From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Joel Sherrill To: gas2@cygnus.com Subject: more on powerpc-rtems ar failure Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1998 13:26:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 1998/msg00141.html Thanks for the earlier fix. This problem is another -mlittle one. Here is a test case: ------------------ assembly file used to duplicate this ----- .file "j.s" .section ".text" .align 2 .globl f f: blr ----------------------- end of file ../gas/as-new -mlittle -o j.o j.s ../binutils/ar rc j.a j.o ../binutils/ar rc j.a j.o ../binutils/ar: j.a: Invalid operation Tracing in gdb, it looks like the format of the file is not automatically recognized: Breakpoint 4, main (argc=4, argv=0xbffff9dc) at ../../src/binutils/ar.c:555 555 arch = open_inarch (inarch_filename, (gdb) s open_inarch (archive_filename=0xbffffaf8 "j.a", file=0xbffffafc "j.o") at ../../src/binutils/ar.c:614 614 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_no_error); (gdb) n 616 target = NULL; (gdb) 618 if (stat (archive_filename, &sbuf) != 0) (gdb) 661 arch = bfd_openr (archive_filename, target); (gdb) 662 if (arch == NULL) (gdb) 668 if (! bfd_check_format_matches (arch, bfd_archive, &matching)) (gdb) 670 bfd_nonfatal (archive_filename); (gdb) /usr1/rtems/work/tools/build-powerpc-tools/gcc/../binutils/ar: j.a: Invalid operation 671 if (bfd_get_error () == bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized) (gdb) 676 xexit (1); (gdb) ---------------------------------- I confirmed this by: rm j.a ../gas/as-new -mlittle -o j.o j.s ./binutils/ar rc j.a j.o GNUTARGET=elf32-powerpcle ../binutils/ar rc j.a j.o The mips64orion failure is the same message in the same place in the gcc libgcc2 build. I suspect it is the same type of failure but need to confirm it. I think this is a bit better bug report than I started with on the targets.c one. Sorry about that. --joel
