Binutils builds broken with -Werror

Binutils builds broken with -Werror

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

We need to either disable -Werror for generated files, or accomodate
different versions of flex/bison more flexibly.  I recommend the former...

*sigh*  Yes you are right.   What do you think of the following patch ? 
  It works for me, but my makefile-fu is not the greatest so there might 
be a better way of expressing what we want.

This patch is for the binutils subdirectory.  I have a similar patch for 
the ld subdirectory and a simpler one for the gas subdirectory as that 
only has one generated source file.  If there are no objections to this 
method then I will apply the patches tomorrow.

Cheers

I don't think you should hard-code -Wno-error like this.  Isn't binutils
supposed to buildable with non-gcc compilers?  (And it does build with
MIPSpro FWIW, or at least it did recently.)

Poo.  Well we can rely upon using a GNU-like make program, right ?  So 
how about this version then ?

That's an interesting question.  gcc has decided to require GNU make.
Do the binutils want to follow?

I have no strong opinion on the matter.  GNU make Makefiles can get
pretty horrible pretty fast, but that should be controllable in
principle.

Hmm, well I am not wedded to GNU make, but do other versions of make 
support the $(subst FROM,TO,TEXT) function ?  If not then can anyone 
suggest a more portable way of achieving the same effect ?

 Well, since that -Werror is added by configure scripts in the first 
place, the most reasonable way of dealing with it is probably letting 
autoconf/automake do their jobs.  This flag could be substituted 
separately instead of along other flags in WARN_CFLAGS and then omitted 
selectively for generated files -- automake permits overriding default 
compilation flags in templates on a file by file basis.

Does it? I thought that only worked on a per-library basis.

No, you can override on a per-file basis using something like
    foo_c_CFLAGS =

 Prompted by Paul's notice I've checked automake documentation and done 
some testing and he is indeed right.  But there's a working solution 
actually suggested in automake info pages by using an auxiliary archive 
library as detailed in the "Per-Object Flags Emulation" chapter there.

Would you care to submit a patch based on this feature ?

 I've run out of time for now, but I'm working on it.  I should have it 
ready after this weekend.

  Hmm.  Won't this:

NO_WERROR_COMPILE = $(COMPILE:Werror=Wno-error)

do the desired trick?

Yes it will.  But is this construct also GNU Make specific ?

It's POSIX.

Cool - in which case I guess we have to choose between this fix and a 
patch to the configure files.  I prefer patching Makefile.am since I 
have always had difficulty getting configure files to work.

Any objections to this patch then ?

Re: Binutils builds broken with -Werror

Hi Guys,

  Jim's patch to prevent building the elf32-ia64.lo object file when
  producing a 32-bit BFD library missed one place - the
  _bfd_target_vector in bfd/targets.c.  So I am checking in the patch
  below to fix this.  Tested with a toolchain configured as
  "--enable-targets=all" but not with "--enable-64-bit-bfd".

Cheers
