------- Comment #4 from malitzke at metronets dot com 2006-05-23 00:49 ------- No need to be offensive. At the time I was using the the latest kernel available (something like 2.6.15.x or 16.x) I was still able to compile on that dual G4 MAC glibc, as available from gcc.gnu.org/pub/glibc/snapshots. Now, I cannot even get glibc to compile because the weird way glibc_pic.so is derived from glibc_pic.a because of some discarded...linkonce garbage. (see sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/.../2672) Just casting aspersions on other parts of the GNU community or the user community does not help the cause of _free_/open-source software.
Richard Guenther's remark was helpful and perhaps should given more prominence in the configure documentation for both gcc and binutils regarding openmp. Example: Using built-in specs. Target: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.2.0/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --with-java-home=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/gcc-42 --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-42 --mandir=/usr/share/gcc-42 --program-suffix=-42 --enable-shared --enable-gomp --enable-mudflap --enable-libgfortran --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libgcc-math --disable-checking --disable-multilib --disable-nls --disable-werror --with-gnu-ld --with-mpfr-dir=/src/src/mpfr-2.2.0 --with-mpfr=/usr/lib --with-gmp-dir=/src/src/gmp-4.2 --with-gmp=/usr/lib --with-cpu=7450 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,obj-c++,java --enable-clocale=gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.0 20060521 (experimental) BTW It is gcc that always wants to revert to __powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu__. More descriptive alternatives cause too much hassle. Also, I believe that gcc, binutils and glibc should be considered as one ball of wax and be put under one umbrella. Really, glibc is now part of the C __hosted__ specification. Also Drepper is already part of the g++ sub-empire. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26175
