    443  1.8    mrg <p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions.  These are

    448  1.8    mrg </p>
    449  1.8    mrg <p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors.  Thus,

    500  1.8    mrg <samp>--enable-languages=&quot;c,c++,f77,objc&quot;</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 &lsquo;<samp>hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; 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 &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; 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=&quot;cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE&quot;</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&amp;R/bundled mode.  The <samp>+DA2.0W</samp> option will result in
    529  1.8    mrg the automatic selection of the &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; 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&rsquo;t necessary with <samp>-Ae</samp>.
    534  1.8    mrg </p>
    535  1.8    mrg <p>It is best to explicitly configure the &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; target
    536  1.8    mrg with the <samp>--with-ld=&hellip;</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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 &lsquo;<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>&rsquo; 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t provide stubs for internal calls to global functions
    577  1.8    mrg in shared libraries, so these calls can&rsquo;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

   1117  1.8    mrg <code>/usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc</code> or similar.  Alternatively,

   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>.
   1133  1.8    mrg </p>
   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>
   1161  1.7    mrg versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils 2.15 (in
   1162  1.8    mrg <samp>/usr/sfw/bin/gas</samp>), and Solaris 11,
   1163  1.8    mrg from GNU binutils 2.19 or newer (also in <samp>/usr/bin/gas</samp> and
   1164  1.8    mrg <samp>/usr/gnu/bin/as</samp>), are known to work.
   1165  1.7    mrg Current versions of GNU binutils (2.26)
   1166  1.7    mrg are known to work as well, with the caveat mentioned in
   1167  1.7    mrg <a href="#ix86-x-solaris210">i?86-*-solaris2.10</a> .  Note that your mileage may vary
   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
   1173  1.1    mrg Solaris 10 cannot be used due to several bugs.  Again, the current
   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>.
   1178  1.8    mrg </p>
   1179  1.8    mrg <p>To enable symbol versioning in &lsquo;<samp>libstdc++</samp>&rsquo; with the Solaris linker,
   1180  1.8    mrg you need to have any version of GNU <code>c++filt</code>, which is part of
   1181  1.8    mrg GNU binutils.  &lsquo;<samp>libstdc++</samp>&rsquo; symbol versioning will be disabled if no
   1182  1.8    mrg appropriate version is found.  Solaris <code>c++filt</code> from the Solaris
   1183  1.7    mrg Studio compilers does <em>not</em> work.
   1184  1.8    mrg </p>
   1185  1.8    mrg <p>GNU <code>make</code> version 3.81 or later is required to build libjava
   1186  1.7    mrg with the Solaris linker.
   1187  1.8    mrg </p>
   1188  1.8    mrg <p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures
   1189  1.8    mrg related to missing diagnostic output.  This bug doesn&rsquo;t affect GCC
   1190  1.8    mrg itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <code>expect</code>
   1191  1.1    mrg program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver.  When the bug
   1192  1.8    mrg causes the <code>expect</code> program to miss anticipated output, extra

   1212  1.8    mrg produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun&rsquo;s native tools;
   1213  1.1    mrg this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging

   1216  1.8    mrg <p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
   1217  1.1    mrg 64-bit SPARC V9 binaries.  GCC 3.1 and later properly supports
   1218  1.8    mrg this; the <samp>-m64</samp> option enables 64-bit code generation.
   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
   1221  1.1    mrg code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC

   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 &ldquo;obsoleted&rdquo; 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
