Summary: --disable-shared disables too much
Product: gcc
Version: 3.2.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libstdc++
AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
ReportedBy: bim2003 at basistech dot com
CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
GCC host triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
My goal is to build a copy of gcc where (a) there are no shared libs produced
for libstdc++ (or other) components, but (b) it is possible to use the results
to build shared libraries. This requires the production of a libstdc++.a that
is compiled PIC on solaris. --disable-shared resulted in a libstdc++ that is
not compiled pic, and so can't be linked with a shared lib.
If I've missed something in the configure doc that explains how to accomplish
this, I apologize.

Not really bug as --disable-shared disables the building the shared libraries which are the PIC
ones (on most targets that is, except for where PIC is default like *-*-darwin*).
>From <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html>:
Use --disable-shared to build only static libraries.
Which means not shared library versions.

On Solaris, there is a sort of tri-state logic. You can build any of:
(1) a .a file containing files compiled -fPIC
(2) a .a file containing files not compiled -fPIC
(3) a .so file.
There are good reasons to want #1, and, as a result, for about 10 years people
working on Solaris have built these things.
In my case, I want to make binaries that are self-contained and don't depend on
a libstdc++.so. On the other hand, I want some of those binaries to be,
themselves, shared libraries. This requires a libstdc++.a that contains .o
files created with -fPIC.
On Intel, this doesn't come up, because -PIC is optional, and so the
standard .a that results from a --disable-shared configuration can be used as
part of the build of a shared library. On sparc, some people I know just always
build with PIC, and some build two different archives.
I hope it isn't rude to repopen. If I still haven't convinced you, I'm not
planning to be a pest.

Actually it is tri-state on many targets

I think we should leave this to the libstdc++ maintainers. They know how
difficult something like this would be, and whether they would be willing
to maintain it.

--with-pic should get libtool to compile PIC for static libraries as well

... what Alexandre said, but other options include.
make CXXFLAGS='-fPIC' target-libstdc++-v3
or
configuring with (from http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/configopts.html)
./configure --enable-cxx-flags='-fPIC'
etc etc.
Can we close this?

If you make configure --help mention --with-pic, then you'll never have to
take another report like this again. ;-)
Sure, close it.

FWIW, libstdc++-v3/configure --help does show --with-pic as one of the options.
top-level configure doesn't show all available options for all available
sub-projects, and it would b e tricky to arrange for it to do so.
