[parisc-linux] HPPA NPTL Support committed to libc-ports, help needed!

[Carlos O'Donell]

parisc-linux,

I've committed a first cut NPTL port for hppa to libc-ports.
Please help build and test the port!

You will need:
binutils head cvs newer than 2006-05-24.
gcc cvs head newer than 2005-07-05 with TLS turned on.
libc-ports cvs head newer than 2006-07-14
glibc cvs head to match libc-ports.

I don't have a recipe for building this yet, but it should be coming next.
If someone wants to adapt the following file, that would be great:
http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/build-tools/build-tls-tools?rev=1.7&view=markup

In essence:
- Build binutils
- Install binutils
- Build gcc with tls on, and using previous binutils (i.e. set your PATH)
- Install gcc locally.
- Build glibc with --enable-addons=ports,nptl (Set your PATH to new
gcc/binutils)
- Run make, make -k check.

Start looking at failures :)

Cheers,
Carlos.

I have check to <http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=hppa&pkg=gcc-4.1>

and afaik debian gcc-4.1 release >= 4.1.1-6 should be ok
(iirc no gcc configure option to build it with tls support but a check if used binutils supports it)

[snip]
bzip2: missing
binutils: already installed (2.17-1 >= 2.16.1cvs20051214 is satisfied)
binutils-hppa64: missing
[snip]

(still need to check if this pb:
<http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-May/029185.html>
is not any more in 4.1.1, i will advise?)

FWIW, I'm seeing the following FAILs with gcc head built with binutils 
head (from yesterday)

glibc built and running make check now..
