<p>Binutils pre 2.24 does not have support for selecting <samp>-mabi</samp> and
|

not support option <samp>-mabi=ilp32</samp>.

|
|
<p>To enable a workaround for the Cortex-A53 erratum number 835769 by default
|
|
(for all CPUs regardless of -mcpu option given) at configure time use the
|
|
<samp>--enable-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> option. This will enable the fix by
|
|
default and can be explicitly disabled during compilation by passing the
|
|
<samp>-mno-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> option. Conversely,
|
|
<samp>--disable-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> will disable the workaround by
|
|
default. The workaround is disabled by default if neither of
|
|
<samp>--enable-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> or
|
|
<samp>--disable-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> is given at configure time.

</p>
|
|
<p>To enable a workaround for the Cortex-A53 erratum number 843419 by default
|
|
(for all CPUs regardless of -mcpu option given) at configure time use the
|
|
<samp>--enable-fix-cortex-a53-843419</samp> option. This workaround is applied at
|
|
link time. Enabling the workaround will cause GCC to pass the relevant option
|
|
to the linker. It can be explicitly disabled during compilation by passing the
|
|
<samp>-mno-fix-cortex-a53-843419</samp> option. Conversely,
|
|
<samp>--disable-fix-cortex-a53-843419</samp> will disable the workaround by default.
|
|
The workaround is disabled by default if neither of
|
|
<samp>--enable-fix-cortex-a53-843419</samp> or
|
|
<samp>--disable-fix-cortex-a53-843419</samp> is given at configure time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>To enable Branch Target Identification Mechanism and Return Address Signing by
|
|
default at configure time use the <samp>--enable-standard-branch-protection</samp>
|
|
option. This is equivalent to having <samp>-mbranch-protection=standard</samp>
|
|
during compilation. This can be explicitly disabled during compilation by
|
|
passing the <samp>-mbranch-protection=none</samp> option which turns off all
|
|
types of branch protections. Conversely,
|
|
<samp>--disable-standard-branch-protection</samp> will disable both the
|
|
protections by default. This mechanism is turned off by default if neither
|
|
of the options are given at configure time.

<p>Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2. Support for
|
|
FreeBSD 2 (and any mutant a.out variants of FreeBSD 3) was
|
|
discontinued in GCC 4.0.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In order to better utilize FreeBSD base system functionality and match
|
|
the configuration of the system compiler, GCC 4.5 and above as well as
|
|
GCC 4.4 past 2010-06-20 leverage SSP support in libc (which is present
|
|
on FreeBSD 7 or later) and the use of <code>__cxa_atexit</code> by default
|
|
(on FreeBSD 6 or later). The use of <code>dl_iterate_phdr</code> inside
|
|
<samp>libgcc_s.so.1</samp> and boehm-gc (on FreeBSD 7 or later) is enabled
|
|
by GCC 4.5 and above.

</p>
|
|
<p>We support FreeBSD using the ELF file format with DWARF 2 debugging
|
|
for all CPU architectures. You may use <samp>-gstabs</samp> instead of
|
|
<samp>-g</samp>, if you really want the old debugging format. There are
|
|
no known issues with mixing object files and libraries with different
|
|
debugging formats. Otherwise, this release of GCC should now match
|
|
more of the configuration used in the stock FreeBSD configuration of
|
|
GCC. In particular, <samp>--enable-threads</samp> is now configured by
|
|
default. However, as a general user, do not attempt to replace the
|
|
system compiler with this release. Known to bootstrap and check with
|
|
good results on FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE. In the past, known to bootstrap

<p>The version of binutils installed in <samp>/usr/bin</samp> probably works

been known to enable additional features and improve overall testsuite
|

properly on FreeBSD prior to the FreeBSD 7.0 release with GNU binutils
|
|
after 2.16.1.

