bootstrap fails on Debian ppc64 with fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory

[Dennis Clarke]

 From the desk of here-we-go-again:

This looks similar to the issue I saw with armv7l but just different
enough where searching for configure options is getting mysterious at
best. The header needed is :

     /usr/include/powerpc64-linux-gnu/bits/libc-header-start.h

So there I see a triplet sort of name "powerpc64-linux-gnu".
I go back and read :

     https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-help/2022-May/141529.html


The gcc that I have within Debian ppc64 is off the shelf :

enceladus$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 11.3.0-1) 11.3.0
Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

enceladus$ gcc -print-multiarch
powerpc64-linux-gnu
enceladus$

However it is not at all clear what that tells me.

So here I go looking at the option salad tossed into the Debian gcc :

enceladus$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

enceladus$

OKay so I can glean a bit of information from that collossal list :

     --disable-libquadmath
     --disable-libquadmath-support
     --enable-default-pie
     --with-system-zlib
     --disable-softfloat
     --enable-targets=powerpc64-linux,powerpc-linux
     --enable-multiarch
     --disable-werror
     --with-long-double-128
     --enable-multilib
     --build=powerpc64-linux-gnu
     --host=powerpc64-linux-gnu
     --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu

Well I know the hardware will do 128bit floating point but it is the fun
and bizarre IBM 16 byte format made up of two 8 byte floats mashed
together with magic. Fine. It works. I know libquadmath is only for
AMD64 so fine that needs not be said. I don't see the value of throwing
away softfloat becuase who knows? Maybe I want to emulate floating point
for fun? Given that the 16 byte ( 128bit ) stuff is emulated anyways on
everything other than mainframes and IBM Power9 ( sell a kidney to get
yours today ) I want to keep softfloat and long-double-128 stuff.  Who
knows, maybe someday we get a RISC-V chip with 128-bit hardware. For now
anything can emulate flaoting point so I'll keep that.

However I don't see why :

enceladus$ /opt/bw/build/gcc-12.1.0_debian_ppc64.003/./gcc/xgcc 
-print-multiarch
powerpc64-linux-gnu
enceladus$

There has to be some other configure option in the salad to mix in.

Would love to hear thoughts.

-m32 will change it to powerpc-linux-gnu.

Generally you need to get some knowledge about a distro if you want to
use it for development.

I mean you should read the Debian documentation I've mentioned in
previous discussion: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/ then you won't
be haunted again and again by the same problem/

Or if you think this behavior is completely stupid, you can abandon
Debian.

Other than just RTFM.

No, not "has to be".  It depends on what you want.

If you don't need multilib (i. e. the ability to compile "Hello world"
program for 32-bit PPC), then --disable-multilib.

If you need it, you really need to RTFM to get how to install 32-bit
libraries with headers on Debian, as it's OT with gcc-help.

Yeah, the point is that unless you use --disable-multilib you need both:

/usr/include/powerpc64-linux-gnu
*and*
/usr/include/powerpc-linux-gnu

i.e. the 64-bit libc headers *and* the 32-bit libc headers.

That is not the best idea.  It disables *all* multilibs: for example,
for soft float as well.  If you want to not enable all targets, just say
so in your --enable-targets=, that is what it is for.
--disable-multilib means "kneecap the compiler, I don't care about all
the functionality this may disable".

Yeah, and all this "multiarch" stuff is as well.  (GCC does biarch just
fine of course, it is a similar concept, but much older, and it does
work fine.  It's not the same thing :-) )

Yep. I only ever wanted a 64-bit build and so --disable-multilib seems
to be the ticket. Configure runs fine :

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
enceladus$

However "configure" always runs just fine regardless of much of anything
other than the mysterious --with-gmp and mpfr and mpc options. If I do
not provide those *and* also have the sources extracted into the gcc
source tree then I get a complaint and configure fails.  If I do provide
those *and* yes the libs have been prebuilt *and* the sources are in the
gcc source tree then I get no complaint and the compile then rebuilds
them anyways. No idea why. [1]

So that configure above actually does the normal bootstrap. I did not do
the bootstrap4 which is fun and does exist and yet weird in its own way.

No stage4 result but whatever :\ we didn't want that anyways ?

The testsuite is running. I expect that will be a while. I didn't bother
with gnat because it seems to always fail most of its own tests anyways.

Also yes my mail server won't send or recieve to anything with a domain
name of ".site" and I only ever see :

     Sending of the message failed.
     An error occurred while sending mail.
     The mail server responded:
         <xry111@xry111.site>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient.
     Please check the message recipient "xry111@xry111.site" and
     try again.

Which really means that the mailserver blocks that domain and a ton of
others that are deemed spooky.  I guess I could get that "fixed" for the
one specific user who does know good stuff.

