365 1.1 mrg <p>Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. Support for
366 1.1 mrg FreeBSD 2 (and any mutant a.out variants of FreeBSD 3) was
367 1.1 mrg discontinued in GCC 4.0.
368 1.8 mrg </p>
369 1.8 mrg <p>In order to better utilize FreeBSD base system functionality and match
370 1.3 mrg the configuration of the system compiler, GCC 4.5 and above as well as
371 1.3 mrg GCC 4.4 past 2010-06-20 leverage SSP support in libc (which is present
372 1.3 mrg on FreeBSD 7 or later) and the use of <code>__cxa_atexit</code> by default
373 1.3 mrg (on FreeBSD 6 or later). The use of <code>dl_iterate_phdr</code> inside

376 1.8 mrg </p>
377 1.8 mrg <p>We support FreeBSD using the ELF file format with DWARF 2 debugging
378 1.8 mrg for all CPU architectures. You may use <samp>-gstabs</samp> instead of
379 1.8 mrg <samp>-g</samp>, if you really want the old debugging format. There are
380 1.1 mrg no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different
381 1.1 mrg debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match
382 1.1 mrg more of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of
383 1.8 mrg GCC. In particular, <samp>--enable-threads</samp> is now configured by
384 1.1 mrg default. However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the
385 1.1 mrg system compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with

419 1.1 mrg <p>Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
420 1.8 mrg </p>
421 1.8 mrg <p>We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or
422 1.1 mrg later is recommended.
423 1.8 mrg </p>
424 1.8 mrg <p>It may be helpful to configure GCC with the
425 1.8 mrg <a href="./configure.html#with-gnu-as"><samp>--with-gnu-as</samp></a> and
426 1.8 mrg <samp>--with-as=…</samp> options to ensure that GCC can find GAS.
427 1.8 mrg </p>
428 1.8 mrg <p>The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and may
429 1.8 mrg not work. It shouldn’t be used with any languages other than C due to its
430 1.1 mrg many limitations.
431 1.8 mrg </p>
432 1.8 mrg <p>Specifically, <samp>-g</samp> does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging
433 1.1 mrg format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps
434 1.1 mrg into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to
435 1.1 mrg fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying
436 1.8 mrg ‘<samp>make all-host all-target</samp>’ after getting the failure from ‘<samp>make</samp>’.
437 1.8 mrg </p>
438 1.8 mrg <p>Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak
439 1.1 mrg symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations
440 1.1 mrg are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to
441 1.1 mrg build many C++ applications.
442 1.8 mrg </p>
443 1.8 mrg <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are
444 1.1 mrg PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc
445 1.8 mrg architecture specified for the target machine when configuring.
446 1.1 mrg PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when
447 1.8 mrg the target is a ‘<samp>hppa1*</samp>’ machine.
448 1.8 mrg </p>
449 1.8 mrg <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus,
450 1.1 mrg it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when
451 1.1 mrg configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro
452 1.1 mrg TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different
453 1.1 mrg default scheduling model is desired.
454 1.8 mrg </p>
455 1.8 mrg <p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10
456 1.8 mrg through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later.
457 1.1 mrg This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with
458 1.1 mrg an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same
459 1.1 mrg namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided
460 1.8 mrg in a number of ways. With HP cc, <code>UNIX_STD</code> can be set to ‘<samp>95</samp>’
461 1.8 mrg or ‘<samp>98</samp>’. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines
462 1.8 mrg to <code>CC</code>. The description for the <samp>munix=</samp> option contains
463 1.1 mrg a list of the predefines used with each standard.

