Description Hin-Tak Leung 2009-07-28 18:36:47 UTC

make bootstrap4-lean failed with 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 with crtfastmath.o comparison. The last gcc version I can make bootstrap4-lean was 4.3.3 (and before that, 4.3.1) which was what I tried building 4.4.x with.

Strangely "make" (which I understand do a 3 stage boostrap) doesn't have this problem, but fails further down with path length problems (
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38251#c8 ).

--------------------

I also 'diff gcc-crtfastmath-dump gcc-4.3.3-crtfastmath-dump' - while I don't understand alpha assembler at all, the diff against with gcc 4.3.3 is mostly versioning, and gcc 4.3.3. also have call_pal	0x31. So it appears that bootstrap4-lean miscompile at the last stage? (i.e. prev-gcc/crtfastmath.o was correct, gcc/crtfastmath.o was wrong).

Anybody can suggest how to take this forward? I am currently on 4.3.3, but am keen to heep the alpha port of gcc alive for as long as is feasible...

Comment 1 Joseph S. Myers 2009-07-29 23:08:48 UTC

There is no indication in this bug report of whether the issue also
appears for 4.5.  If it does, please update the regression marker to
"4.4/4.5 Regression".

I downloaded and tried the gcc-4.5-20090723 snapshot tar ball with make bootstrap-lean - it finished the building and comparison of the C compiler but failed later in libstdc++-v3 . I hope this get fixed by 4.4.2 if there is one. Meanwhile I'll check and possibly file the libstdc++-v3 issue.

Comment 3 Hin-Tak Leung 2009-07-30 13:01:16 UTC

FYI, the libstdc++v3 issue with gcc 4.5 is filed as bug 40912 . So gcc 4.4/4.5 support are both a bit broken, just differently.

Comment 5 Hin-Tak Leung 2009-09-25 04:40:02 UTC

latest run was with svn-r152154 . also filed new bug 41465 , I just noticed I wrote 'bootstrap-lean' in comment 2 instead of 'bootstrap4-lean' - it is probably not important in light of the new bug and more extensive failures.

Comment 6 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-07-14 14:25:22 UTC

4.3.5 also bootstrap4-lean alright (hit bug 40947 later with libjava).

Comment 7 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-07-14 14:44:41 UTC

4.4.4 (built with 4.3.3) fails at stage 3 and 4 comparison.

Comment 10 Hin-Tak Leung 2011-05-01 22:30:55 UTC

Could this be some kind of text<->num conversion bug? I can't help but thinking 0x31 is '1' in ascii character, which is 0x01 in value.

Comment 11 Hin-Tak Leung 2011-08-05 01:26:32 UTC

Tried 4.6.1:

CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash /home/htl10/tmp-build/gcc-4.6.1/configure && CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/make bootstrap4-lean

and it worked.

Comment 12 Hin-Tak Leung 2011-08-05 05:43:18 UTC

4.6.1 worked. 4.5.x fails earlier with Bug 44959 .

Comment 13 Hin-Tak Leung 2012-09-10 16:07:49 UTC

re-testing due to doubts about http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44959#c30 - caveat STAGE2_CFLAGS, bootstrap4-lean goes beyond crtfastmath.o comparision for 4.7.1 , fails for 4.4.7, okay for 4.3.3 (fails later for libjava bug 40947) and okay for 4.6.1.

Comment 14 Hin-Tak Leung 2012-09-10 16:16:21 UTC

4.3.6 also okay.
