' has sufficient privilege to do so.
   3301 
   3302    GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special "configlette"
   3303 module, `contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c'.  Follow the instructions in that
   3304 file to add the module to your kernel build.  (Future versions of
   3305 VxWorks will incorporate this module.)
   3306 
   3307 x86_64-*-*, amd64-*-*
   3308 =====================
   3309 
   3310 GCC supports the x86-64 architecture implemented by the AMD64 processor
   3311 (amd64-*-* is an alias for x86_64-*-*) on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
   3312 On GNU/Linux the default is a bi-arch compiler which is able to generate
   3313 both 64-bit x86-64 and 32-bit x86 code (via the `-m32' switch).
   3314 
   3315 xtensa-*-elf
   3316 ============
   3317 
   3318 This target is intended for embedded Xtensa systems using the `newlib'
   3319 C library.  It uses ELF but does not support shared objects.
   3320 Designed-defined instructions specified via the Tensilica Instruction
   3321 Extension (TIE) language are only supported through inline assembly.
   3322 
   3323    The Xtensa configuration information must be specified prior to
   3324 building GCC.  The `include/xtensa-config.h' header file contains the
   3325 configuration information.  If you created your own Xtensa
   3326 configuration with the Xtensa Processor Generator, the downloaded files
   3327 include a customized copy of this header file, which you can use to
   3328 replace the default header file.
   3329 
   3330 xtensa-*-linux*
   3331 ===============
   3332 
   3333 This target is for Xtensa systems running GNU/Linux.  It supports ELF
   3334 shared objects and the GNU C library (glibc).  It also generates
   3335 position-independent code (PIC) regardless of whether the `-fpic' or
   3336 `-fPIC' options are used.  In other respects, this target is the same
   3337 as the `xtensa-*-elf' target.
   3338 
   3339 Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
   3340 ==========================
   3341 
   3342 Ports of GCC are included with the Cygwin environment.
   3343 
   3344    GCC will build under Cygwin without modification; it does not build
   3345 with Microsoft's C++ compiler and there are no plans to make it do so.
   3346 
   3347 OS/2
   3348 ====
   3349 
   3350 GCC does not currently support OS/2.  However, Andrew Zabolotny has been
   3351 working on a generic OS/2 port with pgcc.  The current code can be found
   3352 at http://www.goof.com/pcg/os2/.
   3353 
   3354 Older systems
   3355 =============
   3356 
   3357 GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early 1990s) Unix
   3358 variants.  For the most part, support for these systems has not been
   3359 deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for several years
   3360 and may suffer from bitrot.
   3361 
   3362    Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of "obsoleted"
   3363 systems.  Support for these systems is still present in that release,
   3364 but `configure' will fail unless the `--enable-obsolete' option is
   3365 given.  Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these systems
   3366 will be removed from the next release of GCC.
   3367 
   3368    Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
   3369 workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
   3370 cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC.  In some cases, to
   3371 bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
   3372 require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
   3373 system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the
   3374 vendor compiler.  Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the
   3375 `old-releases' directory on the GCC mirror sites.  Header bugs may
   3376 generally be avoided using `fixincludes', but bugs or deficiencies in
   3377 libraries and the operating system may still cause problems.
   3378 
   3379    Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
   3380 problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast
   3381 wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of
   3382 the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last
   3383 version before they were removed), patches following the usual
   3384 requirements would be likely to be accepted, since they should not
   3385 affect the support for more modern targets.
   3386 
   3387    For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
   3388 and are available from `pub/binutils/old-releases' on sourceware.org
   3389 mirror sites.
   3390 
   3391    Some of the information on specific systems above relates to such
   3392 older systems, but much of the information about GCC on such systems
   3393 (which may no longer be applicable to current GCC) is to be found in
   3394 the GCC texinfo manual.
   3395 
   3396 all ELF targets (SVR4, Solaris 2, etc.)
   3397 =======================================
   3398 
   3399 C++ support is significantly better on ELF targets if you use the GNU
   3400 linker; duplicate copies of inlines, vtables and template
   3401 instantiations will be discarded automatically.

   3407 *********************************
   3408 
   3409    Note most of this information is out of date and superseded by the
   3410 previous chapters of this manual.  It is provided for historical
   3411 reference only, because of a lack of volunteers to merge it into the
   3412 main manual.
   3413 
   3414 * Menu:
   3415 
   3416 * Configurations::    Configurations Supported by GCC.
   3417 
   3418    Here is the procedure for installing GCC on a GNU or Unix system.
   3419 
   3420   1. If you have chosen a configuration for GCC which requires other GNU
   3421      tools (such as GAS or the GNU linker) instead of the standard
   3422      system tools, install the required tools in the build directory
   3423      under the names `as', `ld' or whatever is appropriate.
