  9. <title>Re-adjusting the Toolchain</title>
  10. <para>Now that the final C libraries have been installed, it is time to adjust
  11. the toolchain again. The toolchain will be adjusted so that it will link any
  12. newly compiled program against these new libraries. This is a similar process
  13. used in the <quote>Adjusting</quote> phase in the beginning of <xref
  14. linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>, but with the adjustments reversed. In <xref
  15. linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>, the chain was guided from the host's
  16. <filename class="directory">/{,usr/}lib</filename> directories to the new
  17. <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename> directory. Now, the chain will
  18. be guided from that same <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>
  19. directory to the LFS <filename class="directory">/{,usr/}lib</filename>
  20. directories.</para>
  21. <para>First, backup the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> linker,
  22. and replace it with the adjusted linker we made in chapter 5. We'll also create
  23. a link to its counterpart in <filename class="directory">/tools/$(gcc
  24. -dumpmachine)/bin</filename>:</para>
  25. <screen><userinput>mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
  26. mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
  27. mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
  28. ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld</userinput></screen>
  29. <para>Next, amend the GCC specs file so that it points to the new
  30. dynamic linker. Simply deleting all instances of <quote>/tools</quote> should
  31. leave us with the correct path to the dynamic linker. Also adjust the specs file
  32. so that GCC knows where to find the correct headers and Glibc start files.
  33. A <command>sed</command> command accomplishes this:</para>
  34. <screen><userinput>gcc -dumpspecs | sed -e 's@/tools@@g' \
  35. -e '/\*startfile_prefix_spec:/{n;s@.*@/usr/lib/ @}' \
  36. -e '/\*cpp:/{n;s@$@ -isystem /usr/include@}' &gt; \
  37. `dirname $(gcc --print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs</userinput></screen>
  38. <para>It is a good idea to visually inspect the specs file to verify the
  39. intended change was actually made.</para>
  40. <para>It is imperative at this point to ensure that the basic
  41. functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain are working
  42. as expected. To do this, perform the following sanity checks:</para>
  43. <screen os="a"><userinput>echo 'main(){}' &gt; dummy.c
  44. cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &amp;&gt; dummy.log
  45. readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'</userinput></screen>
  46. <para os="b">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  47. and the output of the last command will be (allowing for
  48. platform-specific differences in dynamic linker name):</para>
  49. <screen os="c"><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]</computeroutput></screen>
  50. <para>Note that <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> is now
  51. the prefix of our dynamic linker.</para>
  52. <para os="d">Now make sure that we're setup to use the correct startfiles:</para>
  53. <screen os="e"><userinput>grep -o '/usr/lib.*/crt[1in].*succeeded' dummy.log</userinput></screen>
  54. <para os="f">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  55. and the output of the last command will be:</para>
  56. <screen><computeroutput>/usr/lib/crt1.o succeeded
  57. /usr/lib/crti.o succeeded
  58. /usr/lib/crtn.o succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
  59. <para os="g">Verify that the compiler is searching for the correct header
  60. files:</para>
  61. <screen><userinput>grep -B1 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log</userinput></screen>
  62. <para os="h">This command should return successfully with the following output:</para>
  63. <screen><computeroutput>#include &lt;...&gt; search starts here:
  64. /usr/include</computeroutput></screen>
  65. <para os="i">Next, verify that the new linker is being used with the correct search paths:</para>
  66. <screen os="j"><userinput>grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g'</userinput></screen>
  67. <para os="k">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  68. and the output of the last command (allowing for platform-specific target triplets)
  69. will be:</para>
  70. <screen><computeroutput>SEARCH_DIR("/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
  71. SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib")
  72. SEARCH_DIR("/lib");</computeroutput></screen>
  73. <para os="l">Next make sure that we're using the correct libc:</para>
  74. <screen os="m"><userinput>grep "/lib.*/libc.so.6 " dummy.log</userinput></screen>
  75. <para os="n">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  76. and the output of the last command (allowing for a lib64 directory on 64-bit hosts)
  77. will be:</para>
  78. <screen os="o"><computeroutput>attempt to open /lib/libc.so.6 succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
  79. <para os="p">Lastly, make sure GCC is using the correct dynamic linker:</para>
  80. <screen os="q"><userinput>grep found dummy.log</userinput></screen>
  81. <para os="r">If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors,
  82. and the output of the last command will be (allowing for
  83. platform-specific differences in dynamic linker name and a lib64 directory
  84. on 64-bit hosts):</para>
  85. <screen os="s"><computeroutput>found ld-linux.so.2 at /lib/ld-linux.so.2</computeroutput></screen>
  86. <para os="t">If the output does not appear as shown above or is not received
  87. at all, then something is seriously wrong. Investigate and retrace the
  88. steps to find out where the problem is and correct it. The most likely
  89. reason is that something went wrong with the specs file adjustment. Any
  90. issues will need to be resolved before continuing on with the process.</para>
  91. <para os="u">Once everything is working correctly, clean up the test files:</para>
  92. <screen os="v"><userinput>rm -v dummy.c a.out dummy.log</userinput></screen>
  93. </sect1>
