    406  1.11  mrg <p>The HP assembler should not be used with GCC.  It is rarely tested and may
    407  1.11  mrg not work.  It shouldn&rsquo;t be used with any languages other than C due to its

    409  1.11  mrg </p>
    410  1.11  mrg <p>Specifically, <samp>-g</samp> does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging
    411   1.1  mrg format which GCC does not know about).  It also inserts timestamps

    415  1.11  mrg </p>
    416  1.11  mrg <p>Various GCC features are not supported.  For example, it does not support weak
    417   1.1  mrg symbols or alias definitions.  As a result, explicit template instantiations
    418   1.1  mrg are required when using C++.  This makes it difficult if not impossible to
    419   1.1  mrg build many C++ applications.
    420  1.11  mrg </p>
    421  1.11  mrg <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions.  These are
    422   1.1  mrg PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000.  They are selected from the pa-risc
    423  1.11  mrg architecture specified for the target machine when configuring.
    424   1.1  mrg PROCESSOR_8000 is the default.  PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when
    425  1.11  mrg the target is a &lsquo;<samp>hppa1*</samp>&rsquo; machine.
    426  1.11  mrg </p>
    427  1.11  mrg <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors.  Thus,
    428   1.1  mrg it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when
    429   1.1  mrg configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000.  The macro
    430   1.1  mrg TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different
    431   1.1  mrg default scheduling model is desired.
    432  1.11  mrg </p>
    433  1.11  mrg <p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10

    435   1.1  mrg This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with

    439  1.11  mrg or &lsquo;<samp>98</samp>&rsquo;.  Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines

    467   1.1  mrg only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime.
    468  1.11  mrg </p>
    469  1.11  mrg <p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap.  The
    470  1.11  mrg bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP&rsquo;s
    471   1.1  mrg unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC.
    472  1.11  mrg </p>
    473  1.11  mrg <p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler,
    474   1.1  mrg but the process requires several steps.  GCC 3.3 can then be used to
    475  1.10  mrg build later versions.
    476  1.11  mrg </p>
    477  1.11  mrg <p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
    478   1.1  mrg Binutils can be built first using the HP tools.  Then, the GCC
    479   1.1  mrg distribution can be built.  The second approach is to build GCC
    480  1.11  mrg first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.
    481   1.1  mrg There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it
    482   1.1  mrg is best not to start from a binary distribution.
    483  1.11  mrg </p>
    484  1.11  mrg <p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets.  Different
    485   1.1  mrg installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on
    486  1.11  mrg the same system.  The &lsquo;<samp>hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; target generates code
    487  1.11  mrg for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker.
    488  1.11  mrg The &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; target generates 64-bit code for the
    489   1.1  mrg PA-RISC 2.0 architecture.
    490  1.11  mrg </p>
    491  1.11  mrg <p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler
    492  1.11  mrg detected during configuration.  You must define <code>PATH</code> or <code>CC</code> so
    493  1.11  mrg that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap.
    494  1.11  mrg When <code>CC</code> is used, the definition should contain the options that are
    495  1.11  mrg needed whenever <code>CC</code> is used.
    496  1.11  mrg </p>
    497  1.11  mrg <p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be
    498  1.11  mrg in <code>CC</code> to correctly select the target for the build.  It is also
    499  1.11  mrg convenient to place many other compiler options in <code>CC</code>.  For example,
    500  1.11  mrg <code>CC=&quot;cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE&quot;</code>
    501   1.1  mrg can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in
    502  1.11  mrg 64-bit K&amp;R/bundled mode.  The <samp>+DA2.0W</samp> option will result in
    503  1.11  mrg the automatic selection of the &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; target.  The
    504   1.1  mrg macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful
    505   1.1  mrg build with the HP compiler.  _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to
    506   1.1  mrg be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the
    507  1.11  mrg <samp>-Ac</samp> option.  These defines aren&rsquo;t necessary with <samp>-Ae</samp>.
    508  1.11  mrg </p>
    509  1.11  mrg <p>It is best to explicitly configure the &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; target
    510  1.11  mrg with the <samp>--with-ld=&hellip;</samp> option.  This overrides the standard
    511   1.1  mrg search for ld.  The two linkers supported on this target require different
    512   1.1  mrg commands.  The default linker is determined during configuration.  As a
    513  1.11  mrg result, it&rsquo;s not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build.
    514   1.1  mrg This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils
    515   1.1  mrg and GCC.
    516  1.11  mrg </p>
    517  1.11  mrg <p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of

    526   1.1  mrg 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers.  Weak
    527   1.1  mrg symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols.  Prior
    528  1.11  mrg to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols.
    529   1.1  mrg The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared

    534   1.1  mrg run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port.  The 32-bit port
    535  1.11  mrg uses the linker <samp>+init</samp> and <samp>+fini</samp> options for the same
    536   1.1  mrg purpose.  The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini
    537   1.1  mrg options, including program core dumps.  Binutils 2.14 corrects a
    538  1.11  mrg problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP&rsquo;s non-standard use of

    550  1.11  mrg It also doesn&rsquo;t provide stubs for internal calls to global functions

    880   1.1  mrg happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not

    887  1.11  mrg <p>The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II
    888   1.1  mrg and later.  A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to

    890  1.11  mrg configure for &lsquo;<samp>mipsel-elf</samp>&rsquo; as a workaround.  The
    891  1.11  mrg &lsquo;<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>&rsquo; target continues to use the MIPS II routines.  More

    897  1.11  mrg &lsquo;<samp>sync</samp>&rsquo; instructions.  This can be overridden by passing
    898  1.11  mrg <samp>--with-llsc</samp> or <samp>--without-llsc</samp> when configuring GCC.
    899   1.1  mrg Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are
    900  1.11  mrg missing, the default for &lsquo;<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>&rsquo; targets is
    901  1.11  mrg <samp>--with-llsc</samp>.  The <samp>--with-llsc</samp> and
    902  1.11  mrg <samp>--without-llsc</samp> configure options may be overridden at compile
    903  1.11  mrg time by passing the <samp>-mllsc</samp> or <samp>-mno-llsc</samp> options to
    904   1.1  mrg the compiler.