<p>Support for HP-UX version 9 and older was discontinued in GCC 3.4.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We require using gas/binutils on all hppa platforms. Version 2.19 or
|
|
later is recommended.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It may be helpful to configure GCC with the
|
|
<a href="./configure.html#with-gnu-as"><samp>--with-gnu-as</samp></a> and
|
|
<samp>--with-as=…</samp> options to ensure that GCC can find GAS.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The HP assembler should not be used with GCC. It is rarely tested and may
|
|
not work. It shouldn’t be used with any languages other than C due to its
|
|
many limitations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Specifically, <samp>-g</samp> does not work (HP-UX uses a peculiar debugging
|
|
format which GCC does not know about). It also inserts timestamps
|
|
into each object file it creates, causing the 3-stage comparison test to
|
|
fail during a bootstrap. You should be able to continue by saying
|
|
‘<samp>make all-host all-target</samp>’ after getting the failure from ‘<samp>make</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Various GCC features are not supported. For example, it does not support weak
|
|
symbols or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations
|
|
are required when using C++. This makes it difficult if not impossible to
|
|
build many C++ applications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>There are two default scheduling models for instructions. These are
|
|
PROCESSOR_7100LC and PROCESSOR_8000. They are selected from the pa-risc
|
|
architecture specified for the target machine when configuring.
|
|
PROCESSOR_8000 is the default. PROCESSOR_7100LC is selected when
|
|
the target is a ‘<samp>hppa1*</samp>’ machine.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The PROCESSOR_8000 model is not well suited to older processors. Thus,
|
|
it is important to completely specify the machine architecture when
|
|
configuring if you want a model other than PROCESSOR_8000. The macro
|
|
TARGET_SCHED_DEFAULT can be defined in BOOT_CFLAGS if a different
|
|
default scheduling model is desired.

|
|
<p>As of GCC 4.0, GCC uses the UNIX 95 namespace for HP-UX 10.10
|
|
through 11.00, and the UNIX 98 namespace for HP-UX 11.11 and later.
|
|
This namespace change might cause problems when bootstrapping with
|
|
an earlier version of GCC or the HP compiler as essentially the same
|
|
namespace is required for an entire build. This problem can be avoided
|
|
in a number of ways. With HP cc, <code>UNIX_STD</code> can be set to ‘<samp>95</samp>’
|
|
or ‘<samp>98</samp>’. Another way is to add an appropriate set of predefines
|
|
to <code>CC</code>. The description for the <samp>munix=</samp> option contains
|
|
a list of the predefines used with each standard.