482 1.1 mrg be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up.
483 1.8 mrg </p>
484 1.8 mrg <p>The libffi and libjava libraries haven’t been ported to 64-bit HP-UX and don’t build.
485 1.8 mrg </p>
486 1.8 mrg <p>Refer to <a href="binaries.html">binaries</a> for information about obtaining
487 1.1 mrg precompiled GCC binaries for HP-UX. Precompiled binaries must be obtained
488 1.8 mrg to build the Ada language as it can’t be bootstrapped using C. Ada is
489 1.1 mrg only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime.
490 1.8 mrg </p>
491 1.8 mrg <p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The
492 1.8 mrg bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP’s
493 1.1 mrg unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC.
494 1.8 mrg </p>
495 1.8 mrg <p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler,
496 1.1 mrg but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to
497 1.1 mrg build later versions. The fastjar program contains ISO C code and
498 1.8 mrg can’t be built with the HP bundled compiler. This problem can be
499 1.1 mrg avoided by not building the Java language. For example, use the
500 1.8 mrg <samp>--enable-languages="c,c++,f77,objc"</samp> option in your configure
501 1.1 mrg command.
502 1.8 mrg </p>
503 1.8 mrg <p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
504 1.1 mrg Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC
505 1.1 mrg distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC
506 1.8 mrg first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.
507 1.1 mrg There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it
508 1.1 mrg is best not to start from a binary distribution.
509 1.8 mrg </p>
510 1.8 mrg <p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different
511 1.1 mrg installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on
512 1.8 mrg the same system. The ‘<samp>hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target generates code
513 1.8 mrg for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker.
514 1.8 mrg The ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target generates 64-bit code for the
515 1.1 mrg PA-RISC 2.0 architecture.
516 1.8 mrg </p>
517 1.8 mrg <p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler
518 1.8 mrg detected during configuration. You must define <code>PATH</code> or <code>CC</code> so
519 1.8 mrg that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap.
520 1.8 mrg When <code>CC</code> is used, the definition should contain the options that are
521 1.8 mrg needed whenever <code>CC</code> is used.
522 1.8 mrg </p>
523 1.8 mrg <p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be
524 1.8 mrg in <code>CC</code> to correctly select the target for the build. It is also
525 1.8 mrg convenient to place many other compiler options in <code>CC</code>. For example,
526 1.8 mrg <code>CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"</code>
527 1.1 mrg can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in
528 1.8 mrg 64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The <samp>+DA2.0W</samp> option will result in
529 1.8 mrg the automatic selection of the ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target. The
530 1.1 mrg macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful
531 1.1 mrg build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to
532 1.1 mrg be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the
533 1.8 mrg <samp>-Ac</samp> option. These defines aren’t necessary with <samp>-Ae</samp>.
534 1.8 mrg </p>
535 1.8 mrg <p>It is best to explicitly configure the ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target
536 1.8 mrg with the <samp>--with-ld=…</samp> option. This overrides the standard
537 1.1 mrg search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different
538 1.1 mrg commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a
539 1.8 mrg result, it’s not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build.
540 1.1 mrg This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils
541 1.1 mrg and GCC.
542 1.8 mrg </p>
543 1.8 mrg <p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of
544 1.1 mrg GCC 3.3 and later. <code>PHSS_26559</code> and <code>PHSS_24304</code> are the
545 1.1 mrg oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX
546 1.1 mrg 11.00 and 11.11, respectively. <code>PHSS_24303</code>, the companion to
547 1.8 mrg <code>PHSS_24304</code>, might be usable but it hasn’t been tested. These
548 1.1 mrg patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain
549 1.1 mrg the currently recommended linker patch for your system.
550 1.8 mrg </p>
551 1.8 mrg <p>The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the
552 1.1 mrg 32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak
553 1.1 mrg symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior
554 1.8 mrg to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols.
555 1.1 mrg The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared
556 1.1 mrg libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other
557 1.1 mrg linking issues involving secondary symbols.
558 1.8 mrg </p>
559 1.8 mrg <p>GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to
560 1.1 mrg run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port
561 1.8 mrg uses the linker <samp>+init</samp> and <samp>+fini</samp> options for the same
562 1.1 mrg purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini
563 1.1 mrg options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a
564 1.8 mrg problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP’s non-standard use of
565 1.1 mrg the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers.
566 1.8 mrg </p>
567 1.8 mrg <p>Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the
568 1.8 mrg ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target, it is strongly recommended that the
569 1.1 mrg HP linker be used for link editing on this target.
570 1.8 mrg </p>
571 1.8 mrg <p>At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long
572 1.8 mrg branch stubs. As a result, it can’t successfully link binaries
573 1.1 mrg containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition,
574 1.1 mrg there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables
575 1.8 mrg with <samp>-static</samp>, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support.
576 1.8 mrg It also doesn’t provide stubs for internal calls to global functions
577 1.8 mrg in shared libraries, so these calls can’t be overloaded.
578 1.8 mrg </p>
579 1.8 mrg <p>The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol
580 1.1 mrg versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol
581 1.8 mrg versioning with <samp>--disable-symvers</samp> when using GNU ld.
582 1.8 mrg </p>
583 1.8 mrg <p>POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not
584 1.8 mrg supported, so <samp>--enable-threads=dce</samp> does not work.

