6.4. GCC-4.1.1

The following patch fixes the searching of multilib dirs for specs file. The patch standardizes the gcc drivers path iteration functions, ensuring multilib directories are searched in the correct order. This fixes various issues, most noticably with libtool on multilib systems:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.1.1-PR20425-1.patch

The following patch fixes a TLS build issue. For more details go to http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-02/msg00177.html:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.1.1-sparc_tls-1.patch

Make a couple of essential adjustments to the specs file to ensure GCC uses our build environment:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.1.1-specs-1.patch

To make sure that a couple of tools use the proper syntax, apply the following patch:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.1.1-posix-1.patch

The following patch ensures that gcc does not search the /usr directory for libgcc_s.so when cross-compiling:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.1.1-cross_search_paths-1.patch

Now we will change cpp's search path not to look in /usr/include:

cp -v gcc/cppdefault.c{,.orig}
sed -e '/#define STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR/s@"/usr/include"@0@g' \
    gcc/cppdefault.c.orig > gcc/cppdefault.c

Also, we need to set the directory searched by the fixincludes process for system headers, so it won't look at the host's headers:

cp -v gcc/Makefile.in{,.orig}
sed -e 's@\(^NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR =\).*@\1 /tools/include@g' \
    gcc/Makefile.in.orig > gcc/Makefile.in

The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory:

mkdir -v ../gcc-build
cd ../gcc-build

Before starting to build GCC, remember to unset any environment variables that override the default optimization flags.

Prepare GCC for compilation:

../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/tools \
    --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} --target=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --with-local-prefix=/tools --enable-long-long --enable-c99 \
    --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit \
    --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libstdcxx-pch

Compile the package:

make AS_FOR_TARGET="${AS}" \
    LD_FOR_TARGET="${LD}"

Install the package:

make install

Many packages use the name cc to call the C compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink:

ln -sv gcc /tools/bin/cc
