Apart from the target-specific configuration machinery, there shouldn't be any major differences within GCC between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for example. Especially all the compiler magic is all the same. [[!toc levels=2]] # [[General information|/gcc]] # [[Sources|source_repositories/gcc]] ## Boehm GC GCC includes an own variant of [[/Boehm_GC]] that is based on an upstream version, but with own patches, etc. This is used for Java. (There are patches (apparently not committed) that GCC itself can use it, too: .) Patches to GCC's fork should be contributed back to upstream [[/Boehm_GC]]. [[tschwinge]] reviewed (but only briefly for large parts) the differences on 2010-12-08, based on the [[GCC Git mirror's 8e79e9d43f32c8852f068da91d655297d92ac0f4 (2010-11-29) sources|source_repositories/GCC]] and Boehm GC's CVS HEAD sources from 2010-12-02, converted to [[Git, correspondingly 1c2455988a8f59a5f83b986b9156f03be395b3b6|source_repositories/boehm_gc]]. On 2010-11-17, [[tschwinge]] reviewed the Debian GCC Boehm GC changes, compared them to the upstream code, and put it into the local *hurd/boehm-gc/config_backport* branch, planning to submit it to gcc-patches after testing with the GCC testsuite. # Configuration Last reviewed up to the [[Git mirror's 3457702eb6f8ee22acaee881dc7f783c3aa2fa91 (2010-12-08) sources|source_repositories/gcc]]. has documentation for the `configure` switches. * Configure fragments that have `*linux*` cases might/should often contain those for us (and GNU/k*BSD) as well. * `configure.ac` * `libgcc/configure.ac` [might need](http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-10/msg00315.html) to be aligned for us to the `*linux*` cases.