<p>GCC 3.0 and up support HP-UX 11. GCC 2.95.x is not supported and cannot

be used to compile GCC 3.0 and up.
|

</p>
|
|
<p>The libffi library haven’t been ported to 64-bit HP-UX and doesn’t build.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Refer to <a href="binaries.html">binaries</a> for information about obtaining
|
|
precompiled GCC binaries for HP-UX. Precompiled binaries must be obtained
|
|
to build the Ada language as it cannot be bootstrapped using C. Ada is
|
|
only available for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Starting with GCC 3.4 an ISO C compiler is required to bootstrap. The
|
|
bundled compiler supports only traditional C; you will need either HP’s
|
|
unbundled compiler, or a binary distribution of GCC.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It is possible to build GCC 3.3 starting with the bundled HP compiler,
|
|
but the process requires several steps. GCC 3.3 can then be used to
|
|
build later versions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
|
|
Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC
|
|
distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC
|
|
first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.
|
|
There have been problems with various binary distributions, so it
|
|
is best not to start from a binary distribution.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>On 64-bit capable systems, there are two distinct targets. Different
|
|
installation prefixes must be used if both are to be installed on
|
|
the same system. The ‘<samp>hppa[1-2]*-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target generates code
|
|
for the 32-bit PA-RISC runtime architecture and uses the HP linker.
|
|
The ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target generates 64-bit code for the
|
|
PA-RISC 2.0 architecture.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The script config.guess now selects the target type based on the compiler
|
|
detected during configuration. You must define <code>PATH</code> or <code>CC</code> so
|
|
that configure finds an appropriate compiler for the initial bootstrap.
|
|
When <code>CC</code> is used, the definition should contain the options that are
|
|
needed whenever <code>CC</code> is used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Specifically, options that determine the runtime architecture must be
|
|
in <code>CC</code> to correctly select the target for the build. It is also
|
|
convenient to place many other compiler options in <code>CC</code>. For example,
|
|
<code>CC="cc -Ac +DA2.0W -Wp,-H16376 -D_CLASSIC_TYPES -D_HPUX_SOURCE"</code>
|
|
can be used to bootstrap the GCC 3.3 branch with the HP compiler in
|
|
64-bit K&R/bundled mode. The <samp>+DA2.0W</samp> option will result in
|
|
the automatic selection of the ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target. The
|
|
macro definition table of cpp needs to be increased for a successful
|
|
build with the HP compiler. _CLASSIC_TYPES and _HPUX_SOURCE need to
|
|
be defined when building with the bundled compiler, or when using the
|
|
<samp>-Ac</samp> option. These defines aren’t necessary with <samp>-Ae</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It is best to explicitly configure the ‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target
|
|
with the <samp>--with-ld=…</samp> option. This overrides the standard
|
|
search for ld. The two linkers supported on this target require different
|
|
commands. The default linker is determined during configuration. As a
|
|
result, it’s not possible to switch linkers in the middle of a GCC build.
|
|
This has been reported to sometimes occur in unified builds of binutils
|
|
and GCC.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A recent linker patch must be installed for the correct operation of
|
|
GCC 3.3 and later. <code>PHSS_26559</code> and <code>PHSS_24304</code> are the
|
|
oldest linker patches that are known to work. They are for HP-UX
|
|
11.00 and 11.11, respectively. <code>PHSS_24303</code>, the companion to
|
|
<code>PHSS_24304</code>, might be usable but it hasn’t been tested. These
|
|
patches have been superseded. Consult the HP patch database to obtain
|
|
the currently recommended linker patch for your system.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The patches are necessary for the support of weak symbols on the
|
|
32-bit port, and for the running of initializers and finalizers. Weak
|
|
symbols are implemented using SOM secondary definition symbols. Prior
|
|
to HP-UX 11, there are bugs in the linker support for secondary symbols.
|
|
The patches correct a problem of linker core dumps creating shared
|
|
libraries containing secondary symbols, as well as various other
|
|
linking issues involving secondary symbols.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>GCC 3.3 uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capabilities to
|
|
run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The 32-bit port
|
|
uses the linker <samp>+init</samp> and <samp>+fini</samp> options for the same
|
|
purpose. The patches correct various problems with the +init/+fini
|
|
options, including program core dumps. Binutils 2.14 corrects a
|
|
problem on the 64-bit port resulting from HP’s non-standard use of
|
|
the .init and .fini sections for array initializers and finalizers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Although the HP and GNU linkers are both supported for the
|
|
‘<samp>hppa64-hp-hpux11*</samp>’ target, it is strongly recommended that the
|
|
HP linker be used for link editing on this target.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>At this time, the GNU linker does not support the creation of long
|
|
branch stubs. As a result, it cannot successfully link binaries
|
|
containing branch offsets larger than 8 megabytes. In addition,
|
|
there are problems linking shared libraries, linking executables
|
|
with <samp>-static</samp>, and with dwarf2 unwind and exception support.
|
|
It also doesn’t provide stubs for internal calls to global functions
|
|
in shared libraries, so these calls cannot be overloaded.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The HP dynamic loader does not support GNU symbol versioning, so symbol
|
|
versioning is not supported. It may be necessary to disable symbol
|
|
versioning with <samp>--disable-symvers</samp> when using GNU ld.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>POSIX threads are the default. The optional DCE thread library is not
|
|
supported, so <samp>--enable-threads=dce</samp> does not work.

<p>AIX 4.3 utilizes a “large format” archive to support both 32-bit and

64-bit object modules. The routines provided in AIX 4.3.0 and AIX 4.3.1

These routines are used by GCC and result in error messages during

linking such as “not a COFF file”. The version of the routines shipped

|
with AIX 4.3.1 should work for a 32-bit environment. The <samp>-g</samp>
|

option of the archive command may be used to create archives of 32-bit

use NLS to support locale-specific representations of various data

expects. If one encounters this problem, set the <code>LANG</code>
|
|
environment variable to ‘<samp>C</samp>’ or ‘<samp>En_US</samp>’.

