<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html> 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`

      * `libstdc++-v3`

          * `configure.host`

            `abi_baseline_pair` etc. setting.  `config/abi/post/*-linux-gnu`.
            TODO.

          * `config/os/gnu-linux`

            Is used for all GNU systems, as per `configure.host`.  Should
            rename to `gnu-user` to reflect this?  TODO.

      * `gcc/acinclude.m4`:`gcc_GAS_FLAGS`: always pass `--32` to assembler for
        x86 Linux.  (Why?)

      * `lib-prefix.m4` (present twice in GCC sources) contains one remaining
        `linux`-only case.

      * `libjava`

        TODO:

        <gnu_srs> Hi, looks like __GLIBC__ is not defined by default for GNU?

        <braunr> gnu_srs: well, this only tells your the compiler defaults
        <tschwinge> gnu_srs: See the email I just sent.

    [[!message-id "87396od3ej.fsf@schwinge.name"]]

        <braunr> __GLIBC__ would probably be introduced by a glibc header
        <gnu_srs> tschwinge: I saw your email. I wonder if features.h is
          included in the kFreeBSD build of webkit.
        <gnu_srs> It is defined in their build, but not in the Hurd build.
        <pinotree> gcc on kfreebsd unconditionally defines __GLIBC__
        <pinotree> (a bit stupid choice imho, but hardly something that could
          be changed now...)
        <braunr> :/
        <braunr> personally i don't consider this only "a bit" stupid, as
          kfreebsd is one of the various efforts pushing towards portability
        <braunr> and using such hacks actually hinders portability ...
        <pinotree> yeah don't tell me, i can remember at least half dozen of
          occasions when a code wouldn't have been compiling at all on other
          glibc platforms otherwise
        <pinotree> sure, i have nothing against kfreebsd's efforts, but making
          gcc define something which is proper of the libc used is stupid
        <braunr> it is
        <pinotree> i spotted changes like:
        <pinotree> -#ifdef __linux
        <pinotree> +#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__GLIBC__)
        <pinotree> and wondered why they wouldn't work at all for us... and
          then realized there were no #include in that file before that
          preprocessor check
        <tschwinge> This is even in upstream GCC gcc/config/kfreebsd-gnu.h:

        <tschwinge> I might raise this upstream at some point.
        <pinotree> tschwinge: i could guess the change was proposed by the
          kfreebsd people, so asking them before at d-bsd@d.o would be a start
        <tschwinge> pinotree: Ack.
        <pinotree> especially that they would need to fix stuff afterwards
        <pinotree> imho we could propose them the change, and if they agree put
          that as local patch to debian's gcc4.6/.7 after wheezy, so there is
          plenty of time for them to fix stuff

# Build

Here's a log of a GCC build run; this is from our [[Git repository's
2a3496bebfe9d89f11d0b7a591afac55e11d5263 (2013-06-06;
3a930d3fc68785662f5f3f4af02474cb21a62056 (2013-06-06))
sources|source_repositories/gcc]], run on kepler.SCHWINGE and coulomb.SCHWINGE.

    $ export LC_ALL=C
    $ (cd ../master/ && contrib/gcc_update --touch)
    $ ../master/configure --prefix="$PWD".install SHELL=/bin/dash CC=gcc-4.6 CXX=g++-4.6 --enable-languages=all,ada 2>&1 | tee log_build
    [...]
    $ make 2>&1 | tee log_build_
    [...]

Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus
harmonized.

We're stuck with GCC 4.6 until there are Debian *gnat-4.7*/*gnat-4.8* packages
avaible.

This takes up around 3.5 GiB, and needs roughly 3.5 h on kepler.SCHWINGE and
15.25 h on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

    `sed`ed away in `log_build*`.  TODO.

      * `-march=i486 -mtune=i686`

    `sed`ed away in `log_build*`.  This comes from `libgomp/configure.tgt`,
    where this is added to `XCFLAGS` for `i[456]86-*-linux*` only.  TODO?

    [[binutils]] issue?  Should be aligned by Samuel's binutils patch.

  * `./classpath/[...]/*.properties`

    Just different order of files, or another problem?

