- <title>Adjusting the Toolchain</title>
- <para>Now that the final C libraries have been installed, it is time to adjust
- the toolchain so that it will link any
- newly compiled program against these new libraries.</para>
- <para>First, backup the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> linker,
- and replace it with the adjusted linker we made in chapter 5. We'll also create
- a link to its counterpart in <filename class="directory">/tools/$(gcc
- -dumpmachine)/bin</filename>:</para>
- <screen><userinput>mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
- mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
- mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
- ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld</userinput></screen>
- <para>Next, amend the GCC specs file so that it points to the new
- dynamic linker. Simply deleting all instances of <quote>/tools</quote> should
- leave us with the correct path to the dynamic linker. Also adjust the specs file
- so that GCC knows where to find the correct headers and Glibc start files.
- A <command>sed</command> command accomplishes this:</para>
- <screen><userinput>gcc -dumpspecs | sed -e 's@/tools@@g' \
- -e '/\*startfile_prefix_spec:/{n;s@.*@/usr/lib/ @}' \
- -e '/\*cpp:/{n;s@$@ -isystem /usr/include@}' > \
- `dirname $(gcc --print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs</userinput></screen>
- <para>It is a good idea to visually inspect the specs file to verify the
- intended change was actually made.</para>
- <para>It is imperative at this point to ensure that the basic
- functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain are working
- as expected. To do this, perform the following sanity checks:</para>
- <screen os="a"><userinput>echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
- cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &> dummy.log
- readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'</userinput></screen>
- <para os="b">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
- and the output of the last command will be (allowing for
- platform-specific differences in dynamic linker name):</para>
- <screen os="c"><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]</computeroutput></screen>
- <para>Note that <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> is now
- the prefix of our dynamic linker.</para>
- <para os="d">Now make sure that we're setup to use the correct startfiles:</para>
- <screen os="e"><userinput>grep -o '/usr/lib.*/crt[1in].*succeeded' dummy.log</userinput></screen>
- <para os="f">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
- and the output of the last command will be:</para>
- <screen><computeroutput>/usr/lib/crt1.o succeeded
- /usr/lib/crti.o succeeded
- /usr/lib/crtn.o succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
- <para os="g">Verify that the compiler is searching for the correct header
- files:</para>
- <screen><userinput>grep -B1 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log</userinput></screen>
- <para os="h">This command should return successfully with the following output:</para>
- <screen><computeroutput>#include <...> search starts here:
- /usr/include</computeroutput></screen>
- <para os="i">Next, verify that the new linker is being used with the correct search paths:</para>
- <screen os="j"><userinput>grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g'</userinput></screen>
- <para os="k">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
- and the output of the last command (allowing for platform-specific target triplets)
- will be:</para>
- <screen><computeroutput>SEARCH_DIR("/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
- SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib")
- SEARCH_DIR("/lib");</computeroutput></screen>
- <para os="l">Next make sure that we're using the correct libc:</para>
- <screen os="m"><userinput>grep "/lib.*/libc.so.6 " dummy.log</userinput></screen>
- <para os="n">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
- and the output of the last command (allowing for a lib64 directory on 64-bit hosts)
- will be:</para>
- <screen os="o"><computeroutput>attempt to open /lib/libc.so.6 succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
- <para os="p">Lastly, make sure GCC is using the correct dynamic linker:</para>
- <screen os="q"><userinput>grep found dummy.log</userinput></screen>
- <para os="r">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
- and the output of the last command will be (allowing for
- platform-specific differences in dynamic linker name and a lib64 directory
- on 64-bit hosts):</para>
- <screen os="s"><computeroutput>found ld-linux.so.2 at /lib/ld-linux.so.2</computeroutput></screen>
- <para os="t">If the output does not appear as shown above or is not received
- at all, then something is seriously wrong. Investigate and retrace the
- steps to find out where the problem is and correct it. The most likely
- reason is that something went wrong with the specs file adjustment. Any
- issues will need to be resolved before continuing on with the process.</para>
- <para os="u">Once everything is working correctly, clean up the test files:</para>
- <screen os="v"><userinput>rm -v dummy.c a.out dummy.log</userinput></screen>
