From: "baker at usgs dot gov" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug middle-end/54630] [4.8 Regression] GCC 4.8 --enable-languages=c build fails: Undefined symbols: ___cxa_guard_acquire and ___cxa_guard_release Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:58:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-54630-4-oTrPVr4fEO@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-54630-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54630 --- Comment #13 from Larry Baker <baker at usgs dot gov> 2012-11-20 19:57:41 UTC --- Jakub, The root of the problem is because GCC required a C++ linker, but the logic in gcc/Makefile forces the linker to be $(CC) when HOST_LIBS are specified: # The name of the compiler to use. COMPILER = $(CXX) COMPILER_FLAGS = $(CXXFLAGS) # If HOST_LIBS is set, then the user is controlling the libraries to # link against. In that case, link with $(CC) so that the -lstdc++ # library is not introduced. If HOST_LIBS is not set, link with # $(CXX) to pick up -lstdc++. ifeq ($(HOST_LIBS),) LINKER = $(CXX) LINKER_FLAGS = $(CXXFLAGS) else LINKER = $(CC) LINKER_FLAGS = $(CFLAGS) endif Since GCC from now on will be implemented in C++, we can expect there will be C++-only features (local statics, as you say). This, in turn, implies to me that GCC should be linked with a C++ compiler, not a C compiler. Maybe this Makefile should just honor what the user specifies, instead of switching to $(CC). E.g., if the user requires gcc, then they can define CXX=gcc. This also means that HOST_LIBS can use g++ syntax when CXX=g++. Thus, HOST_LIBS='-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++' will work as expected. I hope someone will look at the cause of this error and think about whether the Makefile behavior really makes sense the way it is. I think not.
