[Linux-ia64] gcc and glibc: big troubles

[Francis Galiegue <fg@mandrakesoft.com>]

I'm trying to upgrade my glibc and compiler to 001024 snapshot + RCS patches up
to 037 (for gcc) and glibc 2.2 plus patches (not CVS), but it fails on the
whole... Compiler used is 001024 snapshot but with backward compatibility ABI
patch applied.

First, glibc. I obtain this error:

-----

Does CVS glibc cure this? If yes I guess I'll upgrade to the latest toolchain
snapshot too...

Now, trying to recompile the 001024 toolchain, but *without* the ABI patch, I
get the following:

-----

Culprit line:

-----
  if (insn_unit = IA64_UNIT_F)
    {
      for (i = 0; i < idesc->num_outputs; i++)
    if (idesc->operands[i] = IA64_OPND_P1
        || idesc->operands[i] = IA64_OPND_P2)
      {
        int regno = slot->opnd[i].X_add_number - REG_P;
        if (regno > 16)
          abort ();		<----- This one
        this_group->p_reg_set[regno] = 1;
      }
    }

One thing I don't get is: why all this in the toolchain? Why make, why bison,
why tk, why tcl? Whats more there's no README at all on how to *avoid* having
them compiled. I tried --without-x, --disable-x but to no avail... Stock bison
for example works perfectly fine here, so does make. Any solution?
