install.texi: Bump newlib version for nvptx + gcn Before, newlib 3.2 was required for amdgcn and 3.1 for nvptx. Now recommended is 4.3.0 which was just released on 2023-01-20. While currently the old versions would work fine, upcoming GCC changes depend on a newer newlib. Thus, the minimal version is bumped instead of just recommending the new version. For GCN, the bump is in preparation for permitting non-threadlocal stack variables and vectorized math functions - both scheduled for GCC 13 and added to newlib in 4.3.0. For nvptx, this includes an emulated clock (commit 6bb96d13a), a calloc fix (5fca4e0f1) and changes to permit libgfortran to be compiled with I/O support instead of only in minimal mode. (Patch approved for GCC 13 but pending on a nvtpx patch.) gcc/ChangeLog: * doc/install.texi (amdgcn, nvptx): Require newlib 4.3.0. diff --git a/gcc/doc/install.texi b/gcc/doc/install.texi index ccc8d15fd08..b1861a6a437 100644 --- a/gcc/doc/install.texi +++ b/gcc/doc/install.texi @@ -3855,7 +3855,7 @@ Instead of GNU Binutils, you will need to install LLVM 13.0.1, or later, and cop @file{bin/llvm-ar} to both @file{bin/amdgcn-amdhsa-ar} and @file{bin/amdgcn-amdhsa-ranlib}. -Use Newlib (3.2.0, or newer). +Use Newlib (4.3.0 or newer).
