Subject: [gentoo-embedded] crossdev builds libiberty.a with host arch
Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 16:37:18 +0100

Tried to build oprofile
./configure --host powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/binutils/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu
-L/usr/local/src/FS/fsall/basicfs/usr/lib"
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/binutils/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/include

configure: error: liberty library not found

this appears to be caused by crossdevs libiberty.a beeing built with the
hosts arch instead of powerpc:
nm /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/lib/libiberty.a |
grep __i686
00000000 T __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx
00000000 T __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx
....

Bug in crossdev, oprofile or user error?

user error. this is expected behavior: the libs under
/usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/lib/ are libraries that will be linked for $CHOST
binaries but used to debug $CTARGET code. libiberty is a bad example as it
generally doesn't have any target info in it, so let's use libbfd.a as an
example instead.

linking against /usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/lib/libbfd.a will let you run code on
$CHOST but load ELFs that are compiled for $CTARGET.

if you want to build oprofile for $CTARGET, you need to build binutils for
$CTARGET (CHOST==CTARGET).

Ahh, too long time since I mucked around with sysroot. I installed binutils and now I got
a the correct libbfd.so and libiberty.a under
/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/usr/lib/binutils/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/2.16.1/
There is no symlink under
/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/lib/
though which forces me to pass -L and -I options too gcc in order to
build oprofile. Would be nice if the symlinks were created to make the
x-compile env. mimic the normal host env.

Same for libbfd and headers for those 2 libs.

:) that got me
/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/lib/libiberty.a ->
/usr/lib/binutils/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/2.16.1/libiberty.a

but this is a host arch libiberty.a so can't use it for x-compile :(

No sign of any new libiberty.h header files though.
Did I miss something?

hmm, yeah, that's because binutils-config doesn't use relative symlinks. i
wonder if relative would be fine since it isn't crossing the /usr boundary ...

you might also have to manually set CHOST otherwise binutils-config will think
it's setting up a cross-compiler.

CHOST=powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
ROOT=/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
binutils-config 1

Possibly, can't think of a reason not to.

oops, my mistake there is
ls -l /usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/usr/include/libiberty.h
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 72 12 nov 22.26 /usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/usr/include/libiberty.h -> /usr/lib/binutils/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/2.16.1/include/libiberty.h

I guess crossdev should run binutils-config automatically?

BTW, somewhat offtopic but why isn't libtool-2.4.2 unstable yet?

no real reason. i forgot about it, and since no one has filed bugs about it
breaking them horribly, i'll move it into ~arch now.

Something else I noted. I remembered I had binutils 2.18 installed too:
$ binutils-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 *

[2] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1
[3] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.18 *

and I can select it but

CHOST=powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
ROOT=/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
binutils-config -l

Using binutils-config info in /usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/
[1] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1 *

Only shows 2.16.1

...

CHOST=powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu binutils-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 *
[2] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1
[3] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.18 *

Shows both though(why is i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1?)

these are toolchains in ROOT=/

[1] is probably: CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CTARGET=i686-pc-linux-gnu
