Subject: Re: Add hppa*64* support to libtool in binutils
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 04:17:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OFA15CDC33.853DE7E3-ON80256C05.0038EA84@uk.neceur.com> (raw)


David,

I'm currently looking at revising libtool-1.4e to add HPUX64 support.  I've
got a
couple of questions.

1) Should the mode be determined from $cpu_host or by checking __LP64__
in the cc defines.  Given that the config.guess returns
hppa2.0w-hp-hpux??.??
and we assume that is 32bit then do we assume the user knows what they
are doing and assume they only want 64bit when the target is hpux64.
Should
libtool check that they match correctly.

I'll use the values you used in your patch.  I assume these are pretty much
the default values for ELF environments.  Any hints would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Ross