<p>A default can be specified with the <samp>-mcpu=<var>cpu_type</var></samp>

<p>If on a MIPS system you get an error message saying “does not have gp
|
|
sections for all it’s [sic] sectons [sic]”, don’t worry about it. This
|
|
happens whenever you use GAS with the MIPS linker, but there is not
|
|
really anything wrong, and it is okay to use the output file. You can
|
|
stop such warnings by installing the GNU linker.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It would be nice to extend GAS to produce the gp tables, but they are
|
|
optional, and there should not be a warning about their absence.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The libstdc++ atomic locking routines for MIPS targets requires MIPS II
|
|
and later. A patch went in just after the GCC 3.3 release to
|
|
make ‘<samp>mips*-*-*</samp>’ use the generic implementation instead. You can also
|
|
configure for ‘<samp>mipsel-elf</samp>’ as a workaround. The
|
|
‘<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>’ target continues to use the MIPS II routines. More
|
|
work on this is expected in future releases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The built-in <code>__sync_*</code> functions are available on MIPS II and
|
|
later systems and others that support the ‘<samp>ll</samp>’, ‘<samp>sc</samp>’ and
|
|
‘<samp>sync</samp>’ instructions. This can be overridden by passing
|
|
<samp>--with-llsc</samp> or <samp>--without-llsc</samp> when configuring GCC.
|
|
Since the Linux kernel emulates these instructions if they are
|
|
missing, the default for ‘<samp>mips*-*-linux*</samp>’ targets is
|
|
<samp>--with-llsc</samp>. The <samp>--with-llsc</samp> and
|
|
<samp>--without-llsc</samp> configure options may be overridden at compile
|
|
time by passing the <samp>-mllsc</samp> or <samp>-mno-llsc</samp> options to
|
|
the compiler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>MIPS systems check for division by zero (unless
|
|
<samp>-mno-check-zero-division</samp> is passed to the compiler) by
|
|
generating either a conditional trap or a break instruction. Using
|
|
trap results in smaller code, but is only supported on MIPS II and
|
|
later. Also, some versions of the Linux kernel have a bug that
|
|
prevents trap from generating the proper signal (<code>SIGFPE</code>). To enable
|
|
the use of break, use the <samp>--with-divide=breaks</samp>
|
|
<code>configure</code> option when configuring GCC. The default is to
|
|
use traps on systems that support them.