Try the --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and/or --with-mpc options to specify
their locations.  Source code for these libraries can be found at
their respective hosting sites as well as at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/.  See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info.  If
you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files.  They may be located in separate packages.

Honestly, I find that hard to believe.

One or the other is needed. If you need both, I think you're the only
person in the world who needs that.

Good, there should only be three stages.

Which version of mpc have you got in the GCC source tree, and how did
you add it there?

What does 'ls -d ../gcc-12.1.0/mpc*' show?

What does config.log (in the build dir) say before it fails? It should
tell you where it found mpc.h and which version it found.

Not bloody likely right?  I am looking into that and I think the real 
issue is that the versions wanted in the source tree must be the same as 
the stuff dragging in by the script kicker download_prerequisites :

     https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html

     The in-tree build is only supported with the GMP version that
     download_prerequisites installs.

However what do I know? There is another page that says do a bootstrap4
for extra spice and flavour in your result. That doesn't fly.

I gather that now. Maybe the page that says "bootstrap4" could have a
line like "we don't know if this works" or words to that effect.  :-\

Whoa ... hold on a sec. I generally never use the little magic script
download_prerequisites. I had better check that :

hydra# head ./contrib/download_prerequisites
#! /bin/sh
#! -*- coding:utf-8; mode:shell-script; -*-

# Download some prerequisites needed by GCC.
# Run this from the top level of the GCC source tree and the GCC build 
will do
# the right thing.  Run it with the `--help` option for more information.
#
# (C) 2010-2021 Free Software Foundation
#

Sure. Right. Let's just see :

hydra# ./contrib/download_prerequisites --help
wget: not found
usage: download_prerequisites [OPTION...]

Downloads some prerequisites needed by GCC.  Run this from the top level 
of the
GCC source tree and the GCC build will do the right thing.

The following options are available:

  --directory=DIR  download and unpack packages into DIR instead of '.'
  --force          download again overwriting existing packages
  --no-force       do not download existing packages again (default)
  --isl            download ISL, needed for Graphite loop optimizations 
(default)
  --graphite       same as --isl
  --no-isl         don't download ISL
  --no-graphite    same as --no-isl
  --verify         verify package integrity after download (default)
  --no-verify      don't verify package integrity
  --sha512         use SHA512 checksum to verify package integrity (default)
  --md5            use MD5 checksum to verify package integrity
  --help           show this text and exit
  --version        show version information and exit

Okay so it needs 'wget'. Fine. Easy to fix that.

That is precisely what I have in every machine where I try this process.

I deleted the failed build dir(s) to save on a bit of space.

I will repeat the experiment. Once more with feeling.

Oh also .. closed this bug thanks to great help!

     stage2 failure due to .... stuff
     https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88633

OKay ... I will try the configure script with and without running the
download_prerequisites goodness.

Right, you should be using that script.

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC

Or (as that page says) just install the debian packages and stop
installing them by hand.

You should use it. It makes everything much simpler than you're making it.

It uses curl instead if wget is not found. Most people have one or the
other already installed.

But it wouldn't complain about the mpc version if that was the case.

No.

I would also delete the source tree and untar it again, in case you've
fouled it up somehow. And then run contrib/download_prerequisites
again.

Well what difference does it make anyways?
The correct versions are the correct versions.

But I want to have the libs around as fully non-optimized and no
assembly single steppable debug enabled full of goodness. Which I
can certianly do.

That just drains the joy out of everything. However to be really clear
all I wanted was to boot strap gcc on a few machines and as usual I run
into problems. Most people these days never see the sources and only get
packages pre-built by someone else somewhere magic.  Sort of defeats the
whole reason why the source is open right? May as well just install MS
Windows Vista and be happy.

Also there is great learning stuff to be had in the process. Not the 
least of which is from good folks like Segher Boessenkool :

     https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-help/2022-May/141568.html

There is a valid point there. Am I building a compiler which is already
crippled? Hard to know for sure.

Well it does the same thing and all that is left is the patch for mpfr.

Yeah, I prefer curl. Regardless ...

Those folks working on gmp and mpfr really are the experts. The page
says :

     https://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/#download

     The bugs listed below have been fixed (latest update: 2021-05-17).

     See https://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/#fixed

Thirteen bug fixes and from what I have heard directly from some good
folks the code in GMP has been subjected to an actual proof. The MPFR
code is in process. I gather those bug fixes are valuable and trivial
to apply. In fact the download_prerequisites script could be updated
to fetch the patches and just apply them.

Yep.

Starting over from scratch seems like a good idea on Friday the 13th.

Well you keep running into problems doing things your way, so I'm
suggesting you just use the well-tested route that is known to work.

They don't affect the code GCC uses.

In that case I will apply them.