    906  1.11  mrg <p>MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless
    907  1.11  mrg <samp>-mno-check-zero-division</samp> is passed to the compiler) by
    908   1.1  mrg generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction.  Using
    909   1.1  mrg trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and
    910   1.1  mrg later.  Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that
    911   1.1  mrg prevents trap from generating the proper signal (<code>SIGFPE</code>).  To enable
    912  1.11  mrg the use of break, use the <samp>--with-divide=breaks</samp>
    913  1.11  mrg <code>configure</code> option when configuring GCC.  The default is to

   1106  1.11  mrg <p>Solaris 10 comes with a number of optional OS packages.  Some of these
   1107   1.1  mrg are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>,
   1108   1.1  mrg <code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>,
   1109   1.1  mrg <code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>.  If you did not install all
   1110   1.7  mrg optional packages when installing Solaris 10, you will need to verify that
   1111  1.11  mrg the packages that GCC needs are installed.
   1112   1.7  mrg To check whether an optional package is installed, use
   1113  1.11  mrg the <code>pkginfo</code> command.  To add an optional package, use the
   1114  1.11  mrg <code>pkgadd</code> command.  For further details, see the Solaris 10
   1115   1.1  mrg documentation.
   1116  1.11  mrg </p>
   1117  1.11  mrg <p>Starting with Solaris 11, the package management has changed, so you
   1118   1.7  mrg need to check for <code>system/header</code>, <code>system/linker</code>, and
   1119   1.7  mrg <code>developer/assembler</code> packages.  Checking for and installing
   1120  1.11  mrg packages is done with the <code>pkg</code> command now.
   1121  1.11  mrg </p>
   1122  1.11  mrg <p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in
   1123  1.11  mrg <samp>/usr/ucb</samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
   1124   1.1  mrg For example, the linker may hang indefinitely.  The fix is to remove
   1125  1.11  mrg <samp>/usr/ucb</samp> from your <code>PATH</code>.
   1126  1.11  mrg </p>
   1127  1.11  mrg <p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you
   1128  1.11  mrg have <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> in your <code>PATH</code>, we recommend that you place
   1129  1.11  mrg <samp>/usr/bin</samp> before <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> for the duration of the build.
   1130  1.11  mrg </p>
   1131  1.11  mrg <p>We recommend the use of the Solaris assembler or the GNU assembler, in
   1132  1.11  mrg conjunction with the Solaris linker.  The GNU <code>as</code>
   1133   1.7  mrg versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils 2.15 (in
   1134  1.11  mrg <samp>/usr/sfw/bin/gas</samp>), and Solaris 11,
   1135  1.11  mrg from GNU binutils 2.19 or newer (also in <samp>/usr/bin/gas</samp> and
   1136  1.11  mrg <samp>/usr/gnu/bin/as</samp>), are known to work.
   1137  1.11  mrg The current version, from GNU binutils 2.29,
   1138  1.11  mrg is known to work as well.  Note that your mileage may vary
   1139   1.7  mrg if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Solaris tools: while the
   1140  1.11  mrg combination GNU <code>as</code> + Sun <code>ld</code> should reasonably work,
   1141  1.11  mrg the reverse combination Sun <code>as</code> + GNU <code>ld</code> may fail to
   1142  1.11  mrg build or cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs.
   1143  1.11  mrg GNU <code>ld</code> usually works as well, although the version included in
   1144   1.1  mrg Solaris 10 cannot be used due to several bugs.  Again, the current
   1145  1.11  mrg version (2.29) is known to work, but generally lacks platform specific
   1146  1.11  mrg features, so better stay with Solaris <code>ld</code>.  To use the LTO linker
   1147  1.11  mrg plugin (<samp>-fuse-linker-plugin</samp>) with GNU <code>ld</code>, GNU
   1148  1.11  mrg binutils <em>must</em> be configured with <samp>--enable-largefile</samp>.
   1149  1.11  mrg </p>
   1150  1.11  mrg <p>To enable symbol versioning in &lsquo;<samp>libstdc++</samp>&rsquo; with the Solaris linker,
   1151  1.11  mrg you need to have any version of GNU <code>c++filt</code>, which is part of
   1152  1.11  mrg GNU binutils.  &lsquo;<samp>libstdc++</samp>&rsquo; symbol versioning will be disabled if no
   1153  1.11  mrg appropriate version is found.  Solaris <code>c++filt</code> from the Solaris
   1154   1.7  mrg Studio compilers does <em>not</em> work.
   1155  1.11  mrg </p>
   1156  1.11  mrg <p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures
   1157  1.11  mrg related to missing diagnostic output.  This bug doesn&rsquo;t affect GCC
   1158  1.11  mrg itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <code>expect</code>
   1159   1.1  mrg program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver.  When the bug
   1160  1.11  mrg causes the <code>expect</code> program to miss anticipated output, extra
   1161   1.1  mrg testsuite failures appear.

   1179   1.1  mrg <p>When GCC is configured to use GNU binutils 2.14 or later, the binaries

   1183  1.11  mrg </p>
   1184  1.11  mrg <p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing

   1186  1.11  mrg this; the <samp>-m64</samp> option enables 64-bit code generation.
   1187   1.1  mrg However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you
   1188  1.11  mrg should try the <samp>-mtune=ultrasparc</samp> option instead, which produces
   1189   1.1  mrg code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC
