Description Brendan Conoboy 2011-10-17 22:50:40 UTC

Description of problem:

The current gcc.spec in Fedora 15 and beyond need a couple patches to correctly build the armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi gcc package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This is applicable to gcc 4.6.1.  The patch is vs the spec file in koji's gcc-4.6.1-10.fc16.src.rpm

Additional info:

This patch does 2 things:

1. Adds the -gnueabi string to the target triplet for arm targets.

2. Adds the specific configuration options for armv7hl hosts.  This is different from any previous Fedora arm gcc because F15/gcc 4.6 is the firs release to use the new hard float ABI.

Comment 2 Brendan Conoboy 2011-10-18 21:55:47 UTC

It's been pointed out to me that the first part of the patch might be unnecessary as _gnu doesn't appear to be used at this time.  Perhaps just the second half of the patch will be sufficient.

Comment 3 Henrik Nordström 2011-10-18 22:57:47 UTC

The line

   --build=armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi --host=armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi --target=armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi

is redundant and not needed.

Redefiniiton of _gnu to -gnueabi is missing. Default is just -gnu

Updated armv7hl configure flags

Updated gcc.spec patch.

and turns out _gnu is in fact defined properly by rpm. No need to redefine for arm.
