Cross-compiler --sysroot discrepancy with default library and include paths

Cross-compiler --sysroot discrepancy with default library and include paths

[Bryan Drewery]

(Please CC me as I am not subscribed)

It seems that when building a cross-compiler with a default --target but
no default --with-sysroot, the default -isystem =/usr/include path is
not automatically included when using --sysroot but default -L =/lib and
-L =/usr/lib are included.

(Full example output at end)

I did not realize that --sysroot would not add in -isystem
=/usr/include.  Clang does auto include -isystem =/usr/include with
--sysroot.

The use-case here is for cross-building FreeBSD's userland against a
fully populated sysroot that has target headers and libraries.  The
cross-compiler is provided in a pre-built package and does not have a
hard-coded default TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT in it.  It is required to pass
-isystem =/usr/include to do what I'm expecting.

This behavior of not including =/usr/include is not documented in
--sysroot or otherwise as far as I can tell.

Adding the library search paths in but not /usr/include seems odd.  In
gcc.c the default library paths (standard_startfile_prefix_1,
standard_startfile_prefix_2) are added in when cross_compile == '0' (not
the case here) or if there is a target_system_root set.  The
target_system_root comes from both TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT or dynamically
from --sysroot.  The include paths are only hard-coded at build time in
cppdefault.c and the "native paths" of /usr/include are not added using
basically the same logic as in gcc.c but only relies on the build-time
TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT not being defined.  Granted the logic in cppdefault.c
is intended to only bring in /usr/include and not =/usr/include, I think
that --sysroot should also default to adding in -isystem =/usr/include.
 Otherwise something should be documented here.


Here's the cross-compiler being used:
