I may be mistaken about the source of the issue being glibc.
Perhaps it is a system include file issue? Here are some
more details.
Here are some of the error messages I got when building with
__LIBGCC_KF_MAX__ of gcc135.fsffrance.org using the installed
gcc (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC))
- - - - - -
../../../libgcc/config/rs6000/_divkc3.c: In function ‘__divkc3’:
../../../libgcc/config/rs6000/_divkc3.c:41:17: error:
‘__LIBGCC_KF_MAX__’ undeclared (first use in this function)
41 | #define RBIG (__LIBGCC_KF_MAX__ / 2)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../../libgcc/config/rs6000/_divkc3.c:68:23: note: in expansion of
macro ‘RBIG’
68 | if (FABS (d) >= RBIG)
| ^~~~
... repeated for ‘__LIBGCC_KF_EPSILON__ and __LIBGCC_KF_MIN__
- - - - - -
__LIBGCC_KF_MAX__ should have been defined in the file
gcc/c-family/c-cppbuiltin.c
in the loop starting at line 1274:
/* Properties of floating-point modes for libgcc2.c. */
opt_scalar_float_mode mode_iter;
FOR_EACH_MODE_IN_CLASS (mode_iter, MODE_FLOAT)
{
scalar_float_mode mode = mode_iter.require ();
...
My guess is that however the modes are defined for a given
platform/compile option
combination, KF is not available with this particular compiler/glibc
combination.
I did some digging in the latest sources and could not find a specific file
which defined KF, TF, IF, etc. I assume it exists and I just did not
look in the
right places.
I did try setting my path to pick up a current upstream gcc
(PATH=~/usr/bin:$PATH; export PATH).
It did not make a significant difference in the error message.
In any case, it is moot since Joseph Myers stated that I should not
include the
"if compiling for ibm doubledouble" code in _divkc3.c because _divkc3.c
is only
used for ieee128 code. Since he is the one who guided me in my changes
to c-cppbuiltin.c,
I assume he knows more than I on this topic.
