- <title>Adjusting the toolchain</title>
 
- <?dbhtml filename="adjusting.html"?>
 
- <para>Now that the temporary C libraries have been installed, all
 
- the tools compiled in the rest of this chapter should be linked against these
 
- libraries. In order to accomplish this, the linker and the compiler's
 
- specs file, need to be adjsted.</para>
 
- <para> Some people would say that there is <emphasis><quote>black magic juju
 
- below this line</quote></emphasis>, but it is really very simple.</para>
 
- <para>First, the linker, adjusted at the end of the first pass of Binutils, is
 
- installed by running the following command from within
 
- the <filename class="directory">binutils-build</filename> directory:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>make -C ld install</userinput></screen>
 
- <para>From this point onwards everything will link <emphasis>only</emphasis>
 
- against the libraries in <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>.</para>
 
- <note><para>If you missed the earlier warning to retain the Binutils
 
- source and build directories from the first pass, dont worry - all is not lost.
 
- Just ignore the above command. This results in a small chance of the subsequent
 
- testing programs linking against libraries on the host. This is not ideal, but
 
- it's not a major problem. The situation is corrected when the second pass of
 
- Binutils is installed later on.</para></note>
 
- <para>Now that the adjusted linker is installed, the Binutils build and source
 
- directories should be <emphasis>removed</emphasis>.</para>
 
- <para>The next task is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points
 
- to the new dynamic linker. A simple sed script will accomplish this:</para>
 
- <!-- Ampersands are needed to allow cut and paste -->
 
- <screen><userinput>SPECFILE=`gcc --print-file specs` &&
 
- sed 's@ /lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
 
-     $SPECFILE > tempspecfile &&
 
- mv -f tempspecfile $SPECFILE &&
 
- unset SPECFILE</userinput></screen>
 
- <para>It is recommended that the above command be cut-and-pasted in order to
 
- ensure correctness - Alternatively, the specs file can be edited by hand. This
 
- is done simply by replacing every occurrence of
 
- <quote>/lib/ld-linux.so.2</quote> with <quote>/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2</quote>.
 
- </para>
 
- <para> Be sure to visually inspect the specs file in order to verify the intended changes have been made.</para>
 
- <important><para>If you are working on a platform where the name of the dynamic
 
- linker is something other than <filename>ld-linux.so.2</filename>, you
 
- <emphasis>must</emphasis> replace <filename>ld-linux.so.2</filename> with the
 
- name of your platform's dynamic linker in the above commands. Refer back to
 
- <xref linkend="ch-tools-toolchaintechnotes"/> if necessary.</para></important>
 
- <para>Lastly, there is a possibility that some include files from the host
 
- system have found their way into GCC's private include dir. This can happen
 
- as a result of of GCC's <quote>fixincludes</quote> process which runs as part
 
- of the GCC build.  We'll explain more about this further on in this chapter.
 
- Run the following commands to eliminate this possibility:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>rm -f /tools/lib/gcc/*/*/include/{pthread.h,bits/sigthread.h}</userinput></screen>
 
- <caution><para>It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure that the basic
 
- functions (compiling and linking) of the new toolchain are working as expected.
 
- To perform a simple sanity check, run the following commands:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
 
- cc dummy.c
 
- readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'</userinput></screen>
 
- <para>If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors, and the
 
- output of the last command will be of the form:</para>
 
- <blockquote><screen><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2]</computeroutput></screen></blockquote>
 
- <para>Note especially that <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>
 
- appears as the prefix of our dynamic linker.</para>
 
- <para>If the output is not
 
- as shown above, or there was no output at all, then something is seriously
 
- wrong. You will need to investigate and retrace your steps to find out where the
 
- problem is and correct it. There is no point in continuing until this is done.
 
- First, perform the sanity check again, using <command>gcc</command> instead of
 
- <command>cc</command>. If this works, then the
 
- <filename class="symlink">/tools/bin/cc</filename> symlink is missing. Revisit
 
- <xref linkend="ch-tools-gcc-pass1"/> and install the symlink. Second, ensure your PATH
 
- is correct. You can check this by running <userinput>echo $PATH</userinput> and
 
- verifying that <filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> is at the head
 
- of the list. If the PATH is wrong it could mean you're not logged in as user
 
- <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> or something went wrong back in
 
- <xref linkend="ch-tools-settingenviron"/>. Third, something may have gone wrong with
 
- the specs file amendment above. In this case redo the specs file amendment
 
- being careful to cut-and-paste the commands.</para>
 
- <para>Once you are satisfied that all is well, clean up the test files:</para>
 
- <screen><userinput>rm dummy.c a.out</userinput></screen>
 
- </caution>
 
- </sect1>