611 1.8 mrg <p>It is recommended that you configure GCC to use the GNU assembler. The
612 1.7 mrg versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils 2.15 (in

614 1.8 mrg newer (also available as <samp>/usr/bin/gas</samp> and
615 1.8 mrg <samp>/usr/gnu/bin/as</samp>), work fine. Please note that the current
616 1.7 mrg version, from GNU binutils 2.26, only works on Solaris 12 when using the
617 1.7 mrg Solaris linker. On Solaris 10 and 11, you either have to wait for GNU
618 1.7 mrg binutils 2.26.1 or newer, or stay with GNU binutils 2.25.1. Recent
619 1.8 mrg versions of the Solaris assembler in <samp>/usr/ccs/bin/as</samp> work almost
620 1.8 mrg as well, though.
621 1.8 mrg </p>
622 1.8 mrg <p>For linking, the Solaris linker, is preferred. If you want to use the GNU

624 1.8 mrg 10, from GNU binutils 2.15 (in <samp>/usr/sfw/bin/gld</samp>), cannot be used,
625 1.7 mrg while the version in Solaris 11, from GNU binutils 2.19 or newer (also
626 1.8 mrg in <samp>/usr/gnu/bin/ld</samp> and <samp>/usr/bin/gld</samp>), works, as does the

680 1.8 mrg </p>
681 1.8 mrg <p>GCC can bootstrap with recent versions of IBM XLC, but bootstrapping
682 1.1 mrg with an earlier release of GCC is recommended. Bootstrapping with XLC
683 1.1 mrg requires a larger data segment, which can be enabled through the

707 1.8 mrg <p>Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default,
708 1.1 mrg (although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries
709 1.1 mrg required by gfortran must be 32-bit libraries. Building GMP and MPFR
710 1.1 mrg as static archive libraries works better than shared libraries.
711 1.8 mrg </p>
712 1.8 mrg <p>Errors involving <code>alloca</code> when building GCC generally are due
713 1.1 mrg to an incorrect definition of <code>CC</code> in the Makefile or mixing files
714 1.1 mrg compiled with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of
715 1.8 mrg the build, the native AIX compiler <strong>must</strong> be invoked as <code>cc</code>
716 1.8 mrg (not <code>xlc</code>). Once <code>configure</code> has been informed of
717 1.8 mrg <code>xlc</code>, one needs to use ‘<samp>make distclean</samp>’ to remove the
718 1.8 mrg configure cache files and ensure that <code>CC</code> environment variable
719 1.8 mrg does not provide a definition that will confuse <code>configure</code>.
720 1.1 mrg If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely
721 1.1 mrg is the version of Make (see above).
722 1.8 mrg </p>
723 1.8 mrg <p>The native <code>as</code> and <code>ld</code> are recommended for
724 1.3 mrg bootstrapping on AIX. The GNU Assembler, GNU Linker, and GNU
725 1.3 mrg Binutils version 2.20 is the minimum level that supports bootstrap on
726 1.8 mrg AIX 5. The GNU Assembler has not been updated to support AIX 6 or
727 1.3 mrg AIX 7. The native AIX tools do interoperate with GCC.
728 1.8 mrg </p>
729 1.8 mrg <p>AIX 7.1 added partial support for DWARF debugging, but full support
730 1.7 mrg requires AIX 7.1 TL03 SP7 that supports additional DWARF sections and
731 1.7 mrg fixes a bug in the assembler. AIX 7.1 TL03 SP5 distributed a version

