GCC 3.2 RTEMS Target Build Report

GCC 3.2 RTEMS Target Build Report

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi,

We have built RPMs for GCC 3.2 and newlib 1.10.0 on a RedHat 7.3
GNU/Linux system for the following RTEMS targets.  For each target, 
the languages included in the RPMs are listed.

arm-rtems 		- C, C++
h8300-rtems		- C, C++
hppa1.1-rtems		- C, C++
i386-rtems		- C, C++, Ada
i960-rtems		- C, C++
m68k-rtems		- C, C++
mips64orion-rtems	- C, C++
mips-rtems		- C, C++
powerpc-rtems		- C, C++, Ada
sh-rtemself		- C, C++
sh-rtems		- C, C++
sparc-rtems		- C, C++, Ada

There are some patches which were also needed for 3.1.  We
have had success building mips for Ada even though it wasn't
included in this set.  The arm, h8300, i960, m68k, and sh 
backends require exception handling modifications to support Ada.

As the TI C4x and OR32/OR1K targets in gcc require special
patches, we did not build those for 3.2.

RTEMS is a free real-time operating system for embedded systems
based upon open standards.  The project provides pre-built GNU 
toolsets for user convenience.  If anyone is interested, email
me for details.

Good!  Evidently the situation with embedded targets is much better now.
Are the tests in reasonable shape, or did you get that far?

Did you mean to say "3.2" here?  If so, have the patches been submitted?

I should have mentioned they are on ftp.oarcorp.com if anyone is
interesed.

It looks to be in better shape. It took from the 3.1 release until 
just about a week ago to get Ada support into the RPMs.

I haven't gotten that far yet.  It will build all of RTEMS except for
an ICE on the i960 which I have not reported yet.  I really need to be
able to run test_installed and it did not work for me a few months ago
when I tried it. It had problems when the toolset wasn't named gcc.
I will put this in the queue as well. :)

Yes I meant our 3.1 patch worked for 3.2 for all but a 1 liner which was
fixed.  I have not submitted them yet but will try to next week.  They 
are mostly Ada related.