   3424 
   3425      Alternatively, you can do subsequent compilation using a value of
   3426      the `PATH' environment variable such that the necessary GNU tools
   3427      come before the standard system tools.
   3428 
   3429   2. Specify the host, build and target machine configurations.  You do
   3430      this when you run the `configure' script.
   3431 
   3432      The "build" machine is the system which you are using, the "host"
   3433      machine is the system where you want to run the resulting compiler
   3434      (normally the build machine), and the "target" machine is the
   3435      system for which you want the compiler to generate code.
   3436 
   3437      If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it
   3438      runs on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify
   3439      any operands to `configure'; it will try to guess the type of
   3440      machine you are on and use that as the build, host and target
   3441      machines.  So you don't need to specify a configuration when
   3442      building a native compiler unless `configure' cannot figure out
   3443      what your configuration is or guesses wrong.
   3444 
   3445      In those cases, specify the build machine's "configuration name"
   3446      with the `--host' option; the host and target will default to be
   3447      the same as the host machine.
   3448 
   3449      Here is an example:
   3450 
   3451           ./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
   3452 
   3453      A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less
   3454      abbreviated.
   3455 
   3456      A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by
   3457      dashes.  It looks like this: `CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM'.  (The three
   3458      parts may themselves contain dashes; `configure' can figure out
   3459      which dashes serve which purpose.)  For example,
   3460      `m68k-sun-sunos4.1' specifies a Sun 3.
   3461 
   3462      You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or
   3463      aliases.  For example, `sun3' stands for `m68k-sun', so
   3464      `sun3-sunos4.1' is another way to specify a Sun 3.
   3465 
   3466      You can specify a version number after any of the system types,
   3467      and some of the CPU types.  In most cases, the version is
   3468      irrelevant, and will be ignored.  So you might as well specify the
   3469      version if you know it.
   3470 
   3471      See *Note Configurations::, for a list of supported configuration
   3472      names and notes on many of the configurations.  You should check
   3473      the notes in that section before proceeding any further with the
   3474      installation of GCC.

   3480 10.1 Configurations Supported by GCC
   3481 ====================================
   3482 
   3483    Here are the possible CPU types:
   3484 
   3485      1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, avr, cN, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30,
   3486      h8300, hppa1.0, hppa1.1, i370, i386, i486, i586, i686, i786, i860,
   3487      i960, ip2k, m32r, m68000, m68k, m6811, m6812, m88k, mcore, mips,
   3488      mipsel, mips64, mips64el, mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc,
   3489      powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc, sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax,
   3490      we32k.
   3491 
   3492    Here are the recognized company names.  As you can see, customary
   3493 abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names.
   3494 
   3495      acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull, cbm, convergent,
   3496      convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin, elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi,
   3497      hp, ibm, intergraph, isi, mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron,
   3498      plexus, sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs.
   3499 
   3500    The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of
   3501 the information supplied is insufficient.  You can omit it, writing
   3502 just `CPU-SYSTEM', if it is not needed.  For example, `vax-ultrix4.2'
   3503 is equivalent to `vax-dec-ultrix4.2'.
   3504 
   3505    Here is a list of system types:
   3506 
   3507      386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff,
   3508      ctix, cxux, dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms,
   3509      genix, gnu, linux, linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna,
   3510      lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs, netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf,
   3511      osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim, solaris, sunos, sym,
   3512      sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta, vxworks,
   3513      winnt, xenix.
   3514 
   3515 You can omit the system type; then `configure' guesses the operating
   3516 system from the CPU and company.
   3517 
   3518    You can add a version number to the system type; this may or may not
   3519 make a difference.  For example, you can write `bsd4.3' or `bsd4.4' to
   3520 distinguish versions of BSD.  In practice, the version number is most
   3521 needed for `sysv3' and `sysv4', which are often treated differently.
   3522 
   3523    `linux-gnu' is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however
   3524 GCC will also accept `linux'.  The version of the kernel in use is not
   3525 relevant on these systems.  A suffix such as `libc1' or `aout'
   3526 distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed
   3527 versions are obsolete.
   3528 
   3529    If you specify an impossible combination such as `i860-dg-vms', then
   3530 you may get an error message from `configure', or it may ignore part of
   3531 the information and do the best it can with the rest.  `configure'
   3532 always prints the canonical name for the alternative that it used.  GCC
   3533 does not support all possible alternatives.
   3534 
   3535    Often a particular model of machine has a name.  Many machine names
   3536 are recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations.  Thus, the
   3537 machine name `sun3', mentioned above, is an alias for `m68k-sun'.
