building egcs under LinuxPPC pre-R5

building egcs under LinuxPPC pre-R5

[Andreas Tobler]

Hello,

since the beginning of February I try to build egcs snapshot 19990131
and now 19990208. The succcess is small. I got the 19990131 snapshot to
build and install, but when I compile c++ code with some include
restrictions it seems that it overrides it which causes an error. The
egcs I used before and now again, was 2.91.60 I think, for LinuxPPC
folks egcs-1.1.1.1c. With this compiler I haven't had this error.
My question, is there something specific when building an egcs on
LinuxPPC that I have to take care of? It's not necessary for me to take
a snapshot, but I need to build an egcs & libstdc++ with the option
-fno-vtable-thunks.

my config: 	LinuxPPC pre-R5 with glibc-2.0.108
		Kernel 2.2.0 self built
		running compiler egcs-1.1.1.1c
How I did egcs:	./configure --enable-shared --enable-threads
--prefix=/usr/local/egcs
		make LANGUAGES="c c++"
		make LANGUAGES="c c++" install
Any hints?
Thanks

Andreas

The latest snapshots are very unstable on Linux/PPC.  We are working on
this now, but I'd stay away from them until further notice.

The version of EGCS-1.1.1c that I uploaded should have been compiled this
way.  What makes you think it was not?

Thanks, good to know. I tried lots of hours to get them compile and build on a
'slow' 7200.

I try to build JX under pre-R5. As far as now I got it to build, but when I
play around with the menu options I get a core dump. 
As pointed out by John Lindal, one of the JX guys, this situation happens when
the vtable-thunks are enabled.
So I decided to try it by myself.
(I have to re-verify my system what libstdc++ and so on, but my rpms are from
4.1.99 as I remember)

Thanks
Andreas
