Full Text Bug Listing

As first reported here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2009-04/msg00292.html

bootstrapping 4.4.0 fails on Solaris 10 x86 if you configure with
--build=i686-pc-solaris2.10

/var/tmp/build-gcc/gcc-4.4.0/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc/32-bit/4.4.0
--enable-languages=c --with-gnu-as
--with-as=/var/tmp/build-gcc/binutils_2.18/bin/as --without-gnu-ld
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-gmp=/var/tmp/build-gcc/stage
--with-mpfr=/var/tmp/build-gcc/stage --with-system-zlib
--build=i686-pc-solaris2.10

/var/tmp/build/stage contains gmp-4.2.3 and mpfr-2.3.1 both built with
--disable-shared, /var/tmp/build-gcc/binutils_2.18 contains (unsurprisingly)
binutils 2.18

As recommended I'm using GNU as and Sun ld, but the build fails with:

The problem seems to be that gcc/configure in 4.4.0 was changed to
unconditionally set gcc_cv_ld_hidden=yes for Solaris targets:

       *-*-solaris2.9* | *-*-solaris2.1[0-9]*)
        gcc_cv_ld_hidden=yes
        ;;

$ grep gcc_cv_.._hidden gcc/config.log
gcc_cv_as_hidden=yes
gcc_cv_ld_hidden=yes

Judging by the failure, this doesn't seem to be correct.

A similar configuration using --build=i686-pc-solaris2.10 with 4.3.2
successfully bootstraps, because gcc/configure sets gcc_cv_ld_hidden=no

$ /usr/ccs/bin/ld -V
ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.10-1.487
$ uname -a
SunOS xxx 5.10 Generic_127112-03 i86pc i386 i86pc

Is building for i686-pc-solaris2.10 no longer supported, is my linker too old,
or is gcc/configure making incorrect assumptions?

I've just confirmed the bug on i686-pc-solaris2.10.  It doesn't occur on
i686-pc-solaris2.11, though, so this is indeed a Sun ld bug.

I've got a few questions to resolve, though:

* Why does generating code for i686 instead of i386 change gcc's assembler
output
  so significantly?

* Is it possible to get the relevant CRs backported to Solaris 10 (or are fixes
  already included in recent linker/kernel patches)?

* How to handle this in gcc/configure.ac?  I'd like to avoid completely
  disabling hidden support on Solaris 10 (and even early versions of Solaris 11
  before the linker bug got fixed).

That's what I saw already when comparing crtbegin.s for i386 and i686.
What I still don't understand is why the code is different between those
two.

Look for DEEP_BRANCH_PREDICTION in config/i386/*.  On i386/i486/i586 doing
call 1f; 1:
is just fine, but on several newer CPUs it confuses return prediction logic
(more calls than rets), so when optimizing for those CPUs gcc calls a separate
pad which just reads the return address from the stack and immediately returns.
This pad can be shared among all functions within the same binary or shared
library.  If hidden linkonce doesn't work on some Solaris version, you should
just make sure USE_HIDDEN_LINKONCE is 0 for that target.

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Indeed: that far easier than determining which version of Sun ld has all
the necessary support.
