4.0.1 build failure on powerpc64-linux

4.0.1 build failure on powerpc64-linux

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

I'm trying to build 4.0.1 release on powerpc64-linux, but without success 
so far, since build fails with:

/usr/include/bits/stdio.h:77: undefined reference to `.__overflow'

I've configured it with:
  ../gcc-4.0.1/configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/local/gcc-4.0.1 --enable-shared 
--enable-threads --enable-languages=c++ --disable-checking 
--enable-__cxa_atexit

and run bootstrap-lean by:

time make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean

Also, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#powerpc-x-linux-gnu notes 
that binutils 2.15 are required, which seems to be available on this 
system (Debian 3.1/ppc64):

Any hint how to solve this?

This won't work unless the default compiler and binutils generate 64-bit
code by default.  I build biarch compilers that default to -m32 with
"--build=powerpc64-linux --host=powerpc64-linux --target=powerpc64-linux
--with-cpu=default32".

I've been using binutils 2.16, but can't remember specific problems with
earlier versions.

Have you successfully built earlier versions for this target?

Thanks! Adding those options makes a difference and now build succeed!

No, that's my first attempt on building gcc on linux/power platform.

Thanks,
