I wrote to the Debian maintainer asking how we could avoid using the builtin binutils copy; he seems to be upstream for gcl as well. -- gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For Maverick and present release timelines, certainly disabling thumb2 is a valid temporary solution. But yes, we need to resolve this long term. I very much hate the idea of having a separate local fork of binutils inside a package as well. -- gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 636977] Re: gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency
I did a little investigation of this issue on Friday. I'm not too familiar with gcl: it looks like it compiles via C, and the only architecture-dependent parts are in a fork of binutils internal to the gcl source tree. Unfortunately gcl seems to be in a dormant state at present: the last news on the website (http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/) dates from 2005. Also the version of binutils used appears to date from around the same time period, going by the ChangeLogs. Using a version of binutils that old isn't a great idea for Thumb-2 for various reasons: many bugs have been fixed since then, and e.g. the older version of binutils won't have the Cortex-A8 erratum workaround implemented in the linker, which may lead to problems sooner or later. I'm not sure what it takes to update the binutils used by gcl to a modern version: that might be the easiest fix (it's then kind of a packaging issue, I guess), assuming the gcl version of binutils doesn't have significant local changes (otherwise cherry-picking and backporting changes would be necessary). It seems suboptimal to maintain a fork of binutils like this though: if at all feasible, it seems like it'd be better to use the "normal" version of binutils supplied with the distro. That might entail pushing local GCL changes -- if there are any -- upstream. -- gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This was not my preferred fix, but what I ended up doing for armel for this, and no worse than what was done for hdf5.

[Bug 636977] Re: gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency
After resolving the linker issue I found other issues in the build. In the end, the only way I have been able to get this to build was by disabling thumb2, much like was done for hdf5. I did not like this answer, but I am attaching a patch/debdiff for doing this on armel so we can move forward. ** Patch added: "gcl.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcl/+bug/636977/+attachment/1597148/+files/gcl.debdiff ** Changed in: gcl (Ubuntu) Assignee: David Sugar (dyfet) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: gcl (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => New -- gcl currently not built on armel, needed as a build-dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
