Description Charles Davis 2011-05-11 03:48:26 UTC
The latest Apple GCC is producing code that Xcode Tools 3.2.3 just can't handle. Compiling =media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.31, for example, produces this:

{standard input}:2044:non-relocatable subtraction expression, "LC2" minus "L00000000008$pb"
{standard input}:2044:symbol: "L00000000008$pb" can't be undefined in a subtraction expression
{standard input}:1976:non-relocatable subtraction expression, "LC2" minus "L00000000007$pb"
{standard input}:1976:symbol: "L00000000007$pb" can't be undefined in a subtraction expression
{standard input}:1905:non-relocatable subtraction expression, "LC0" minus "L00000000006$pb"
{standard input}:1905:symbol: "L00000000006$pb" can't be undefined in a subtraction expression
{standard input}:1854:non-relocatable subtraction expression, "LC0" minus "L00000000005$pb"
{standard input}:1854:symbol: "L00000000005$pb" can't be undefined in a subtraction expression
{standard input}:unknown:Undefined local symbol L00000000005$pb
{standard input}:unknown:Undefined local symbol L00000000006$pb
{standard input}:unknown:Undefined local symbol L00000000007$pb
{standard input}:unknown:Undefined local symbol L00000000008$pb
make[4]: *** [libgstaudioconvert_la-tmp-orc.lo] Error 1

The source for Xcode Tools 4.0 has been released. Heck, the source for 3.2.5 has been released. It's long past time to update.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
None really, this is an update request.
Actual Results:  
sys-devel/binutils-apple should be the current version.

Expected Results:  
sys-devel/binutils-apple is outdated.

Comment 1 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-05-11 07:00:48 UTC
with the only problem that 4.0 is a total rewrite from scratch which needs 4 or 5 missing libraries to compile

If you're interested, I've got a skeleton/partly working ebuild here.
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-05-11 20:08:14 UTC
3.2.6 is in the tree now, which is what was shipped when apple also released the latest compiler we have in the tree.  That should solve this bug.

I also added the 4.0 ebuild in case you want to play around to try and get it to build.
Comment 3 Charles Davis 2011-05-11 22:26:25 UTC
Thanks. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem that prompted me to file this bug in the first place. I'll file a new bug for that issue.

And yes, I have been playing with the 4.0 ebuild.
Comment 4 dacook 2011-08-10 13:09:55 UTC
FWIW (I know this is closed), but I burned most of a day trying to get binutils-4.0 building.  Needs dyld-132.13 and libunwind-30 added to the list of needed libraries, but I finally just gave up when dyld-132.13 needed a nonexistent coreSymbolicationDyldSupport.hpp.  Couldn't find it anywhere - XCode 4.1 on 10.7, CHOST=x86_64-apple-darwin11.

Was really hoping for a linker that would understand AVX.  What are the chances of making a binutils-config profile that just uses the system's available tools?
Comment 5 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-08-10 13:12:28 UTC
native-cctools is the thing you're looking for.

Would you mind sharing your work sofar?  You seem to have come a bit further than I did at the time.
Comment 6 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-09-03 19:57:27 UTC
life's much nicer on a i7 (compared to a single G5/2GHz)

I've got 4.1 to compile here with some patience and lots of recompiles.
Comment 7 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-09-03 20:28:08 UTC
Ok, I'll commit this binutils-apple, but no keywords yet, as I don't trust this thing to be able to do anything useful at the moment.  At least it seems to be able to successfully link and assemble the 3.2.6 version.  It's slotted with the 3.x series, so you can install it without necessarily nuking your system immediately.

Comment 8 Charles Davis 2011-09-04 02:26:46 UTC
Excellent!

The 4.1 tools seem to work just fine. I was able to build gcc-apple with them, as well as several other ebuilds.
Comment 9 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2011-09-04 07:45:16 UTC
Thanks for the feedback.  It looks ok here too.
