[PATCH 0/6] Fix support for biarch compilers and cross cflags

[PATCH 0/6] Fix support for biarch compilers and cross cflags

[Paolo Bonzini]

This series fixes two bugs with configure's cross compilation detection:

- first, --cross-cflags is not obeyed by pc-bios/ compilation

- second, on a ppc64le machine, the host compiler can be used for ppc64
  tests/tcg; however, this is not being done because $cpu does not
  match the target.  Likewise, on an x86_64 machine the host compiler
  can be used to build both i386 tests/tcg and pc-bios/optionrom, but
  the special casing done by the configure script only covers the latter.

The two are related because, if only the first was fixed, pc-bios/optionrom
would use either the i386 or the x86_64 cflags depending on which cross
compiler was found.  So patches 2-4 tackle not just the cross CFLAGS
problem with pc-bios, but also the biarch compiler problem with i386
and ppc.  Patch 5 then covers the other biarch compilers.

The other two patches are just cleanups.

It was a bit dicey using .code16gcc behind the compiler's back anyway.

[PATCH 2/6] configure, pc-bios/optionrom: pass cross CFLAGS correctly

[Paolo Bonzini]

The optionrom build is disregarding the flags passed to the configure
script via --cross-cflags-i386.  Pass it down and add it to the Makefile.

This also fixes compilation of TCG i386 tests using an x86_64 compiler.

Hmm.  I'm not sure about this.  Given that EXTRA_CFLAGS is going to be e.g. -m32 or empty, 
being immediately overwritten to -m16, I don't quite see the point.

It seems like there should be a third cross-compiler "i386_m16" or something, with a 
different set of cflags at the configure level.  Overkill?

I added it mostly for consistency with the other pc-bios subdirectories, 
and because it can also be overridden with --cross-cflags-i386 though.

Even for the default -m32, however, there would be a reason to have 
$(EXTRA_FLAGS) in there.  I have played with removing the direct use of 
"ld -m" in the build of pc-bios/optionrom, and stumbled on a weird GCC 
configuration issue.  The problem is that some hosts pick the right 
linker emulation when given -m16, but others don't:

$ gcc -dumpspecs
...
*link:
... %{m16|m32|mx32:;:-m elf_x86_64}  %{m16|m32:-m elf_i386}

# x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
...
*link:
%{!m32:-m i386pep} %{m32:-m i386pe} ...

The error is in GCC's gcc/config/i386/mingw-w64.h, which provides a 
MULTILIB_DEFAULTS #define but does not rely on it:

#undef SPEC_32
#undef SPEC_64
#if TARGET_64BIT_DEFAULT
#define SPEC_32 "m32"           // should be m16|m32
#define SPEC_64 "!m32"          // should be m64
#else
#define SPEC_32 "!m64"          // should be m16|m32
#define SPEC_64 "m64"
#endif

So you need -m32 -m16 on 64-bit hosts!  For the "working" specs the -m16 
would override -m32, while on the broken ones -m32 is for the linker and 
-m16 is for the compiler.

[PATCH 3/6] configure, pc-bios/s390-ccw: pass cross CFLAGS correctly

[Paolo Bonzini]

QEMU_CFLAGS is not available in pc-bios/s390-ccw/netboot.mak, but the Makefile
needs to access the flags passed to the configure script for the s390x

[PATCH 4/6] configure, pc-bios/vof: pass cross CFLAGS correctly

[Paolo Bonzini]

Use the flags passed to the configure script for the ppc cross compiler,
which in fact default to those that are needed to get the 32-bit ISA.
Add the endianness flag so that it remains possible to use a ppc64le
compiler to compile VOF.

This also fixes compilation of TCG tests using a biarch compiler,
for example ppc64 tests on ppc64le.

Probably you missed this, but last night (gmt-7) I sent:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rth/qemu/bld/pc-bios/vof'

cc -m32 -mbig-endian -mcpu=power4 -c -o entry.o /home/rth/qemu/src/pc-bios/vof/entry.S

cc1: error: ‘-m32’ not supported in this configuration

make[1]: *** [entry.o] Error 1


This with a compiler I built myself,

$ cc -v

Using built-in specs.

With default configure options, gcc is not biarch.
It would be good to probe whether EXTRA_CFLAGS is actually usable.

[PATCH 5/6] configure: allow more host/target combos to use the host compiler

[Paolo Bonzini]

Add more pairs of bi-arch compilers, so that it is not necessary to have
e.g. both little-endian and big-endian ARM compilers.

[PATCH 6/6] configure: write EXTRA_CFLAGS for all sub-Makefiles

[Paolo Bonzini]

Move the EXTRA_CFLAGS line from the individual subdirectory blocks to
the common write_target_makefile and write_container_target_makefile
shell functions.

Re: [PATCH 0/6] Fix support for biarch compilers and cross cflags

That may be true for the compiler, but the complete toolchain is usually 
single endian. For instance, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and FreeBSD lack 
libc and crt*.o for the foreign endianness. So we'd be able to build 
ppc64-softmmu tests (which are not upstream yet) but not 
ppc64-linux-user in ppc64le hosts.
