Regarding gcc testsuite

[Manpreet Singh]

Hi,
    You are right its 32-bit assembler. I tried these 2 ways to configure

Way 1
My configuration:-
In my pc latest version of gcc-4.8 is install and i want to configure
and run gcc testsuite for gcc-4.4.5
Ubuntu 14.04
Host    =   x86_64-linux-gnu
Build   =   x86_64-linux-gnu
Target  =   powerpc-linux-gnu

These are the steps which i performed to run testsuite
 I am trying to run configure with this script

a)  sourcedir.../gcc-4.4.5/configure  --prefix=/tmp/gcc-4.4.5
--enable-languages=c,c++ --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=powerpc-linux-gnu
--enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-long-long


b)  And then to build gcc :-
make all-gcc

c)  To run the testsuite :-  builddir.../gcc-4.4.5/gcc
make check (in build dir)

This is the failure when i configured gcc-4.4.5 with above script
Failure is
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20000105-1.c  -O0  (test for excess errors)
Excess errors:
/build_dir.../gcc-4.4/new_build/gcc/as: 76: exec: : Permission denied
same failure many thousand times.

Way 2

a)  I used already built assembler  i.e. i already mentioned above is
32 bit assembler
 sourcedir.../gcc-4.4.5/configure --prefix=/tmp/gcc-4.4.5
--with-as=/path/to/..../bin/ppc_oea-as
--with-ld=/path/to/..../bin/ppc_oea-ld --enable-languages=c,c++
--disable-bootstrap --disable-libgomp --disable-libstdcxx-pch
--with-ranlib=/path/to/..../bin/ppc_oea-ranlib


b)  And then to build gcc :-
make all-gcc

c)  To run the testsuite :-  builddir.../gcc-4.4.5/gcc
make check(in build dir)


And this the failure when i configured with way 2

/tmp/cc7EMVR7.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc7EMVR7.s:8: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `pushq'
/tmp/cc7EMVR7.s:10: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `movq'
/tmp/cc7EMVR7.s:13: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `subq'
same failure many thousand times.

Thanks & regards
