  34. <title>Installation of GCC</title>
  35. <para>Versions of GCC later than 4.3 will treat this build as if
  36. it were a relocated compiler and disallow searching for startfiles in
  37. the location specified by <parameter>--prefix</parameter>. Since this
  38. will not be a relocated compiler, and the startfiles in
  39. <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> are crucial to building
  40. a working compiler linked to the libs in <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>,
  41. apply the following patch which partially reverts GCC to its old behavior:</para>
  42. <screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-startfiles-patch;</userinput></screen>
  43. <para>Under normal circumstances the GCC <command>fixincludes</command> script
  44. is run in order to fix potentially broken header files. As GCC-&gcc-version;
  45. and Glibc-&glibc-version; have already been installed at this point, and
  46. their respective header files are known to not require fixing, the
  47. <command>fixincludes</command> script is not required. As mentioned
  48. previously, the script may in fact pollute the build environment by
  49. installing fixed headers from the host system into GCC's private include
  50. directory. The running of the <command>fixincludes</command> script can
  51. be suppressed by issuing the following commands:</para>
  52. <screen><userinput remap="pre">cp -v gcc/Makefile.in{,.orig}
  53. sed 's@\./fixinc\.sh@-c true@' gcc/Makefile.in.orig &gt; gcc/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>
  54. <para>Non-bootstrap builds omit the <option>-fomit-frame-pointer</option>
  55. build flag by default, and the goal should be to produce a compiler that is
  56. exactly the same as if it were bootstrapped. Apply the following
  57. <command>sed</command> command to force the build to use the flag:</para>
  58. <screen><userinput remap="pre">cp -v gcc/Makefile.in{,.tmp}
  59. sed 's/^XCFLAGS =$/&amp; -fomit-frame-pointer/' gcc/Makefile.in.tmp \
  60. &gt; gcc/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>
  61. <para>The following command will change the location of GCC's default
  62. dynamic linker to use the one installed in
  63. <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>. It also removes <filename
  64. class="directory">/usr/include</filename> from GCC's include search path.
  65. Doing this now rather than adjusting the specs file after installation
  66. ensures that the new dynamic linker is used during the actual build of
  67. GCC. That is, all of the binaries created during the build will link
  68. against the new Glibc. Issue:</para>
  69. <screen><userinput remap="pre">for file in \
  70. $(find gcc/config -name linux64.h -o -name linux.h -o -name sysv4.h)
  71. do
  72. cp -uv $file{,.orig}
  73. sed -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?\(32\)\?/ld@/tools&amp;@g' \
  74. -e 's@/usr@/tools@g' $file.orig &gt; $file
  75. echo '
  76. #undef STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR
  77. #define STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR 0
  78. #define STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1 ""
  79. #define STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_2 ""' &gt;&gt; $file
  80. touch $file.orig
  81. done</userinput></screen>
  82. <para>In case the above seems hard to follow, let's break it down a bit.
  83. First we find all the files under the gcc/config directory that are named
  84. either <filename>linux.h</filename>, <filename>linux64.h</filename> or
  85. <filename>sysv4.h</filename>.
  86. For each file found, we copy it to a file of the same name but with an added
  87. suffix of <quote>.orig</quote>. Then the first sed expression prepends
  88. <quote>/tools</quote> to every instance of <quote>/lib/ld</quote>,
  89. <quote>/lib64/ld</quote> or <quote>/lib32/ld</quote>, while the second one
  90. replaces hard-coded instances of <quote>/usr</quote>. Then we add our define
  91. statements which alter the include search path and the default startfile prefix
  92. to the end of the file.
  93. Finally, we use <command>touch</command> to update the timestamp on the copied files.
  94. When used in conjunction with <command>cp -u</command>, this prevents unexpected
  95. changes to the original files in case the command is inadvertently run twice.
  96. </para>
  97. <para>On x86_64, unsetting the multlib spec for GCC ensures that it
  98. won't attempt to link against libraries on the host:</para>
  99. <screen><userinput remap="pre">case $(uname -m) in

  101. for file in $(find gcc/config -name t-linux64) ; do \

  104. done
  105. ;;
  106. esac</userinput></screen>
  107. <para>As in the first build of GCC it requires the GMP and MPFR packages.
  108. Unpack the tarballs and move them into the required directory names:</para>
  109. <screen><userinput remap="pre">tar -jxf ../mpfr-&mpfr-version;.tar.bz2
  110. mv mpfr-&mpfr-version; mpfr
  111. tar -jxf ../gmp-&gmp-version;.tar.bz2
  112. mv gmp-&gmp-version; gmp</userinput></screen>
  113. <para>Create a separate build directory again:</para>
  114. <screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -v ../gcc-build
  115. cd ../gcc-build</userinput></screen>
  116. <para>Before starting to build GCC, remember to unset any environment
  117. variables that override the default optimization flags.</para>
  118. <para>Now prepare GCC for compilation:</para>

  132. <para>This option ensures the correct locale model is selected
  133. for the C++ libraries under all circumstances. If the configure

  135. it will select the correct gnu locale model. However, if the
  136. <emphasis>de_DE</emphasis> locale is not installed, there is the
  137. risk of building Application Binary Interface (ABI)-incompatible
  138. C++ libraries because the incorrect generic locale model may be

  153. for local statics and global objects. This option is essential for
  154. fully standards-compliant handling of destructors. It also affects
  155. the C++ ABI, and therefore results in C++ shared libraries and C++

  185. <para>Install the package:</para>
  186. <screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
  187. <para>As a finishing touch, create a symlink. Many programs and scripts
  188. run <command>cc</command> instead of <command>gcc</command>, which is
  189. used to keep programs generic and therefore usable on all kinds of UNIX
  190. systems where the GNU C compiler is not always installed. Running
  191. <command>cc</command> leaves the system administrator free to decide
  192. which C compiler to install:</para>
  193. <screen><userinput remap="install">ln -vs gcc /tools/bin/cc</userinput></screen>
  194. <caution>
  195. <para>At this point, it is imperative to stop and ensure that the basic
  196. functions (compiling and linking) of the new toolchain are working as
  197. expected. To perform a sanity check, run the following commands:</para>
  198. <screen><userinput>echo 'main(){}' &gt; dummy.c
  199. cc dummy.c
  200. readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'</userinput></screen>
  201. <para>If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  202. and the output of the last command will be of the form:</para>
  203. <screen><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter:
  204. /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2]</computeroutput></screen>
  205. <para>Note that <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>, or
  206. <filename class="directory">/tools/lib64</filename> for 64-bit machines
  207. appears as the prefix of the dynamic linker.</para>
  208. <para>If the output is not shown as above or there was no output at all,
  209. then something is wrong. Investigate and retrace the steps to find out
  210. where the problem is and correct it. This issue must be resolved before
  211. continuing on. First, perform the sanity check again, using
  212. <command>gcc</command> instead of <command>cc</command>. If this works,
  213. then the <filename class="symlink">/tools/bin/cc</filename> symlink is
  214. missing. Install the symlink as per above.
  215. Next, ensure that the <envar>PATH</envar> is correct. This
  216. can be checked by running <command>echo $PATH</command> and verifying that
  217. <filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> is at the head of the
  218. list. If the <envar>PATH</envar> is wrong it could mean that you are not
  219. logged in as user <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem> or that
  220. something went wrong back in <xref linkend="ch-tools-settingenviron"

  222. <para>Once all is well, clean up the test files:</para>
