mips-sgi-irix6.5 installation

[Cyril Fischer]

Hi, I am not able to successfully compile egcs-1.1.2 on sgi indy (R4000
cpu).  The compilation stops when assembling the libstdc++.so for
-mabi=64. (due to the non-existent  64 bit library libm.so) As we have
32-bit cpu, we do not use 64 bit mode. How can I prevent the -mabi=64
step of the build procedure? I would like to avoid the manual editing of
makefiles.

Thanks,
Cyril

Add the flag --disable-multilib to the initial ./configure

I believe you can use "--disable-multilib" at configure time to prevent the
building of all the various libraries for the different MIPS ABIs.

It seems that I'm not the only one affected by the lack of 64bit
libraries.  Would anyone dislike a patch that would test whether
/usr/lib64/libc.so exists, and disable multilibs on IRIX6 if it does
not?

Or if we could just disable the 64bit libraries in that case.  But that's
quite a bit more difficult :-)

Not really.  Disabling multilib support within gcc would be quite
hard, but just testing whether a program can be linked with -mabi=64
is trivial, and we can thus avoid trying to create shared libraries
for this ABI.  We could still create static ones, though, but they
wouldn't be of much use, so I'm inclined not to do it.  How about the
attached patch?

Yup.

I hadn't considered your approach of wacking up config-ml.in.  It's actually
not a bad way to attack this problem.

Agreed.  And installed.

I believe you can use "--disable-multilib" at configure time to prevent the
building of all the various libraries for the different MIPS ABIs.