  * `libjava/gnu/gcj/util/natGCInfo.cc`

         libtool: compile:  [...]/hurd/master.build/./gcc/xgcc [...] -c ../../../master/libjava/gnu/gcj/util/natGCInfo.cc [...]

  * `libgcj.la`

    Just different order of object files, or another problem?

    Is there a pattern that GNU/Hurd hands out the files alphabetically sorted
    where it wouldn't need to ([[!taglink open_issue_hurd]])?

  * `libjvm.la`, `.libs/libjvm.so`, `libgij.la`, `.libs/libgij.so.12.0.0`

    `-Wl,-Bsymbolic` vs. `-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions`

  * `jar`

         make[2]: Entering directory `[...]/hurd/master.build/[ARCH]/libjava'
        -: make ; exec make "AR_FLAGS=rc" [...] "RANLIB=ranlib" "DESTDIR=" "JAR=[...]/hurd/master.build/[ARCH]/libjava/scripts/jar" DO=all multi-do
        +: make ; exec make "AR_FLAGS=rc" [...] "RANLIB=ranlib" "DESTDIR=" "JAR=jar" DO=all multi-do

    Probably because kepler.SCHWINGE has an OpenJDK `/usr/bin/jar`, and
    coulomb.SCHWINGE a GCJ one.

    There are other instances of this in the following.

  * `value-unwind.h`

        -DEFINES='' HEADERS='../../../master/libgcc/config/i386/value-unwind.h' \
        +DEFINES='' HEADERS='' \
                        ../../../master/libgcc/mkheader.sh > tmp-libgcc_tm.h

    Comes from `gcc/config.gcc`: for `i[34567]86-*-linux*`
    vs. `i[34567]86-*-*`, but apparently is important only for *x86_64* anyway.

  * `soft-fp` prototypes

         ../../../master/libgcc/soft-fp/eqtf2.c:34:9: warning: no previous prototype for '__eqtf2' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

  * `libatomic` on GNU/Linux compiles several more files than on GNU/Hurd.  Is
    that correct?  Probably futex support.

  * 2e2db3f92b534460c68c2f9ae64455884424beb6..3336556d2cb32f46322922a83015f760cfb79d8f

    Both GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd:

        -checking assembler for rep and lock prefix... yes
        +checking assembler for rep and lock prefix... no

    TODO.


# Install

    $ make install 2>&1 | tee log_install
    [...]

This takes up around 1.1 GiB, and needs roughly 5 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 37
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.


## Analysis

    $ toolchain/logs/process gcc install

  * `libtool: finish`: `ldconfig` is not run for the Hurd.

    [[libtool]].

  * `libjvm.la`, `.libs/libjvm.so`, `libgij.la`, `.libs/libgij.so.12.0.0`

    `-Wl,-Bsymbolic` vs. `-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions` (as above)

  * `jar`: as above.


# Testsuite

<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html>

Testing on GNU/Hurd is blocked on
[[fork_mach_port_mod_refs_ekern_urefs_owerflow]].

TODO.  On GNU/Hurd, it is advisable to reboot after having built and installed
GCC, before running the testsuite, as otherwise there seems to be a tendency
that the system crashes during the `gcc.c-torture/compile/limits-structnest.c`
tests, which are rather memory hungry, see [[!message-id
"87bol6aixd.fsf@schwinge.name"]].  Likewise, it also seems advisable to add
further reboots in between, that is, separate `make check`'s `check-host` into
several separate runs, and then one for `check-target` (see
`[build]/Makefile:do-check`, `[build]/gcc/Makefile:CHECK_TARGETS`), as
otherwise there seems to be a tendency for the system crashing sooner or later.
(Running `check-host` accumulates to something like 44 hours worth of
forking/execing of GCC and testcases.)  On GNU/Linux we run it in one go, so
that we'll catch any fundamental rearrangements of/additions to the testsuites.

(`gcc/check-fortran`, `gcc/check-java`, `gcc/check-lto`, `gcc/check-objc`) +
10.25 h (`check-intl`, [...], `check-lto-plugin`, `check-target`) = 39.75 h on
coulomb.SCHWINGE.

