             Bug #: 50229
           Summary: [4.7 Regression] Can't cross compile for
                    i686-apple-darwin10 from x86_64-redhat_linux
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: bootstrap

I am cross-compiling a 
HOST=i686-apple-darwin10
BUILD=x86_64-redhat-linux
TARGET=i686-w64_mingw32
cross-compiler.

GCC 4.6 (and most probably 4.5) work fine, GCC 4.7 misconfigures and results in
a build failure.

Attached is top-level toplevel config.log, more to follow.

Not necessarily related to your specific problem - but a "heads up":

I've just committed a change to the Darwin port that will make the compiler
(better) use the target system headers.

However, it will also accentuate the issue that you are targeting Darwin10
using a Darwin9 system framework and toolset.  

You will need to fake a darwin10 "ld" that can handle the "-no_compact_unwind"
unwind flag (or comment that section out of config/darwin10.h).

Until someone has time to update odcctools or toolwhip to a Darwin10 version, I
wonder if it is not simply easier to build an i686-Darwin9 executable? (which
should run fine on Darwin10)

(this relates to the host libs and tools of course - not the mingw_32 stuff).

I'm still experiencing the same behavior.

I don't think the darwinx toolchain has the problems you say? Why do you think
it uses a Darwin9 system framework and headers? It has GCC 4.2.1 and the Mac OS
X 10.5 SDK, which are all pretty Darwin10 as far as I can see.

Something changed in 4.6 vs 4.7. I have sys/malloc.h , objc/malloc.h, and
malloc/malloc.h. Somehow, HAVE_MALLOC_H is being wrongfully defined to 1 when
it should be 0.

auto-host.h has the define commented out.
auto-build.h has it defined.

These are the same for GCC 4.6. So the problem must lie elsewhere...

I noticed the gengtype-lex.o object file is build with i686-apple-darwin10-gcc
for GCC 4.7, and (Linux) gcc for GCC 4.6. This cannot be intended behavior.

yes, I would guess so unless you re-build the cross tools (and that would
probably not solve your config problems - given the other comments you made)
...

OSX 10.5 is darwin 9 (and gcc 4.2.1 is perfectly usable under OSX10.5/darwin9 -
it's just not the default).

Target: i686-apple-darwin10
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin
--includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

--enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++
--with-sysroot=/usr/darwinx/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk 
 .........................................................^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm not aware of a genuine darwin10 (OSX 10.6) cross-toolchain - but if there
is I'd love to see it (I'm only aware of toolwhip and odcctools which are both
on the darwin9  ld64 AFAIK).

I received a build of a darwinx-ld binary from the darwinx toolchain maintainer
that accepts the -no_compact_unwind option, and the problem has not gone away.
Configure is either using the wrong headers for the build or configure is
messing up.

i686-apple-darwin10 isn't a cross-only target but also a host platform.

> Until someone has time to update odcctools or toolwhip to a Darwin10 version, I wonder if it is not simply easier to build an i686-Darwin9 executable? (which should run fine on Darwin10)

I've done this. I started from javacom's toolchain4 which uses odcctools. I
heavily patched odcctools to bring them more up to date. Eventually, the hope
is to merge these cross compilers with the crosstool-ng project.

For now though, you can find the source code here:
https://github.com/mingwandroid/toolchain4 (master branch should build ok with
./build-all.sh apple provided you've got MacOSX10.7.sdk)

..and binaries here (again to use these you need MacOSX10.7.sdk):
http://mingw-and-ndk.googlecode.com/files/multiarch-darwin11-cctools127.2-gcc42-5666.3-llvmgcc42-2336.1-Linux-120724.tar.xz

(the Darwin native build is provided too for testing/QA purposes).

What brought me here was a desire to add some information about this bug, when
I saw the odcctools comment from Iain I thought I may as well mention my
compilers.

Further Information:

I'm also getting this when trying to build some Android cross compilers in the
Canadian way, with failures when host is either Darwin or Windows. The bug only
happens if --enable-plugins is specified to configure (as that's what triggers
building a gengtype executable for the host machine).

...so as Ruben said, it seems that there's config confusion going on.

--- Comment #20 from Francois-Xavier Coudert <fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This PR appears to report two different issues:
  1. cross-compiler targeting Darwin
  2. cross-compiler hosted on Darwin

The first one, as far as I know, simply doesn't work for recent darwin
versions, due to lack of compiler tools (cross assembler and linker). Is that
correct?

For the second, could someone post a clear and up-to-date example of when it
doesn't work?

> This PR appears to report two different issues:

cross-compilers targeting Darwin <= 9 are possible using odcctools.

For "the future"
I am working on a set of GCC patches and a GAS port that solves part of the
problem for newer cases.  I intend to post these before stage#1 ends (but time
is short - esp. with trunk trashed on darwin at the moment).

However the static linker remains an issue (I have a build of ld64-127.2 which
supports Darwin10, and ppc*) … however, this needs to be forward-ported to the
latest published sources for ld64 before it will support "current" Darwin.  

In any event, it would be the User's responsibility to obtain a suitable SDK
for the target - by downloading the appropriate Xcode and extracting the SDK as
needed.

in short: "can't be expected to work until there's a set of Darwin 'binutils'
supporting > darwin 9". (working on providing that).

>   2. cross-compiler hosted on Darwin

I do this all the time - it's possible to cross from x86_64-darwin12 ->
powerpc-darwin9, for example (assuming one has the relevant cctools and ld64,
and enough patience).

I have also built native-crosses [x86-64-darwin12=build powerpc-darwin8
host/target] for the record.

Darwin works just fine as a host for cross-compilers to Linux.

(building your own sysroot - in particular GLIBC can be a trial, but if you
make a sysroot from a standard distro, it's not hard).

in short (2) is very definitely "works for me"

--- Comment #2 from howarth at bromo dot med.uc.edu ---
The missing linkage on libstdc++ would be solved by making sure that the
/sw/src/fink.build/gcc50-5.0.0-1000/darwin_objdir/./gcc/xg++ compiler is used
to link libitm rather than the current
/sw/src/fink.build/gcc50-5.0.0-1000/darwin_objdir/./gcc/xgcc.

For me too: I regularly build darwin-to-mingw-w64 cross compilers, with no
problem at all. But there were, apparently, problems with Canadian crosses
(comments by Ray Donnelly).
