The libffi 3.4.2 import badly broke Solaris/x86 bootstrap with the native assembler: Assembler: "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 88 : Illegal mnemonic Near line: ".macro epilogue" "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 88 : Syntax error Near line: ".macro epilogue" "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 95 : Illegal mnemonic Near line: ".endm" "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 95 : Syntax error Near line: ".endm" "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 100 : Illegal mnemonic Near line: " epilogue" "/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libffi/src/x86/win64.S", line 100 : Syntax error Near line: "epilogue" Solaris as doesn't support .macro/.endm. Fixed by using #define instead of the unportable .macro. Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.11 and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. The bug has been reported upstream (https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues/665); a corresponding pull request is also pending (https://github.com/libffi/libffi/pull/669). Both have been ignored so far. Ok for master?
