Hello Yann,

I did not get a CC on your reply but saw it in the mail archive.  Hopefully
this gets threaded correctly...

The Linux kernel was getting compiled correctly with the CodeSourcery
toolchain so we can probably trust it.  I have been using that toolchain
for a number of months to build my kernel.  I only ran into a problem with
Buildroot when I tried rebuilding my filesystem a couple of weeks ago.

I have manually compiled a static test "init" program for my filesystem and
it ran without issues.  I think the only problem with the CodeSourcery
toolchain is that Buildroot does not understand how to handle the multilib
aspect of it.

I'm hoping that a sysroot toolchain that only supports "my" architecture
will work better with Buildroot.

Well at least I did that right. ;-)

I tried executing the command line that fails from the build.log directly.

bigguiness@etch:~/src/tmp$ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc co -P -r glibc-2_6-branch linuxthreads
cvs checkout: CVS password file /home/bigguiness/.cvspass does not exist - creating a new file
cvs checkout: Updating linuxthreads
[--SNIP more cvs checkout lines--]
cvs checkout: Updating linuxthreads/linuxthreads_db
bigguiness@etch:~/src/tmp$ ls
bigguiness@etch:~/src/tmp$

It appears that the checkout is not working correctly.

My .config follows at the end of this message.

I set those options.  I used arm920t instead of ep9312 but I believe
ep9312 is just an alias.

BTW, EABI does work on the armv4t.  My kernel is compiled with it and
works with no problems.

I don't need java so that's not a problem.  I already have it disabled in
The options.

Don't do that! :) Mainline GCC's code generation for Maverick is
completely broken, glibc needs patches, binutils barfs on some GCC
output for C++, and the FPU itself is full of hardware timing bugs
that GCC fails miserably to work around.
I have a set of working GCC patches for C, and OE have collected the
glibc and binutils patches but I've never heard of anyone getting a
fully working rootfs yet.

EABI requires armv4t. The only thing v5t has at an ISA level is an
extra instruction, count leading zeros, which is used in glibc's asm
division routine ifdef armv5t. armv4t would have been a better GCC
default.
I think we can safely ditch OABI these days, unless you have an armv4
(the StrongARM) or armv3. It has no technical advantages, and most
programs that had bugs needing fixing have now been fixed. There are a
few stragglers: gnat ADA, clisp common lisp, fpc free pascal compiler
and any version of GCC <4.1.0

> I used arm920t instead of ep9312 but I believe

for arm920t, yes. It also passes "armv4t+maverick" to the assembler so
that maverick insns are not rejected by the assembler. (cpu=arm920t
fpu=maverick makes the assembler barf. Yes, this is a mess!)

OK.  I removed the "maverick" setting and set the Floating point to
software.

I agree.  Would have made my life easier with the CodeSourcery toolchain. ;-)

So with "arm920t" does the assembler work ok for the ep93xx or should it
be "ep9312"?

What should my target options be for the ep93xx?  Right now I have:

CT_ARCH="arm"
CT_ARCH_SUPPORTS_BOTH_ENDIAN=y
CT_ARCH_SUPPORT_ARCH=y
CT_ARCH_SUPPORT_CPU=y
CT_ARCH_SUPPORT_TUNE=y
CT_ARCH_SUPPORT_FPU=y
CT_ARCH_DEFAULT_LE=y
CT_ARCH_ARCH="armv4t"
CT_ARCH_CPU="arm920t"
CT_ARCH_TUNE="arm920t"
CT_ARCH_FPU=""
CT_ARCH_LE=y
CT_ARCH_FLOAT_SW=y
CT_TARGET_CFLAGS=""
CT_TARGET_LDFLAGS=""

Thanks for any help!

Hartley

Hi,
would it be possible to provide links to these patch sets so that they 
could be included in ct-ng?

IIRC you recommend 4.2.2 rather than 4.3.x , is that correct?

regards.

Yes, arm920t is fine. Just pretend the maverick isn't there. :)
You only need ep9312 if you include maverick assembler fragments or
are using my fixed GCCs for Maverick
http://martinwguy.co.uk/martin/crunch
I got back to "no known bugs" in this stuff again three days ago, so
if you have FP-intensive stuff to run it might be worth trying.

Thanks for that link , and all your efforts to knock some sensible ARM 
code out of GCC . Kudos.

I see you're posting patch sets for 4.2 and 4.3. I recall you said 
somewhere that 4.2.x produced faster ARM code. Is that still your 
experience?

best regards, Peter.

THere's some extra measurements I didn't post there: using differen
GCCs to compile gcc-4.3.4, and measuring the size of the different
GCCs themselves and the size of the object code they generate and the
maximum memory they use to do it (compiling insn_recog.c as a rule):

        --the compiler itself-- --on gcc-4.3.2 stage1--
Version  gcc     cc1     cc1    Elapsed Max VM  xgcc
         text    text    data   time    used    text
gcc-3.4  79579  3862155   3236  4m30    104128  209509
gcc-4.0  86429  4579965  10208  4m44    111104  225846
gcc-4.1 193369  5115620  15976  4m56    123264  226469
gcc-4.2 188582  5490547  17364  4m50    112128  221171
gcc-4.3 203918* 7010746 420820  6m41    157440  227755
gcc-4.4 202989* 9431805 546128  8m21    170550  249260
llvm4.2 189365                  4m56     67136  236957

so 4.2 shows an unexpected dip in its own size, its memory use, the
time it takes to run and the size of its output code.
(Maybe it was just gathering its strength for the exponential growth
from 4.3 onwards :)

Did you compile exact same insn_recog.c source ?
if not then you are comparing apples to pineapples.

I built the same source tree gcc-4.3.2 (4.3.4 above was a typo) with
the same configuration line and CC=gcc-X.Y on x86.

