Hi,
When I tried to compile glibc for powerpc using egcs, I got
vfscanf.c: In function `_IO_vfscanf':
vfscanf.c:1166: internal error--unrecognizable insn:
(insn 26472 516 506 (set (reg:SI 8 r8)
(unspec[
(symbol_ref:SI ("@__ctype_b"))
(mem:SI (plus:SI (reg:SI 31 r31)
(const_int 128)))
] 8)) -1 (nil)
(nil))
when making stdio-common/vfscanf.os with -fpic. -fPIC is fine.
I was wondering if anyone had tried to use egcs to build shared
libraries on powerpc with -fpic and SVR4 ABI.
BTW, I cannot find a small test case. The one I got is several
hundred lines.
Thanks.

I have a medium-sized test case somewhere; this particular bug is
triggered by gcc putting the GOT register in memory, which the
.md file can't cope with.
I have a patch for egcs at
< http://discus.anu.edu.au/~geoffk/egcs-geoffk.diff.gz >, which fixes
this and many other bugs. I have another more extensive patch at home
which fixes even more bugs, most notably a bug involving constant
folding on switch statements. The first patch was sent to egcs-bugs
and will eventually end up in the distribution; I'm still testing the
second patch.
I've been told that current binutils don't work either (I use my own
extensively patched version which works fine), and there's a typo in
glibc in sysdeps/powerpc/dl-machine.h ('finaladdr' should be
'finalvalue' or something).