  * PTYs

    Occasionally tests FAIL due to:

        spawn -open -1 failed, 1 5, The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to create more.

    TODO.

  * Some are correctly UNSUPPORTED:

      * [[IFUNC]]

        Also multiversioning, `g++.dg/ext/mv*`, for example (several of which
        started FAILing (ICE) on kepler.SCHWINGE).

    TODO.  Perhaps just timeouts?  [[!message-id
    "200609052027.NAA09861@hpsje.cup.hp.com"]].  [[!message-id
    "1227217275.6205.6.camel@janis-laptop"]].  If needed, can re-implement in
    GCC DejaGnu's `remote.exp:remote_wait` to get rid of (that is, ignore) its
    `timeout` parameter which, in DejaGnu code, is often invoked with a
    hard-coded value (that we may want to override) (or is that what
    `gcc/testsuite/lib/timeout.exp:standard_wait` is for?).  While at it,
    `libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c++/ctors.exp` and
    `libmudflap/testsuite/libmudflap.c/externs.exp` use hard-coded timeout
    values in `remote_wait` calls (also, why don't these use the usual way of
    running tests?).

  * What is `gcc/testsuite/gcc.test-framework/test-framework.exp` and should we
    define `CHECK_TEST_FRAMEWORK` to run these tests?


## Enhancements


### `contrib/testsuite-management/`, `contrib/regression/`

  * 35a27ee8c4b349fea44fd1fadc9614ab3cc9d578 `Add an xfail manifest for
    x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu to trunk.`

### Distributed Testing


#### IRC, OFTC, #gcc, 2012-05-31

    <dnovillo> jsm28: in your mentor testing, you have the source and build
      tree available for make check?  or it's a pure installed-tree test?
    <jsm28> dnovillo: Source tree, install tree, no build tree.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: so, you run make check on top of the source tree or copy
      the */testsuite trees to a testing area?
    <jsm28> Create a site.exp and do runtest in a temporary directory.  runtest
      is pointed to the source tree to find sources.
    <jsm28> For cross testing for GNU/Linux targets, the temporary directory is
      mounted at the same path on host and target.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: thanks.  i guess i'll have to find the slice of the
      source tree i need to copy.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: for libstdc++ do you write a different site.exp? 
    <dnovillo> i noticed that it generates a different site,exp there.
    <jsm28> The site.exp is mostly the same for all testsuites (so includes
      settings that only some testsuites use).
    <dnovillo> ok, thanks.
    <dnovillo> and when you say "pointed to the source tree" you mean "set
      srcdir /path/to/top/of/gcc" ?
    <dnovillo> (in site.exp)
    <jsm28> The GDB testsuite requires that you run the GDB testsuite's
      configure script in the temporary directory where you will run runtest.
      I don't think any GCC testsuites we use have requirements like that.
    <jsm28> dnovillo: --srcdir option to runtest.
    <dnovillo> ah, yes.
    <jsm28> (and --tool, --target_board etc.)
    <dnovillo> right
    <dnovillo> since i'm distributing the tests. i want each node to only do a
      bunch of files.  this means that i either use 'tool.exp=file-pattern' or
      simply copy the subset of files i want tool.exp to find.
    <dnovillo> i chose the second approach, but that breaks in a handful of
      cases that need files from other sub-directories.
    <dnovillo> like g++.dg gcc.dg using stuff from c-c++-common.
    <dnovillo> for libstdc++, the possibilities for splitting are enormous as
      it has many directories.
    <dnovillo> but i'm not setting it right.  runtest runs without even trying
      to test anything.
    <dnovillo> i'm not having it pick up the right driver.
    <jsm28> Probably all .exp files should be copied to anywhere running
      testsuites, since some read .exp files from other directories.
    <dnovillo> jsm28: that could be it too.  it's irritating that libstdc++
      does not even error out.  runtest just does nothing and returns 0.

##### IRC, OFTC, #gcc, 2012-06-06

    <dnovillo> any libstdc++ maintainer around?
    <dnovillo> or, does anyone know when the testsuite/data files are copied
      into the running testsuite/ dir?
    <dnovillo> seems to be done in advance by make.