What I've called "Max VM" here is obtained from the process accounting
records for the build run on an otherwise silent machine
It is the maximum value of the per-process "average VM usage", not the
high-water mark you see by watching "top" (216MB for 4.3). I can't
think of an easy way to measure the HWM.
You need a custom program to extract the top avg VM usage.
I used "lc" whose source is visible under
martinwguy.co.uk/martin/src/acct
lc | cut -c 52- | sed 's/ .*//' | sort -rn | head -1

    M

(BTW this is off topic for crossgcc any more)

Yes, EABI wants nptl, at least that's the only thread model I remember
working in 2006.  Maybe this knowledge could be taught to ct-ng?

My .config was very similar.  The only real difference is:

CT_THREADS="nptl"
CT_THREADS_NPTL=y

I had:

CT_THREADS="linuxthreads"
CT_THREADS_LINUXTHREADS=y

I'm trying the build now using nptl instead of linuxthreads.  So far it looks
good.  It appears something is wrong with the linuxthreads support.

Hi Martin,

This is really a question for the ltib mailing list, or perhaps the ltib
FAQ may help?  http://www.ltib.org/documentation-LtibFaq

I only suggested this as a possible alternative to solve Hartley's
problem using the CodeSourcery multilib toolchain and not get into a
discussion about the relative merits of builder tools,

Best regards,

Steve

I have made an eabi toolchain for TS boards based on the Cyrus chip

You could try this .config as a basis.

Hmm. Interesting, but it's a bit worrying that without asking you it
silently tries to use your sudo settings to install new packages as
soon as you run it. What else does it silently do to your system as

Hi Hartley,

Not sure if it's any help but ltib (http://www.ltib.org) works with
multilib toolchains (including CodeSourcery's), and there is a BSP for
the EP93xx.

As far as I know this particular BSP only has a generic arm uClibc
toolchain available for selection, but if you use the custom toolchain
facility you may be able to get the BSP to build using the CodeSourcery
toolchain,

Best regards,

Steve

nope, i use EABI with arm4vt CPUs (ep93xx). some time i ran into the
same issue as hartley, and martin guy kindly provided a solution:

If we can trust the Linux kernel, then the EP93xx is an arm920t, which
is an armv4, not an armv5t. Which can explain why you have an illegal
instruction...

Correct. :-)

I don't download everything every time, so it may well be that something
broke at some point. Care to send your .config, so I can try to reproduce?

There's no armv4t sample in crosstool-NG.
But you could base your configuration on the arm-unknown-linux-uclibc
sample, and update the configuration to something like:
  Target options -->
    (armv4t) Architecture level
    ()  Generate code for the specific ABI
    (ep9312) Emit assembly for CPU
    (ep9312) Tune for CPU
    (maverick) Use specific FPU
    Floating point: ---> hardware (FPU)

NB: do not enable EABI, I think it requires at least armv5t, but I'm
    not sure. So stay on the safe side, and stick with OABI.

I give no guarantee, as I don't have the HW, but you should give it a
try. Also, java is currently broken, so you should disable it in the
"C compiler" sub-menu...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

crosstool-ng: cross compiler for -mach=arm4vt (Cirrus Logic EP93xx target)

[H Hartley Sweeten]

Hello all,

I have been trying to get CodeSourcery's arm-none-linux-gnueabi (Sourcery
G++ Lite 2009q1-203) 4.3.3 toolchain to work with Buildroot and an EP93xx
based target.  Unfortunately Buildroot is not setup to handle the multilib
feature of that toolchain (default libraries are for ARMv5T).  I have
tried a number of ways in Buildroot to get that that toolchain to work but
my resulting filesystem always dies due to an unrecognized instruction.

Today I downloaded crosstool-ng to try and build a sysroot toolchain
specifically for the armv4t.  I think I have everything setup correctly
but the build always dies at:

bigguiness@etch:~/toolchain$ ct-ng build
[INFO ]  Performing some trivial sanity checks
[INFO ]  Build started 20090908.131159
[INFO ]  Building environment variables
[WARN ]  You did not specify the build system. That's OK, I can guess...
[INFO ]  =================================================================

[09:42] / make: *** [build] Error 1
bigguiness@etch:~/toolchain$ 

I followed the Download and usage instructions on the website:

bigguiness@etch:~/src$ hg clone http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/crosstool-ng
bigguiness@etch:~/src$ cd crosstool-ng
bigguiness@etch:~/src/crosstool-ng$ ./configure --prefix=/home/bigguiness
bigguiness@etch:~/src/crosstool-ng$ make
bigguiness@etch:~/src/crosstool-ng$ export PATH="${PATH}:/home/bigguiness/bin"
bigguiness@etch:~/src/crosstool-ng$ cd /home/bigguiness/toolchain
bigguiness@etch:~/toolchain$ ct-ng help
bigguiness@etch:~/toolchain$ ct-ng menuconfig
bigguiness@etch:~/toolchain$ ct-ng build

I think I have everything setup and configured correctly but I can't figure
out why the build is failing.  From the build.log it appears that linuxthreads
is getting checked out but when the build tries to mv it the files do not exist:

[ALL  ]    cvs checkout: Updating linuxthreads/linuxthreads_db
[DEBUG]    ==> Executing: 'mv linuxthreads glibc-linuxthreads-cvs-2.7'
[ALL  ]    mv: cannot stat `linuxthreads': No such file or directory
[ERROR]    Build failed in step 'Retrieving needed toolchain components' tarballs'

Do I have something configured incorrectly or am I doing something wrong?
Is there a "magic" combination of the Binutils/C compiler/C-library version
that must be used?

Thanks for any reply,
Hartley Sweeten
