[Bug other/29049] New: possible problem: building gcc = 4.2 on i686 GNU/Linux|SMP (non-64bit) platform fails
: apparently it does in fact assume a 64 bit
platform (or rather the -m64 flag) by default, that is when I try to directly
execute it from within the build tree via ./cc1, I get the same error message,
i.e.:
echo int main() {return 0;} | ./cc1 -o weirdo
However, running ./cc1 -m32 will happily run normally without any errors, for
example:
echo int main() {return 0;} | ./cc1 -o weirdo -m32
While the first line would result in a basically empty plain text assembly
file, the second line correctly contains:
.file
.text
.globl main
.type main, @function
main:
leal4(%esp), %ecx
andl$-16, %esp
pushl -4(%ecx)
pushl %ebp
movl%esp, %ebp
pushl %ecx
movl$0, %eax
popl%ecx
popl%ebp
leal-4(%ecx), %esp
ret
.size main, .-main
.ident GCC: (GNU) 4.2.0 20060906 (experimental)
.section.note.GNU-stack,,@progbits
Nonetheless, the -m32 flag doesn't appear to be retained when passing the
command line over from xgcc to cc1 during the make process itself (when cc1 is
run via xgcc), as cc1 then yields the same error message regardless of whether
the flag was specified or not (even though, as I mentioned already, it did in
fact appear as if in some situations the position of the -m32 flag within the
parameter list did somehow matter).
I would really appreciate it if other people with access to an i686/SMP,
Linux/GNU platform could attempt to verify whether they can reproduce this
problem or not, so that I can hopefully start to isolate the underlying issue,
in particular I would like to know whether this can be generally cured from the
gcc side of things, or if this may in fac be related to version conflicts in
the underlying GNU toolchain.
Please feel free to ask for additional information if required, I'll be happy
to provide whatever information is needed to troubleshoot this issue, if
required we could also arrange shell access. Likewise, I'd be more than happy
to validate any patches you may come up with.
Thanks!
Mike
PS: I'm going to attach detailed log files once this issue has been filed.

--- Comment #15 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 00:36 --- No it does not. Well, as I said: it's just an assumption-for the lack of a better explanation right now. Are you sure you don't have some bad hardware? well, define bad hardware-the system works without any problems whatsoever, no crashes, no performance issues, no nothing. In fact, it does compile other software without any problems, too-it even compiled gcc 4.01. So, I have really no reason to believe that this is due to some sort of hardware issue. Neither do I believe this to be some sort of gcc-internal bug. Rather, I have come to believe that somewhere along the build process (for whatever reason), gcc 4.2 is made believe that it should assume 64bit as default target platform. Otherwise, I'm really not sure why it would create an cc1 executable that terminates immediatley with the aforementioned error, when it's started without the -m32 flag. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29049

--- Comment #16 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 00:44 --- Also, with regards to bad hardware: this is a multiprocessor server system that's in use every day, it's got numerous inbuilt hardware failure-detection mechanisms, so as soon as there's a CPU, memory or hard disk problem, the admin (me) gets notified immediatley. And there are clearly not any warnings at all. So, given all these self-tests (that even take almost ~5 minutes before the actual system really boots up) I should actually be able to be reasonably sure that this is no hardware problem at all. You said you were able to build it on i686-linux-gnu, was this also an SMP machine? I am really more than willing to take into consideration that this is a local (software) problem (i.e. due to parts of the GNU toolchain being outdated or whatever), nonetheless the previously mentioned google findings suggest that it isn't a totally isolated issue at all. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29049

The problem I encountered seems CURRENTLY specific to i686/SMP, at least this is where it's sort of documented that what I experienced here, happened before (see: http://www.gatago.com/gnu/gcc/help/24669804.html ) Also, trying a compilation of a fresh source tree using: export mytarget=i686-pc-linux-gnu ./configure --target=$mytarget --build=$mytarget --host=$mytarget did result in the same error, at the same point. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29049
[Bug other/29049] possible problem: building gcc = 4.2 on i686 GNU/Linux|SMP (non-64bit) platform fails
--- Comment #24 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 03:24 --- weird enough, when configuring target/host/build all set to i586-pc-linux-gnu, the whole make process still cancels at the same point, even though the 64 bit stuff should theoretically not even be touched at all(?). thus, I currently assume that this is somehow related to undocumented/unchecked prerequisites/dependencies not being checked properly-so that gcc is attempted to built even though a dependency isn't satisfied, is there anywhere a list of minimum requirements for building gcc 4.2, so that I can check whether (and what) I should update if necessary? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29049

--- Comment #25 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 05:02 --- Just for your info: I just tried to compile the two previous official releases on the same machine to troubleshoot this issue further (using no configure/make flags WHATSOEVER, building in a separate build directory in both cases): gcc 4.0.3 (347231730fb44b609b69226c3e432d80 gcc-core-4.0.3.tar.bz2) and gcc 4.1.0 (15efa164579c7cf4a48859ee87d2a1fa gcc-core-4.1.0.tar.bz2) (both obtained from gcc mirrors) While I did succeed compiling gcc 4.0.3 on the same machine (after however applying the patch mentioned in bug 27023 due to a too recent GNU make version), compiling gcc 4.1.0 DID indeed cancel at the same point as the two later releases did: /root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/./gcc/xgcc -B/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -O2 -O2 -g -O2 -DIN_GCC-W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/. -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/../include -I../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/../libcpp/include -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time -fno-omit-frame-pointer \ -c ../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \ -o crtbegin.o ../../gcc-4.1.0/gcc/crtstuff.c:1: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make[2]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD/gcc' make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc-4.1.0-BUILD' make: *** [all] Error 2 So, the cause for this really seems to have crept in somewhere in between 4.0.3 and 4.1.0, thus I ask anybody in the know: were there any additional dependencies (or default assumptions) introduced in either the underlying build system or alternatively the xgcc/cc1 files during that time line that could explain the behaviour I'm seeing here?
