MPC 0.8 prerelease tarball (last release before MPC is mandatory!)

MPC 0.8 prerelease tarball (last release before MPC is mandatory!)

[Kaveh R. GHAZI]

A prerelease tarball of the upcoming mpc-0.8 is available here:
http://www.multiprecision.org/mpc/download/mpc-0.8-dev.tar.gz

This release is feature complete with respect to C99 and GCC's needs.
So I expect to make this version be the one made mandatory for the
gcc-4.5 release.  If there are any remaining bugs especially
portability problems to GCC's primary or secondary platforms, I'd like
to get those reported and fixed before this release is final.

Please test this MPC package and report back the results of running
"make check" along with your target triplet, the compiler version you
used, and the versions of gmp/mpfr used to compile it.  You do not
necessarily need to bootstrap mainline GCC with this MPC, but if you
have the spare time and cycles it would be nice too.

The -Werror flag will not be used in the final release, so it should work 
for you.

Yes.  There remains a few cleanups (see PR40302), but the heavy lifting is

MPC-0.8 build fails on AIX due to libtool.  The changes to libtool
between MPC-0.7 and MPC-0.8 rely on Bash-specific features.  Manually
editing libtool to use Bash allowed the build to succeed.

Hi David,

Can you please be more specific about this problem?  I've seen several build 
reports on non-gnu systems that don't use bash as the default shell, 
including my own solaris2.9 box.  None of them fail on bash-isms.  So I'm 
curious what the actual failure is on AIX.

The more recent libtool was suggested to avoid some issues on darwin, so I 
prefer not to opt for a downgrade if at all possible.  If there is some 
non-portable shell construct, we should file a bug report with the libtool 
maintainers.  Another option in the mean time is that if ksh or some other 
shell supplied by default works on AIX we could recommend using that via 
CONFIG_SHELL.

What do you suggest as possible ways forward?

        Thanks,

AIX Shell is KSH.

The problem is shell append += and libtool not running with the same
shell used by configure.

After my intervention:

$ make check

What version of libtool is used by mpc?  Libtool HEAD could fix this bug.

Hm, the mpc configure script actually has a check for shell +=, and on my 
solaris box it correctly detects that it doesn't work.

        checking whether the shell understands "+="... no

Presumably on solaris then += isn't used.  I wonder what does configure say 
here for AIX and why does it attempt to use it?

As David said, the problem is using the same shell in configure and 
libtool.  I think I fixed this upstream (just as a consequence of cleanups).

So IIUC, David is setting SHELL=/path/to/bash first, then running
configure, then getting an error.  This happens because configure tests
that bash understands +=, but libtool is run with (presumably) /bin/sh and
doesn't understand += right?

If so, then if one doesn't set SHELL (or CONFIG_SHELL?) on AIX, everything
should work fine building MPC, right?

Basically, but using /bin/sh on AIX causes other problems.

Ok great, since Paolo fixed the libtool problem upstream I'll consider this 
issue closed.

Could you please provide the testing details so we can note it in the MPC 
platforms page?  I.e. target triplet plus gcc/gmp/mpfr versions.  Or just 
confirm they are the same as the report you gave for the previous MPC 
release noted here:
