[Bug c/16588] New: H8 / SH

[nitins2 at kpitcummins dot com]

Hi,
I have taken following source code version to build H8(COFF/ELF) and SH
(COFF/ELF) toolchain,
1. GCC(gcc-3.5.20040711).
2. binutils(binutils-040713).
3. newlib-1.12.0 (Dated 15/07/2004 from CVS).
While building toolchain for targets H8(COFF/ELF) and SH(COFF/ELF),
I am getting error as mentioned below at the stage of newlib building. 
Kindly suggest how to remove this error.

Patch from following link has already been applied to these latest snapshots.

This seems confused.  The first two lines are from an h8300 build, and 
the last two lines are from an sh build.  I am wondering if you did 
something wrong in your configure/build process.  But since you have 
given us no info about this, I can't comment further.

You mention that there are two targets, but give only one error message. 
  I'd expect different error messages for these two targets in this 
case, so this seems confused also.

This is just as likely a newlib problem as a gcc problem, and we don't 
handle newlib problems here.  You need to prove this is a gcc problem if 
you want us to do something with it.  You can't prove that without a 
testcase.

Hi,
I have taken following source code snapshots to build H8(COFF) toolchain,
1. GCC(gcc-3.5-20040801).
2. binutils(binutils-040802).
3. newlib-1.12.0 (Dated 15/07/2004 from CVS).
Host:i686-pc-linux-gnu
I am able to build tool chain for ELF format.
I am already adding the new cross-binutils to my path after I built and 
installed them.
While building toolchain for targets H8(COFF), I am getting error as mentioned 
below at the stage of final cross gcc building. Kindly suggest how to remove 
this error. Same kind of error comes for SH(COFF) Build.

The last bug looks like a bug in binutils as the default debugging type for coff is "sdb-format".

------- Additional Comments From wilson at gcc dot gnu dot org  2004-08-03 19:05 -------
The GCC support for the sdb/coff debug info format is badly broken, and
currently unusable.  The .def pseudo-op takes one argument, a name, and we are
giving it two in some cases.  This causes assembler errors when compiling C++
code with -g.

The sdb/coff format can not describe C++, but we should not be emitting invalid
assembly for C++ input.  We should instead find someway to emit correct assembly
code, even though the end result will be useless to gdb.

Best solution is for end users to stop using the sdb/coff format, as it is
obsolete.  It can't describe C++, or even C89.  It can only fully describe K&R
C, and it is not extensible, so this can not be fixed.

Use --with-stabs when configuring, or define PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE to
DBX_DEBUG in h8300.h.
