Bug 60911 – libgcc_s.so is part of gcc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 11:14:37 UTC]

rdepend is not correctly setted ...please correct them it's important to have the right dependencies (in particular on a embedded-uclibc env)

Created attachment 37743 [details, diff]
fixes the rdepend in uclibc

[Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 12:40:54 UTC]

Thank you for reporting this one.
0.9.26-r{1,2,3,4,5} have been updated.

Just a tip/note..
You will get better results for embedded envionments with a portage-2.0.51-preX revision vs the .50 stuff.

My guess from looking at your CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" is your not exactly using an embedded-uclibc env.

[Comment 3 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 13:08:34 UTC]

thanks for the tip on portage.

in the next weeks you'll see better CHOSTs :-) via C3, geode old pentiums and ...my zaurus :)

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-08-19 14:03:22 UTC]

bad solar, you cant do that

gcc installs libgcc_s.so which as you may remember, is *quite* critical to a healthy embedded system

[Comment 5 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 14:14:38 UTC]

but ...correct me if I'm wrong ...I can't see a uclibc file linked with  libgcc_s.so 

[Comment 6 solar (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 14:23:42 UTC]

bad solar.. 
Ok he is right. we need libgcc_s for some arches.. 
Lets start a list here?

ARCH = arm (needs libgcc_s)
ARCH = x86 ( can be "" )
OTHERS ?

[Comment 7 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 14:30:25 UTC]

Is there a way to install only the need files of the gcc package? ...and is there a way to prevend header installs (/usr/include/* etc) ?

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2004-08-19 15:03:46 UTC]

ia64 needs it sometimes

perhaps we should break out the shared libraries like libstdc++ ?

[Comment 9 solar (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 15:25:11 UTC]

Re: comment #7
Perhaps of some use to you.

Re: comment #8
Thats the ideal solution. But how to make gcc behave as a metapkg?

[Comment 10 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 14:54:22 UTC]

The original issue has been fixed.  

Making gcc behave as a metapkg is an entirely different issue that we could
address at some point, but I don't think there is any interest currently since
this bug has not been untouched for some time.
