Bug #: 53579 Summary: libstdc++ configure atomicity tests use CXXFLAGS instead of CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: olege...@gcc.gnu.org When trying to fix PR 29366 by removing config/cpu/sh/atomicity.h I've noticed that libstdc++'s configure would refuse to pick up config/cpu/generic/atomicity_builtins. On the SH target atomicity builtins have to be enabled by either -msoft-atomic or -mhard-atomic. For sh-linux -msoft-atomic is enabled by default. When building a cross toolchain (top level make) CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET / CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET can be used to enable the atomicity builtins. However, libstdc++ configure uses CXXFLAGS when testing for atomicity builtins availability, so it will default to using config/cpu/generic/atomicity_mutex. I'm not quite sure where the fix should go, either in the top level configure/makefile (which fails to set CXXFLAGS to CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET for libstdc++ configure) or libstdc++ itself, because when libstdc++ is actually compiled CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET is passed to xgcc as expected.
