[libphobos, build] Enable libphobos on Solaris 11/x86

[Rainer Orth]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1437 bytes --]

With the set of libphobos Solaris patches just posted, it would become
possible to enable libphobos on Solaris 11/x86 by default.

This is what this patch does.  

* It uses a LIBPHOBOS_SUPPORTED variable both in toplevel configure and
  libphobos/configure.tgt, following what libvtv does.

* It's necessary to disable libphobos when Solaris as is in use: it has
  a relatively low line length limit of 10240 which is exceeded in a few
  libphobos files.

Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (as and gas, gas
and gld, Solaris 11.3/11.4/11.5) on top of the previous set of patches.

Also tested manually that explicit
--enable-libphobos/--disable-libphobos give the desired results
(i.e. override the defaults).

I'll make a fork of sections support tonight, as that seems to be the
right way forwards.

Other parts will need upstreaming, I can do that as well.

Johannes has already commented there, and he is right about needing a
way to get tls data from DSOs.

I'm not sure about this, but haven't looked at it properly just yet.

Understood.  Maybe I can find a way to generalize the hack derived from
sections_ldc.d to TLS segments outside the executable.

I don't think you need concern yourself with this very much: it's just a
hack around a Solaris ld bug, suggested by the Solaris linker engineers
for the moment.  Once the dlpi_tls_modid patch lands in Solaris 11.5
(this week or next), I'll ask if they see a chance to have that bug
fixed in time for the Solaris 11.5 release.  If so, nobody besides
myself will ever be exposed to this issue.

I've now installed the patch since all the prerequisites are now in.  As
I mentioned, the current lack of core.sys.solaris.link support for
Solaris 11.5 dlpi_tls_modid (to go upstream first) affects no one except
myself.

Thanks.

I've just given building gcc a try in an OpenIndiana VM, and get the following:

ld: fatal: option -z has illegal argument 'relax=transtls'
ld: fatal: flags processing errors
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

$ ld --version
ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.11-1.1756 (illumos)

My fatal mistake of course was not configuring with
--with-ld=/usr/gnu/bin/ld, however it is notable that not all Solaris
linkers support this relax=transtls option.

indeed.  I don't have the time to try Illumos derivatives myself, but
looking closer that -z relax=transtls was neither in OpenSolaris (and
thus isn't in Illumos either) nor in Solaris 11.0.  Must have been
introduced at some later point, but it's certainly present in Solaris
11.3, the oldest version I can easily try.

There are two options here:

* Either Illumos has already fixed the ld bug worked around by -z
  transtls.  Then the absence of the option doesn't matter and things
  will work fine.

* Otherwise (and independently of the Illumos situation) I'll add a
  check for Solaris ld supporting the option instead of using it
  unconditionally.

I finally got back to this and did some experiments of my own: even the
latest Illumos ld doesn't implement -z relax=transtls, neither has it
fixed the underlying bug, so it's useless for 64-bit Illumos/x86.

The following patch checks for those conditions (ld support for -z
relax=transtls or gld in use) and only enables libphobos if they are
met.

I had to move the whole enable_libphobos/LIBPHOBOS_SUPPORTED block down
in configure.ac so it's able to use the results of the augmented
DRUNTIME_OS_LINK_SPEC.

While I didn't test the patch on Illumos (gcc builds inside a VM are
slow), I tried it on Solaris 10/x86 with gas/ld and gas/gld (and an
improved version of the patch for PR d/88238) where it behaved as
expected.  I've also included a previous version in a Solaris 11/x86
bootstrap.
