GCC was later reinstalled from cross-compiled binary package, but, because of bug #477956 it is still can not be used, as on this system there are not N32 libs at all(no /lib32)
Comment 1 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2014-06-12 18:33:14 UTC
Just out of mild curiosity, do you have another gcc installed alongside gcc-4.8.2?  If so, can you use gcc-config to switch to it, compile a simple test program (like hello world), then run 'ldd' on the binary and tell me if the paths link to the correct libgcc_s.so version, or if they try to link to gcc-4.8.2's libgcc_s.so?

I ran into such a case while rebuilding the userland on my Octane, and just want to make sure I wasn't running into some kind of related bug.  In my case, o32 w/ mips-linux-unknown-gnu.  The $PATH was set so that 'mips-linux-unknown-gnu-gcc' and friends could be executed, but the linking was clearly messed up.
Comment 2 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-13 22:34:19 UTC
I am very sorry for confusion, i went through shell command history and realized that the whole situation is because i installed wrong cross-compiled binary package.

Problem is that, despite of forcing n64 in any forms(CFLAGS, profile selection, etc), result compiler ABI is n32. In crossdev or neighbor n32/multilib  environment with overrided ROOT and PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT(that pointing to valid n64 root with correctly selected profile).

So, closing as INVALID? Or trying to dig deeper? Cause i see nothing strange in toolchain eclass that can lead to this behaviour.

not sure if that helps at this point but maybe you can use the tinderbox packages to recover

i'm lost as to what this bug is trying to show.  mips64-unknown-linux-gnu has always defaulted to n32 hasn't it ?  and in bug 477956, we already cover the fact that gcc itself doesn't support building as n64 by default.

That bug is actually about building gcc as an N64 binary on profiles with some other default ABI.

But yeah, I don't know what is going on in this bug either.

Right now - yes. But old stage has it in n64!

Just look at stage3-mips64_n64-20130724.tar.bz2 on our mirrors.

GCC built there has N64, definitely.

You can, of course, close this as a duplicate of bug #477956(cause this is real culprit here). But i think impossibility to upgrade without changing profile is a different issue.

I can change profile to n32/multilib and build whole stuff from there, sure, not a big deal now(when i tried everything else)

I can not find packages for BIG endian there :-(

That's from precompiled stage3 from our mirrors

No, that bug is about using an n64 gcc binary on profiles where the default ABI is not n64.

I'll modify its title...

If you can't update gcc from the mips64_n64 stage, then that's a bug.

Well. according to make.defaults in arch/mips/mips64/n64(which is inherited from my profile):

DEFAULT_ABI="n64"
ABI="${DEFAULT_ABI}"
Comment 10 matoro archtester 2022-09-15 02:56:31 UTC
This does not appear to be an issue anymore with the 17.0 profiles.  I upgraded from gcc 11.3.0 to 12.2.0 on a pure-n64 system, and the resulting binary is still n64.

Could this be retested please?

Should work now IMHO.
