           Summary: bootstrap failure in libffi:darwin_closure for
                    powerpc-darwin8
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

During build of gcc-4.6.1 on powerpc-darwin8 (after having disabled libquadmath
from PR 49582), I get a compilation error in libffi on

Can anyone else test this on powerpc-darwin8?  I'll see what I can figure out.

I'll take a look at this.

As a quick work-around you might try 
"--disable-multilib"  since you appear to be building on a machine that is not
64 bit anyway.

(of course, if you need to build m64 code for other machines that won't help -
but it will get you going for native stuff).

He is using my proposed fink gcc46 packaging so it should be...

../gcc-4.6.1/configure --prefix=/sw --prefix=/sw/lib/gcc4.6
--mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/lib/gcc4.6/info
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto,objc,obj-c++,java --with-gmp=/sw

--with-system-zlib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
--program-suffix=-fsf-4.6 --enable-cloog-backend=isl --disable-libjava-multilib
--disable-libquadmath

Note that I don't see any issues with a dual G5 building gcc 4.6.1 on
powerpc-apple-darwin9 under Xcode 3.1.4.

thanks, Jack
I check darwin9 quite often, and that is OK with trunk too.

whilst it would be nice to have m64 to work on D8 - I'm wondering if it is
simply more trouble than value (esp. if the User has only 32bit hardware).   I
wonder how many G5 owners have a reason to use D8.

for now,  trying a build on my remaining d8 box (500M G4, so .. will take 12+
hours)... 
... also will try a X to D8 on my quad G5.

make sure that the size of the dyld_stub_binding_helper is adjusted for arch.

please try this -
-  it resolves the problem for me on a cross to darwin8 from powerpc-darwin9.

If I have a chance over the w/e I'll boot the G5 into D8 and try a full test
cycle.

Hi Iain, thanks for looking into this.
The above patch worked for me when I tried to re-run it in my previously failed
build dir.  I didn't try to resume the bootstrap from there.  

At the same time I also kicked off a --disable-multilib build. 
Also running on dual 533MHz G4, -j2 here, so results in half-a-day, though I
might be slow responding over the weekend.  :)

I tested the patch on darwin 8 on a G5 and with crosses from darwin 9 - >
darwin 8.

results are shown in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-07/msg00134.html

FWIW: unless there's a real need to generate m64 to target a different box, I
don't think there's a whole lot of point in building the multi-libs in general
on darwin 8 on a G4.   It makes a huge difference to build & test as well.

Even on a G5, there are missing m64 libraries that prevent java from working,
and also there's no NeXT m64 ObjC support.

Having said that, m64 c, c++, fortran and GNU ObjC work fine on darwin 8.

Using Iain's patch ( http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24655 ), a
native powerpc-darwin8 bootstrap has just completed successfully.
The testsuite has just begun and will probably take another day to finish.

Along with your LTO containerization patch from PR 48108, I get excellent
results on powerpc-darwin8:
