            Bug ID: 101966
           Summary: The specified --host is not always passed correctly
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: frans at fransdb dot nl
  Target Milestone: ---
              Host: aarch64 (cortex-a53)
            Target: same
             Build: x86-64

Issue while trying to compile the second stage of gcc-11.2, to be used on an
aarch64 architecture.

Used configure command:
  --prefix=/usr               \
  --host=aarch64-cross-linux-gnueabi \
  --build=x86_64-suse-linux   \
  CC_FOR_TARGET=aarch64-cross-linux-gnueabi-gcc  \
  --enable-languages=c,c++    \
  --disable-multilib          \
  --disable-nls               \
  --disable-decimal-float     \
  --disable-libatomic         \
  --disable-libgomp           \
  --disable-libquadmath       \
  --disable-libssp            \
  --disable-libvtv            \
  --disable-libstdcxx

The above is right, the only thing is that the wrong host has been forwarded.
On most others it is:
----
Configuring in ./gcc
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking build system type... x86_64-suse-linux-gnu
checking host system type... aarch64-cross-linux-gnueabi
checking target system type... aarch64-cross-linux-gnueabi
....

It goes wrong at this point:
....
mkdir -p -- build-x86_64-suse-linux/libiberty
Configuring in build-x86_64-suse-linux/libiberty
configure: creating cache ./config.cache

checking for makeinfo... makeinfo --split-size=5000000
checking for perl... perl
checking build system type... x86_64-suse-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-suse-linux-gnu
checking for x86_64-suse-linux-ar... ar
....
The wrong host system is mentioned, which is passed on to fixinclude with the
resulting error.

Also, earlier on it went wrong with gmp.
....
Configuring in ./gmp
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking build system type... x86_64-suse-linux-gnu
checking host system type... none-cross-linux-gnueabi
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for none-cross-linux-gnueabi-strip... no

Somehow, the configure did not get the right host passed on.

It looks like bugs, but correct me if I am wrong.

Why are you overriding CC_FOR_TARGET?

All build modules need to be executable on the build system, so host=build is
correct.

Where does -mtune=cortex-a53 come from?

And then I just do for building:
PMAKE="make -j24"

$PMAKE all-host
make install-host DESTDIR=${SYSROOT}

Overriding CC_FOR_TARGET: just to make sure that the right cross 
compiler - build in the first phase - is used and not the compiler from 
the build system. This is the second phase where I compile gcc into an 
aarch64 native compiler.
So, host is not equal build system in this (second) phase.

-mtune-core-a53: from CFLAGS, just to make sure that no code is 
generated for the cortex-a72.

I noticed that you are not using the --build switch, but rather the --target
switch. I tried that too - without the --build switch - to no avail.
I shall study your setup and report back with my result(s).
