Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-3.3 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream patch sid User: debian-powerpc...@breakpoint.cc Usertags: powerpcspe
Hi, coreutils currently fails to build from source on powerpcspe[1] like this: [...] CC src/factor.o /tmp/ccWZ35me.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:615: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:624: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:700: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:709: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:776: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' /tmp/ccWZ35me.s:795: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mulhdu' [...] This is due to src/factor.c defining USE_LONGLONG_H (ifndef, but this seems to be the case always), and therefore "# define W_TYPE_SIZE 64" which leads to src/longlong.h branching to 64-bit PowerPC code, including the above 64-bit-only asm. Please note that this issue also applies to "normal" powerpc (32-bit), but there, the build only fails in the tests because the assembler accepts mulhdu (without powerpc being able to execute it properly). Attaching a patch that fixes this. Please also consider widen this to "normal" powerpc where __NO_FPRS__ isn't defined (on powerpcspe only).