912 1.1 mrg <p>If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying “does not have gp
913 1.8 mrg sections for all it’s [sic] sectons [sic]”, don’t worry about it. This
914 1.1 mrg happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not
915 1.1 mrg really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can
916 1.1 mrg stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker.
917 1.8 mrg </p>
918 1.8 mrg <p>It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are
919 1.1 mrg optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence.
920 1.8 mrg </p>
921 1.8 mrg <p>The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II
922 1.1 mrg and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to
923 1.8 mrg make ‘<samp>mips*-*-*</samp>’ use the generic implementation instead. You can also
924 1.8 mrg configure for ‘<samp>mipsel-elf</samp>’ as a workaround. The
925 1.8 mrg ‘<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>’ target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More
926 1.1 mrg work on this is expected in future releases.
927 1.8 mrg </p>
928 1.1 mrg
929 1.8 mrg <p>The built-in <code>__sync_*</code> functions are available on MIPS II and
930 1.8 mrg later systems and others that support the ‘<samp>ll</samp>’, ‘<samp>sc</samp>’ and
931 1.8 mrg ‘<samp>sync</samp>’ instructions. This can be overridden by passing
932 1.8 mrg <samp>--with-llsc</samp> or <samp>--without-llsc</samp> when configuring GCC.
933 1.1 mrg Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are
934 1.8 mrg missing, the default for ‘<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>’ targets is
935 1.8 mrg <samp>--with-llsc</samp>. The <samp>--with-llsc</samp> and
936 1.8 mrg <samp>--without-llsc</samp> configure options may be overridden at compile
937 1.8 mrg time by passing the <samp>-mllsc</samp> or <samp>-mno-llsc</samp> options to
938 1.1 mrg the compiler.
939 1.8 mrg </p>
940 1.8 mrg <p>MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless
941 1.8 mrg <samp>-mno-check-zero-division</samp> is passed to the compiler) by
942 1.1 mrg generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using
943 1.1 mrg trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and
944 1.1 mrg later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that
945 1.1 mrg prevents trap from generating the proper signal (<code>SIGFPE</code>). To enable
946 1.8 mrg the use of break, use the <samp>--with-divide=breaks</samp>
947 1.8 mrg <code>configure</code> option when configuring GCC. The default is to
948 1.1 mrg use traps on systems that support them.
949 1.8 mrg </p>
950 1.8 mrg <p>The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way
951 1.1 mrg it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause
952 1.1 mrg bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker
953 1.1 mrg from GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the
954 1.8 mrg runtime linker stubs in very large programs, like <samp>libgcj.so</samp>, to
955 1.1 mrg be incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots
956 1.1 mrg made after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems.

1115 1.8 mrg 11, GCC 3.4.3 is available as <code>/usr/sfw/bin/gcc</code>. Solaris 11
1116 1.7 mrg also provides GCC 4.5.2, 4.7.3, and 4.8.2 as
1117 1.8 mrg <code>/usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc</code> or similar. Alternatively,
1118 1.1 mrg you can install a pre-built GCC to bootstrap and install GCC. See the

1123 1.1 mrg recommend using the following initial sequence of commands
1124 1.8 mrg </p>
1125 1.8 mrg <div class="smallexample">

1128 1.8 mrg </pre></div>
1129 1.1 mrg
1130 1.8 mrg <p>and proceed as described in <a href="configure.html">the configure instructions</a>.
1131 1.1 mrg In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
1132 1.8 mrg <code><var>srcdir</var>/configure</code>.

1134 1.8 mrg <p>Solaris 10 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
1135 1.1 mrg are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>,
1136 1.1 mrg <code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>,
1137 1.1 mrg <code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>. If you did not install all
1138 1.7 mrg optional packages when installing Solaris 10, you will need to verify that
1139 1.8 mrg the packages that GCC needs are installed.
1140 1.7 mrg To check whether an optional package is installed, use
1141 1.8 mrg the <code>pkginfo</code> command. To add an optional package, use the
1142 1.8 mrg <code>pkgadd</code> command. For further details, see the Solaris 10
1143 1.1 mrg documentation.
1144 1.8 mrg </p>
1145 1.8 mrg <p>Starting with Solaris 11, the package management has changed, so you
1146 1.7 mrg need to check for <code>system/header</code>, <code>system/linker</code>, and
1147 1.7 mrg <code>developer/assembler</code> packages. Checking for and installing
1148 1.8 mrg packages is done with the <code>pkg</code> command now.
1149 1.8 mrg </p>
1150 1.8 mrg <p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in
1151 1.8 mrg <samp>/usr/ucb</samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
1152 1.1 mrg For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove
1153 1.8 mrg <samp>/usr/ucb</samp> from your <code>PATH</code>.
1154 1.8 mrg </p>
1155 1.8 mrg <p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you
1156 1.8 mrg have <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> in your <code>PATH</code>, we recommend that you place
1157 1.8 mrg <samp>/usr/bin</samp> before <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> for the duration of the build.
1158 1.8 mrg </p>
1159 1.8 mrg <p>We recommend the use of the Solaris assembler or the GNU assembler, in
1160 1.8 mrg conjunction with the Solaris linker. The GNU <code>as</code>

1168 1.7 mrg if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Solaris tools: while the
1169 1.8 mrg combination GNU <code>as</code> + Sun <code>ld</code> should reasonably work,
1170 1.8 mrg the reverse combination Sun <code>as</code> + GNU <code>ld</code> may fail to
1171 1.8 mrg build or cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs.
1172 1.8 mrg GNU <code>ld</code> usually works as well, although the version included in

1174 1.7 mrg version (2.26) is known to work, but generally lacks platform specific
1175 1.8 mrg features, so better stay with Solaris <code>ld</code>. To use the LTO linker
1176 1.8 mrg plugin (<samp>-fuse-linker-plugin</samp>) with GNU <code>ld</code>, GNU
1177 1.8 mrg binutils <em>must</em> be configured with <samp>--enable-largefile</samp>.

