[Bug bootstrap/33781] [4.3/4.4/4.5 Regression] "Arg list too long" building libgcc.a

["PHHargrove at lbl dot gov" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #25 from PHHargrove at lbl dot gov  2009-04-07 20:39 -------
Has any progress been made on this bug?
I have hit this problem with gcc-4.3.2 on IRIX with both --disable-fixed-point
and --disable-decimal-float.  Since this bug is open with a milestone of 4.3.4
I figured a switch to 4.3.3 was not likely to be productive.

However, I thought I would share the fact that I was able to make a little bit
of progress beyond what is described in the bug report.

The comment #21 from Ralf Wildenhues suggests he was about to fix the rule for
libgcc.map, but nothing appears about such a fix in the bug report.  So, on my
own I was able to hack up the libgcc.map rule (in a way not suitable for
general use) to get past the failure described in comment #20.

Once past building libgcc.map, however, I find that the rule to build
libgcc_s.so is again hitting ARG_MAX, this time in the "xgcc ... -shared"
command to build the .so.  I gave up at that point, being uncertain how to
automate the incremental construction of a .so (other than by using libtool).
