Libiberty

Libiberty

[Bill Cunningham]

    I haven't found anything in the docs that I see that explains the
libiberty library. Can this be compiled without having to compile a whole
new compiler? I am running 3.4.6 and what to cross compile for a pdp-11. I
just want to compile the extra support and that's all.

You didn't find the libiberty documentation?  It's separate from the
gcc documentation, but available on the gcc docs web page.

Er, yes, since that's what we do each time we build it for the build
and host machines.  Only the target libiberty is built with the
just-built compiler.

Extra support for what purpose?  Are you trying to use libiberty with
your own application?

cd gcc && make doesn't rebuild libiberty.  I use that to avoid  
recompiles.

  Yes.  Gcc uses the support functions it provides.  It's compiled and
statically linked in to the new gcc.

  You've lost me there.  I thought you said you were compiling gcc?  Or do you
mean you're doing it as part of a combined-tree-build?

  In any case, libiberty is vital.  And small and quick to build.  'fraid I
don't have much useful advice on how to cut down your build times except maybe
to use a --disable-checking compiler.

    Everytime I compile gcc I see that libiberty is being compiled. Is this
a needed library and if not how can I switch it off? I'm using glibc-2.1 and
I'd like to figure out compiling 2.3 and I've done it before so I just have
to remember how. I want to cut down on all that compile time.

Because each package has its own release schedule.

Following up on someone's posting about libiberty, this question has been
bugging me for a while. Why does so many software (i.e egcs, gcc,
binutils, gdb) comes with their own libiberty sources?

Cheers,
Alex
