Sorry for sitting on this message for so long. I realise the patch
has already been approved and applied, but I wanted to check how it
handled the o32 multilib.
I've finally got around to bootstrapping mips64-linux-gnu post-patch,
and although it builds OK, the "o32" multilib is actually built as n32.
I.e. you get two n32 multilibs and one n64 multilib.
As I think you intended, o32 is still the default as far as the gcc.c
multilib code is concerned. The problem is that this default multilib
gets built without an explicit -mabi= flag, and in the absence of the
alternative spec file, there's nothing to stop DRIVER_DEFAULT_ABI_SELF_SPEC
from kicking in. The default multilib therefore gets built with -mabi=n32.
This all raises the question of whether we still need o32 to be the
default multilib. I realise you only did that as a last resort, not
because it was aesthetically beautiful, but I wondered whether later
infrastructure improvements mean that we can now make n32 the true default.
The comment in config.gcc says:
# This default ABI is a partial lie: t-linux64 overrides the
# DRIVER_SELF_SPEC that sets the default abi, in the spec file
# that is installed. What GCC thinks of as the default must
# remain as ABI_32 such that the SONAMEs of the libgcc shared
# libraries remain compatible with those of mips-linux-gnu.
but these days, the SONAMEs of all three libgccs are "libgcc_s.so.1".
Did they used to be different? Or does the comment really mean the
link-time filename (libgcc_s.so, etc.) instead of the SONAME? Making
o32 the default means that gcc links against libgcc_s.so for o32, just
like it does for mips-linux-gnu, so I can see why that would make sense.
Also, was the name of libgcc the only reason for making o32 the
default multilib, or were there others?
If we're just talking about the link-time name of libgcc, then I
suppose one alternative would be to install two links for the o32
library, libgcc_s.so and libgcc_s_<abiname>.so. mips-linux-gnu
could use the former and mips64-linux-gnu the latter. The patch
below does this and makes n32 the true default.
On the other hand, I thought any mips-linux-gnu toolchain ought
really to be linking against its own libgcc, and would do so by
default. So is the link-time name of libgcc really an issue?
It would be nice not to have the link hack if at all possible.
(Even if the mips-linux-gnu libraries are installed in the same place,
the "make install" step for mips-linux-gnu ought to install a suitable
libgcc_s.so link. And there shouldn't be any collision problems because
mips64-linux-gnu only puts the o32 links in lib/. The n32 ones go in
lib32/ and the n64 ones in lib64/.)
The patch also cleans up a couple of other things, probably as a result
of general changes that were made after the configuration was added:
- The configuration sets the default ISA to mips1 in config.gcc
and then uses DRIVER_SELF_SPECS to override it for n32 and n64.
These days, the default default ABI is "from-abi", so neither
the config.gcc nor DRIVER_SELF_SPECS bits are necessary.
Removing them makes debugging a little easier because you
don't have to remember to use a -mips* flag when invoking
cc1 directly.
- extra_parts is already set by the generic *-linux-gnu code.
- the target_cpu_default setting isn't necessary. linux.h already
makes -mabicalls the default and the other masks are automatically
set based on the ABI.
- I always found it confusing that "32" is the name of the multilib
directory for -mabi=n32: it sounds like it should be for -mabi=32.
I'd like to use the -mabi= argument as the name of the directory
instead. (FWIW, this matches what we now do for IRIX.)
Bootstrapped & regression tested on mips64-linux-gnu. Does it
look OK to you? Can I drop the SHLIB_INSTALL bit? (please? ;)
Richard
* config.gcc (mips64*-*-linux*): Set the default abi to n32. Remove
redundant target_cpu_default and extra_parts lines. Use the default
"from-abi" ISA.
* config/mips/linux64.h (DRIVER_DEFAULT_ABI_SELF_SPEC): Delete.
(SUBTARGET_EXTRA_SPECS): Delete.
(DRIVER_SELF_SPECS): Remove architecture lines. Set the ABI directly.
(SUBTARGET_ASM_SPEC): Remove -mabi=n32 and -mabi=64 mappings.
* config/mips/t-linux64 (MULTILIB_DIRNAMES): Use "32" for -mabi=32
and "n32" for -mabi=n32.
(SHLIB_INSTALL): If the link-time name ends in _32.so, create an
equivalent .so link for 32-bit toolchains.