<p>Support for Solaris 10 has been obsoleted in GCC 9, but can still be
|
|
enabled by configuring with <samp>--enable-obsolete</samp>. Support will be
|
|
removed in GCC 10. Support for Solaris 9 has been removed in GCC 5.
|
|
Support for Solaris 8 has been removed in GCC 4.8. Support for Solaris
|
|
7 has been removed in GCC 4.6.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sun does not ship a C compiler with Solaris 2 before Solaris 10, though
|
|
you can download the Sun Studio compilers for free. In Solaris 10 and
|
|
11, GCC 3.4.3 is available as <code>/usr/sfw/bin/gcc</code>. Solaris 11
|
|
also provides GCC 4.5.2, 4.7.3, and 4.8.2 as
|
|
<code>/usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc</code> or similar. Alternatively,
|
|
you can install a pre-built GCC to bootstrap and install GCC. See the
|
|
<a href="binaries.html">binaries page</a> for details.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The Solaris 2 <code>/bin/sh</code> will often fail to configure
|
|
‘<samp>libstdc++-v3</samp>’or ‘<samp>boehm-gc</samp>’. We therefore recommend using the
|
|
following initial sequence of commands
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">% CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
|
|
% export CONFIG_SHELL
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>and proceed as described in <a href="configure.html">the configure instructions</a>.
|
|
In addition we strongly recommend specifying an absolute path to invoke
|
|
<code><var>srcdir</var>/configure</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Solaris 10 comes with a number of optional OS packages. Some of these
|
|
are needed to use GCC fully, namely <code>SUNWarc</code>,
|
|
<code>SUNWbtool</code>, <code>SUNWesu</code>, <code>SUNWhea</code>, <code>SUNWlibm</code>,
|
|
<code>SUNWsprot</code>, and <code>SUNWtoo</code>. If you did not install all
|
|
optional packages when installing Solaris 10, you will need to verify that
|
|
the packages that GCC needs are installed.
|
|
To check whether an optional package is installed, use
|
|
the <code>pkginfo</code> command. To add an optional package, use the
|
|
<code>pkgadd</code> command. For further details, see the Solaris 10
|
|
documentation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Starting with Solaris 11, the package management has changed, so you
|
|
need to check for <code>system/header</code>, <code>system/linker</code>, and
|
|
<code>developer/assembler</code> packages. Checking for and installing
|
|
packages is done with the <code>pkg</code> command now.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Trying to use the linker and other tools in
|
|
<samp>/usr/ucb</samp> to install GCC has been observed to cause trouble.
|
|
For example, the linker may hang indefinitely. The fix is to remove
|
|
<samp>/usr/ucb</samp> from your <code>PATH</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The build process works more smoothly with the legacy Sun tools so, if you
|
|
have <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> in your <code>PATH</code>, we recommend that you place
|
|
<samp>/usr/bin</samp> before <samp>/usr/xpg4/bin</samp> for the duration of the build.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We recommend the use of the Solaris assembler or the GNU assembler, in
|
|
conjunction with the Solaris linker. The GNU <code>as</code>
|
|
versions included in Solaris 10, from GNU binutils 2.15 (in
|
|
<samp>/usr/sfw/bin/gas</samp>), and Solaris 11,
|
|
from GNU binutils 2.19 or newer (also in <samp>/usr/bin/gas</samp> and
|
|
<samp>/usr/gnu/bin/as</samp>), are known to work.
|
|
The current version, from GNU binutils 2.29,
|
|
is known to work as well. Note that your mileage may vary
|
|
if you use a combination of the GNU tools and the Solaris tools: while the
|
|
combination GNU <code>as</code> + Sun <code>ld</code> should reasonably work,
|
|
the reverse combination Sun <code>as</code> + GNU <code>ld</code> may fail to
|
|
build or cause memory corruption at runtime in some cases for C++ programs.
|
|
GNU <code>ld</code> usually works as well, although the version included in
|
|
Solaris 10 cannot be used due to several bugs. Again, the current
|
|
version (2.29) is known to work, but generally lacks platform specific
|
|
features, so better stay with Solaris <code>ld</code>. To use the LTO linker
|
|
plugin (<samp>-fuse-linker-plugin</samp>) with GNU <code>ld</code>, GNU
|
|
binutils <em>must</em> be configured with <samp>--enable-largefile</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>To enable symbol versioning in ‘<samp>libstdc++</samp>’ with the Solaris linker,
|
|
you need to have any version of GNU <code>c++filt</code>, which is part of
|
|
GNU binutils. ‘<samp>libstdc++</samp>’ symbol versioning will be disabled if no
|
|
appropriate version is found. Solaris <code>c++filt</code> from the Solaris
|
|
Studio compilers does <em>not</em> work.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures
|
|
related to missing diagnostic output. This bug doesn’t affect GCC
|
|
itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the <code>expect</code>
|
|
program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver. When the bug
|
|
causes the <code>expect</code> program to miss anticipated output, extra
|
|
testsuite failures appear.

<h3 class="heading">sparc-sun-solaris2*</h3>
|
|
<p>When GCC is configured to use GNU binutils 2.14 or later, the binaries
|
|
produced are smaller than the ones produced using Sun’s native tools;
|
|
this difference is quite significant for binaries containing debugging
|
|
information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Starting with Solaris 7, the operating system is capable of executing
|
|
64-bit SPARC V9 binaries. GCC 3.1 and later properly supports
|
|
this; the <samp>-m64</samp> option enables 64-bit code generation.
|
|
However, if all you want is code tuned for the UltraSPARC CPU, you
|
|
should try the <samp>-mtune=ultrasparc</samp> option instead, which produces
|
|
code that, unlike full 64-bit code, can still run on non-UltraSPARC
|
|
machines.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When configuring the GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP), the MPFR
|
|
library or the MPC library on a Solaris 7 or later system, the canonical
|
|
target triplet must be specified as the <code>build</code> parameter on the
|
|
configure line. This target triplet can be obtained by invoking <code>./config.guess</code> in the toplevel source directory of GCC (and
|
|
not that of GMP or MPFR or MPC). For example on a Solaris 9 system:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">