1179 1.8 mrg <p>To enable symbol versioning in ‘<samp>libstdc++</samp>’ with the Solaris linker,
1180 1.8 mrg you need to have any version of GNU <code>c++filt</code>, which is part of

1182 1.8 mrg appropriate version is found. Solaris <code>c++filt</code> from the Solaris

1211 1.1 mrg <p>When GCC is configured to use GNU binutils 2.14 or later, the binaries

1216 1.8 mrg <p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing

1219 1.1 mrg However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you
1220 1.8 mrg should try the <samp>-mtune=ultrasparc</samp> option instead, which produces

1307 1.8 mrg We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.
1308 1.1 mrg Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely

1313 1.8 mrg <p>VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in

1315 1.8 mrg Choose an installation <var>prefix</var> entirely outside <var>$WIND_BASE</var>.
1316 1.8 mrg Before running <code>configure</code>, create the directories <samp><var>prefix</var></samp>
1317 1.8 mrg and <samp><var>prefix</var>/bin</samp>. Link or copy the appropriate assembler,

1319 1.8 mrg include that directory while running both <code>configure</code> and
1320 1.8 mrg <code>make</code>.
1321 1.8 mrg </p>
1322 1.8 mrg <p>You must give <code>configure</code> the
1323 1.8 mrg <samp>--with-headers=<var>$WIND_BASE</var>/target/h</samp> switch so that it can
1324 1.1 mrg find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation
1325 1.8 mrg target only, you must also specify <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>.
1326 1.8 mrg <code>configure</code> will attempt to create the directory
1327 1.8 mrg <samp><var>prefix</var>/<var>target</var>/sys-include</samp> and copy files into it;
1328 1.8 mrg make sure the user running <code>configure</code> has sufficient privilege

1451 1.1 mrg cpu architecture desired; the default is i686-pc-cygwin. It should be
1452 1.1 mrg used with as up-to-date a version of binutils as possible; use either
1453 1.1 mrg the latest official GNU binutils release in the Cygwin distribution,
1454 1.1 mrg or version 2.20 or above if building your own.

1473 1.8 mrg <h3 class="heading">Older systems</h3>
1474 1.1 mrg <p>GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early
1475 1.1 mrg 1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems
1476 1.1 mrg has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for
1477 1.1 mrg several years and may suffer from bitrot.
1478 1.8 mrg </p>
1479 1.8 mrg <p>Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of “obsoleted” systems.
1480 1.1 mrg Support for these systems is still present in that release, but
1481 1.8 mrg <code>configure</code> will fail unless the <samp>--enable-obsolete</samp>
1482 1.1 mrg option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these
1483 1.1 mrg systems will be removed from the next release of GCC.
1484 1.8 mrg </p>
1485 1.8 mrg <p>Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
1486 1.1 mrg workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
1487 1.1 mrg cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to
1488 1.1 mrg bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
1489 1.1 mrg require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
1490 1.1 mrg system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the
1491 1.1 mrg vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the
1492 1.8 mrg <samp>old-releases</samp> directory on the <a href="../mirrors.html">GCC mirror
1493 1.8 mrg sites</a>. Header bugs may generally be avoided using
1494 1.8 mrg <code>fixincludes</code>, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the
1495 1.1 mrg operating system may still cause problems.
1496 1.8 mrg </p>
1497 1.8 mrg <p>Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
1498 1.1 mrg problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast
1499 1.1 mrg wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of
1500 1.1 mrg the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last
1501 1.1 mrg version before they were removed), patches
1502 1.1 mrg <a href="../contribute.html">following the usual requirements</a> would be
1503 1.1 mrg likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more
1504 1.1 mrg modern targets.
1505 1.8 mrg </p>
1506 1.8 mrg <p>For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
1507 1.8 mrg and are available from <samp>pub/binutils/old-releases</samp> on
1508 1.1 mrg <a href="http://sourceware.org/mirrors.html">sourceware.org mirror sites</a>.
1509 1.8 mrg </p>
1510 1.8 mrg <p>Some of the information on specific systems above relates to
1511 1.1 mrg such older systems, but much of the information
1512 1.1 mrg about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to
1513 1.1 mrg current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual.
