Bug ID: 89494 Summary: Bootstrap error when using GCC 4.2.1 Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pkubaj at anongoth dot pl Target Milestone: --- I use FreeBSD on powerpc64 architecture, which has GCC 4.2.1 as a system compiler. It does support C++98 which, according to https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html is enough to bootstrap GCC. I can compile GCC 6.5 at most. GCC 7 and newer are broken. FreeBSD ports tree has a work around for that to use newer GCC release from FreeBSD's ports, but it means that to compile GCC 7 or newer, we need to compile 5 or 6. Building GCC 9 fails with: /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc9-devel/work/.build/./gcc/xgcc -B/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc9-devel/work/.build/./gcc/ -xc -nostdinc /dev/null -S -o /dev/null -fself-test=/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/g cc9-devel/work/gcc-9-20190217/gcc/testsuite/selftests cc1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault no stack trace because unwind library not available Building GCC 7 is more verbose: /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/.build/./gcc/xgcc -B/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/.build/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/powerpc64-portbld-freebsd12.0/bin/ -B/usr/local/powerpc64-portbld-freebsd12.0/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/powerpc64-portbld-freebsd12.0/include -isystem /usr/local/powerpc64-portbld-freebsd12.0/sys-include -g -O2 -pipe -DLIBICONV_PLUG -fno-strict-aliasing -m32 -fPIC -mstrict-align -O2 -g -O2 -pipe -DLIBICONV_PLUG -fno-strict-aliasing -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wno-format -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -fPIC -pthread -mno-minimal-toc -g -DIN_LIBGCC2 -fbuilding-libgcc -fno-stack-protector -fPIC -pthread -mno-minimal-toc -I. -I. -I../../.././gcc -I/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc -I/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/. -I/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/../gcc -I/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/../include -DHAVE_CC_TLS -o _muldi3.o -MT _muldi3.o -MD -MP -MF _muldi3.dep -DL_muldi3 -c /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.c -fvisibility=hidden -DHIDE_EXPORTS In file included from /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.c:56:0: /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.c: In function '__muldi3': /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.h:219:20: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault #define __NDW(a,b) __ ## a ## di ## b ^ /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.h:273:18: note: in expansion of macro '__NDW' #define __muldi3 __NDW(mul,3) ^~~~~ /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/lang/gcc7/work/gcc-7.4.0/libgcc/libgcc2.c:548:1: note: in expansion of macro '__muldi3' __muldi3 (DWtype u, DWtype v) ^~~~~~~~ no stack trace because unwind library not available Obviously, I'm not asking to fix GCC 4.2.1, but to make a workaround for newer releases