   3538 Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is
   3539 popularly used for a particular machine.  Here is a table of the known
   3540 machine names:
   3541 
   3542      3300, 3b1, 3bN, 7300, altos3068, altos, apollo68, att-7300,
   3543      balance, convex-cN, crds, decstation-3100, decstation, delta,
   3544      encore, fx2800, gmicro, hp7NN, hp8NN, hp9k2NN, hp9k3NN, hp9k7NN,
   3545      hp9k8NN, iris4d, iris, isi68, m3230, magnum, merlin, miniframe,
   3546      mmax, news-3600, news800, news, next, pbd, pc532, pmax, powerpc,
   3547      powerpcle, ps2, risc-news, rtpc, sun2, sun386i, sun386, sun3,
   3548      sun4, symmetry, tower-32, tower.
   3549 
   3550 Remember that a machine name specifies both the cpu type and the company
   3551 name.  If you want to install your own homemade configuration files,
   3552 you can use `local' as the company name to access them.  If you use
   3553 configuration `CPU-local', the configuration name without the cpu prefix
   3554 is used to form the configuration file names.
   3555 
   3556    Thus, if you specify `m68k-local', configuration uses files
   3557 `m68k.md', `local.h', `m68k.c', `xm-local.h', `t-local', and `x-local',
   3558 all in the directory `config/m68k'.

   3571      Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
   3572      of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
   3573 
   3574   0. PREAMBLE
   3575 
   3576      The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
   3577      functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
   3578      assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
   3579      with or without modifying it, either commercially or
   3580      noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
   3581      author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
   3582      being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
   3583 
   3584      This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
   3585      works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
   3586      It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
   3587      license designed for free software.
   3588 
   3589      We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
   3590      free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
   3591      free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
   3592      that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
   3593      software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
   3594      of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
   3595      We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
   3596      instruction or reference.
   3597 
   3598   1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
   3599 
   3600      This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
   3601      that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
   3602      can be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
   3603      grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
   3604      to use that work under the conditions stated herein.  The
   3605      "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.  Any member
   3606      of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You
   3607      accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
   3608      way requiring permission under copyright law.
   3609 
   3610      A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
   3611      Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
   3612      modifications and/or translated into another language.
   3613 
   3614      A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
   3615      of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
   3616      publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
   3617      subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
   3618      fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
   3619      is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
   3620      explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
   3621      historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
   3622      of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
   3623      regarding them.
   3624 
   3625      The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
   3626      titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
   3627      the notice that says that the Document is released under this
   3628      License.  If a section does not fit the above definition of
   3629      Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
   3630      The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document
   3631      does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
   3632 
   3633      The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
   3634      listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
   3635      that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
   3636      Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
   3637      be at most 25 words.
   3638 
   3639      A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
   3640      represented in a format whose specification is available to the
   3641      general public, that is suitable for revising the document
   3642      straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
   3643      composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
   3644      widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
   3645      text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
   3646      formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
   3647      otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
   3648      markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
   3649      modification by readers is not Transparent.  An image format is
   3650      not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text.  A
   3651      copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
   3652 
   3653      Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
   3654      ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
   3655      SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
   3656      standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
   3657      human modification.  Examples of transparent image formats include
   3658      PNG, XCF and JPG.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
   3659      can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
   3660      XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
   3661      available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
   3662      produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
   3663 
   3664      The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
   3665      plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
   3666      material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
   3667      works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
   3668      Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
   3669      work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
   3670 
   3671      A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
   3672      whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
   3673      following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
   3674      stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
   3675      "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
   3676      To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
   3677      Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
   3678      to this definition.
   3679 
   3680      The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
   3681      which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
   3682      Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
   3683      this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
   3684      implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
   3685      has no effect on the meaning of this License.
   3686 
   3687   2. VERBATIM COPYING
   3688 
   3689      You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
   3690      commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
   3691      copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
   3692      applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
   3693      add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
   3694      may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
   3695      or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
   3696      you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
   3697      distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
   3698      the conditions in section 3.
   3699 
   3700      You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
   3701      and you may publicly display copies.
   3702 
   3703   3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
   3704 
   3705      If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
   3706      have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
   3707      the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
   3708      enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
   3709      these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
   3710      Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
   3711      and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
   3712      front cover must present the full title with all words of the
   3713      title equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material
   3714      on the covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the
   3715      covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
   3716      satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
   3717      other respects.
   3718 
   3719      If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
   3720      legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
   3721      reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
   3722      adjacent pages.
   3723 
   3724      If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
   3725      numbering more than 100, you must either include a
   3726      machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
   3727      state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
   3728      which the general network-using public has access to download
   3729      using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
   3730      copy of the Document, free of added material.  If you use the
   3731      latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
   3732      begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
   3733      this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
   3734      location until at least one year after the last time you
   3735      distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
   3736      retailers) of that edition to the public.
   3737 
   3738      It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
   3739      the Document well before redistributing any large number of
   3740      copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
   3741      version of the Document.