|
|
<p>There is a bug in older versions of the Sun assembler which breaks

<p>Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports <em>only</em> the

|
|
We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.
|
|
Support for VxWorks AE would also be welcome; we believe this is merely
|
|
a matter of writing an appropriate “configlette” (see below). We are
|
|
not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of
|
|
VxWorks in GCC 3.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in
|
|
<samp><var>$WIND_BASE</var>/host</samp>; we recommend you do not overwrite it.
|
|
Choose an installation <var>prefix</var> entirely outside <var>$WIND_BASE</var>.
|
|
Before running <code>configure</code>, create the directories <samp><var>prefix</var></samp>
|
|
and <samp><var>prefix</var>/bin</samp>. Link or copy the appropriate assembler,
|
|
linker, etc. into <samp><var>prefix</var>/bin</samp>, and set your <var>PATH</var> to
|
|
include that directory while running both <code>configure</code> and
|
|
<code>make</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You must give <code>configure</code> the
|
|
<samp>--with-headers=<var>$WIND_BASE</var>/target/h</samp> switch so that it can
|
|
find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation
|
|
target only, you must also specify <samp>--target=<var>target</var></samp>.
|
|
<code>configure</code> will attempt to create the directory
|
|
<samp><var>prefix</var>/<var>target</var>/sys-include</samp> and copy files into it;
|
|
make sure the user running <code>configure</code> has sufficient privilege
|
|
to do so.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>GCC’s exception handling runtime requires a special “configlette”
|
|
module, <samp>contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c</samp>. Follow the instructions in
|
|
that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of

VxWorks will incorporate this module.)

<p>The Cygwin native compiler can be configured to target any 32-bit x86

cpu architecture desired; the default is i686-pc-cygwin. It should be
|

used with as up-to-date a version of binutils as possible; use either
|
|
the latest official GNU binutils release in the Cygwin distribution,
|
|
or version 2.20 or above if building your own.

<h3 class="heading">Older systems</h3>
|
|
<p>GCC contains support files for many older (1980s and early
|
|
1990s) Unix variants. For the most part, support for these systems
|
|
has not been deliberately removed, but it has not been maintained for
|
|
several years and may suffer from bitrot.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Starting with GCC 3.1, each release has a list of “obsoleted” systems.
|
|
Support for these systems is still present in that release, but
|
|
<code>configure</code> will fail unless the <samp>--enable-obsolete</samp>
|
|
option is given. Unless a maintainer steps forward, support for these
|
|
systems will be removed from the next release of GCC.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Support for old systems as hosts for GCC can cause problems if the
|
|
workarounds for compiler, library and operating system bugs affect the
|
|
cleanliness or maintainability of the rest of GCC. In some cases, to
|
|
bring GCC up on such a system, if still possible with current GCC, may
|
|
require first installing an old version of GCC which did work on that
|
|
system, and using it to compile a more recent GCC, to avoid bugs in the
|
|
vendor compiler. Old releases of GCC 1 and GCC 2 are available in the
|
|
<samp>old-releases</samp> directory on the <a href="../mirrors.html">GCC mirror
|
|
sites</a>. Header bugs may generally be avoided using
|
|
<code>fixincludes</code>, but bugs or deficiencies in libraries and the
|
|
operating system may still cause problems.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Support for older systems as targets for cross-compilation is less
|
|
problematic than support for them as hosts for GCC; if an enthusiast
|
|
wishes to make such a target work again (including resurrecting any of
|
|
the targets that never worked with GCC 2, starting from the last
|
|
version before they were removed), patches
|
|
<a href="../contribute.html">following the usual requirements</a> would be
|
|
likely to be accepted, since they should not affect the support for more
|
|
modern targets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For some systems, old versions of GNU binutils may also be useful,
|
|
and are available from <samp>pub/binutils/old-releases</samp> on
|
|
<a href="https://sourceware.org/mirrors.html">sourceware.org mirror sites</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Some of the information on specific systems above relates to
|
|
such older systems, but much of the information
|
|
about GCC on such systems (which may no longer be applicable to
|
|
current GCC) is to be found in the GCC texinfo manual.
