            Bug ID: 58446
           Summary: Support for musl libc
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

gcc/ arch-generic configuration and fixes for musl

The attached patches add support for targeting the musl C library for Linux,
http://musl-libc.org/

The patches are:

gcc-config-musl.diff: Addition of -mmusl (akin to -mglibc, -muclibc, -mbionic)
for musl libc support, as well as support for using the musl ld.so, patch to
stddef.h for musl size_t support, etc. Most controversially, redefines the
include dir ordering iff musl is the default target.

gomp-posix.diff: Not directly related to musl, a fix to libgomp to make it
properly specify required POSIX version.

gcc-config-dliterate.diff: gcc_cv_target_dl_iterate_phdr=yes for musl

libssp.diff: Support for libcs which provide libssp functions in libc (of which
musl is the only example at present)

x86.diff, arm.diff, mips.diff, powerpc.diff, aarch64.diff: ld.so specification
for each target and related fixes.

glibc provides libssp functions since version 2.4.  Apparently some people 
have a use for building libssp anyway (see bug 58312), but I'd think the 
build / installation of libssp should be disabled by default for glibc 
targets.  (Though given this is a per-multilib matter, disabling may mean 
just avoiding building / installing anything rather than completely 
disabling the directory at toplevel.)

Likewise, according to gcc/configure.ac, Bionic, and uClibc configured 
with __UCLIBC_HAS_SSP__.

Aha. I didn't realize such a setting already existed; I'll test and update my
patch later today to use the existing mechanism. Thanks for the info.

Changes to gcc/configure.ac for musl

Making libssp use the same system as everything else. (I'll leave the
whether-to-build-libssp debate to future generations :) )