   3742 
   3743   4. MODIFICATIONS
   3744 
   3745      You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
   3746      under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
   3747      release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
   3748      the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
   3749      licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
   3750      whoever possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these
   3751      things in the Modified Version:
   3752 
   3753        A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
   3754           distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
   3755           previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
   3756           in the History section of the Document).  You may use the
   3757           same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
   3758           that version gives permission.
   3759 
   3760        B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
   3761           entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
   3762           the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
   3763           principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
   3764           authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
   3765           from this requirement.
   3766 
   3767        C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
   3768           Modified Version, as the publisher.
   3769 
   3770        D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
   3771 
   3772        E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
   3773           adjacent to the other copyright notices.
   3774 
   3775        F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
   3776           notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
   3777           Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
   3778           the Addendum below.
   3779 
   3780        G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
   3781           Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
   3782           license notice.
   3783 
   3784        H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
   3785 
   3786        I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
   3787           and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
   3788           authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
   3789           the Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in
   3790           the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
   3791           and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
   3792           then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
   3793           the previous sentence.
   3794 
   3795        J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
   3796           for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
   3797           likewise the network locations given in the Document for
   3798           previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in
   3799           the "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a
   3800           work that was published at least four years before the
   3801           Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
   3802           it refers to gives permission.
   3803 
   3804        K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
   3805           Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
   3806           section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
   3807           acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
   3808 
   3809        L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
   3810           unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
   3811           or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
   3812           titles.
   3813 
   3814        M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
   3815           may not be included in the Modified Version.
   3816 
   3817        N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
   3818           "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
   3819           Section.
   3820 
   3821        O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
   3822 
   3823      If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
   3824      appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
   3825      material copied from the Document, you may at your option
   3826      designate some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this,
   3827      add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
   3828      Version's license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any
   3829      other section titles.
   3830 
   3831      You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
   3832      nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
   3833      parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
   3834      has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
   3835      definition of a standard.
   3836 
   3837      You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
   3838      and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
   3839      of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one
   3840      passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
   3841      added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the
   3842      Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
   3843      previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
   3844      you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
   3845      replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
   3846      publisher that added the old one.
   3847 
   3848      The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
   3849      License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
   3850      assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
   3851 
   3852   5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
   3853 
   3854      You may combine the Document with other documents released under
   3855      this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
   3856      modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
   3857      all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
   3858      unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
   3859      combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
   3860      their Warranty Disclaimers.
   3861 
   3862      The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
   3863      multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
   3864      copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
   3865      but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
   3866      by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
   3867      original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
   3868      unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
   3869      the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
   3870      combined work.
   3871 
   3872      In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
   3873      "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
   3874      Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
   3875      "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
   3876      must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
   3877 
   3878   6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
   3879 
   3880      You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
   3881      documents released under this License, and replace the individual
   3882      copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
   3883      that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
   3884      rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
   3885      documents in all other respects.
   3886 
   3887      You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
   3888      distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
   3889      a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
   3890      this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
   3891      that document.
   3892 
   3893   7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
   3894 
   3895      A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
   3896      separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
   3897      a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
   3898      copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
   3899      legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
   3900      works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
   3901      License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
   3902      are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
   3903 
   3904      If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
   3905      copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
   3906      of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
   3907      on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
   3908      electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
   3909      form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
   3910      the whole aggregate.
   3911 
   3912   8. TRANSLATION
   3913 
   3914      Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
   3915      distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
   3916      4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
   3917      permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
   3918      translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
   3919      original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
   3920      translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
   3921      Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
   3922      include the original English version of this License and the
   3923      original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
   3924      disagreement between the translation and the original version of
   3925      this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
   3926      prevail.
   3927 
   3928      If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
   3929      "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
   3930      Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
   3931      actual title.
   3932 
   3933   9. TERMINATION
   3934 
   3935      You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
   3936      except as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other
   3937      attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
   3938      void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
   3939      License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
   3940      from you under this License will not have their licenses
   3941      terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
   3942 
   3943  10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
   3944 
   3945      The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
   3946      the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
   3947      versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
   3948      differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
   3949      `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
   3950 
   3951      Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
   3952      number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
   3953      version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
   3954      have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
   3955      that specified version or of any later version that has been
   3956      published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If
   3957      the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
   3958      you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
   3959      Free Software Foundation.
   3960 
   3961 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
   3962 ====================================================
   3963 
   3964 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
   3965 the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
   3966 notices just after the title page:
   3967 
   3968        Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
   3969        Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
   3970        under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
   3971        or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
   3972        with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
   3973        Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
   3974        Free Documentation License''.
   3975 
   3976    If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
   3977 Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
   3978 
   3979          with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
   3980          the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
   3981          being LIST.
   3982 
   3983    If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
   3984 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
   3985 situation.
   3986 
   3987    If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
   3988 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
   3989 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
   3990 permit their use in free software.
