Description of problem: I'm using the sources from the RHEL-7.2 binutils and gcc to build cross-toolchains that can be hosted on non-RHEL-7 platforms to target the RHEL-7.2 environment. The linker, however, SEGVs when building the shared libgcc for ppc32 BE and at least one other time according to the log. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-4.8.5-20150702 binutils-2.23.52.0.1-54 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unpack the object tarball in /tmp/objects 2.

Created attachment 1071358 [details] Specfile for building RHEL-7.2 cross compilers Here's the specfile for building the RHEL-7.2 cross binutils. Just add the sources from the regular RHEL-7.2 binutils package. If only the x86_64 and s390x cross-compilers aren't required, near the top of the specfile find this bit: %define build_rhel 1 %define build_powerpc64 %{build_rhel} %define build_powerpc64le %{build_rhel} %define build_s390x %{build_rhel} %define build_x86_64 %{build_rhel} Change build_rhel to 0 and build_powerpc64 to 1. Don't bother with build_powerpc64le as it's redundant.

Created attachment 1071387 [details] Updated spec file
Hi David, The problem is the bfd-ppc64le.patch file. I tries to make powerpc64 specific changes to generic parts of the linker, but it was guarding these changes with a check for #ifdef __PPC__. Unfortunately that symbol is only defined if the *host* compiler is a ppc64 compiler, ie only when building a native ppc64 linker. If you are building a cross hosted ppc64 linker then __PPC__ is not defined, and the patches in bfd-ppc64le.patch do not work. I have uploaded a new patch file pfd-ppc64le.2.patch and a new spec file which includes it. You will note that I have left the old bfd-ppc64le.patch file in the spec file. This is just laziness on my part. It was simpler to do this than to remove the bfd-pp64le.patch and create a new, replacement patch instead. Please try out the new patch and let me know how you get on. Also please let me know if you would prefer it if I created a replacement patch for bfd-ppc64le.patch, rather than a supplemental patch. Cheers Nick
Okay, I can build a ppc32 libgcc okay, but the ppc64 BE shared libgcc now fails with the linker SEGV'ing when called from collect2.

I applied the patch to the binutils src that is part of the RHEL7.2 beta build. The result was the same, ld core dumps sigsegv when trying to link libgcc... I am trying to create a cross toolchain on RHEL6.3 x86_64 targeted at powerpc64le
Created attachment 1072058 [details] Revised additional patch *sigh* I forgot to check the 64-bit ppc case. Sorry about that. I have uploaded a revised version of the new patch which should make both 32-bit and 64-bit ppc work. Cheers Nick
I can build the compiler now, thanks!
After applying this latest patch, I am now able to build the compiler for the ppc64le-redhat-linux target. Thank you.
The new 7.3 binutils should avoid the need for the patches uploaded here and instead just work. Changing to MODIFIED so that QE can test/verify.
Verified for build binutils-2.25.1-20.base.el7.
