# # Notes on the way the OE cross toolchain now works # # We need a libgcc to build glibc. Tranditionally we therefore built # a non-threaded and non-shared compiler (gcc-cross-initial), then use # that to build libgcc-initial which is used to build glibc which we can # then build gcc-cross and libgcc against. # # We were able to drop the glibc dependency from gcc-cross, with two tweaks: # a) specify the minimum glibc version to support in a configure option # b) create a dummy limits.h file so that later when glibc creates one, # the headers structure has support for it. We can do this with a simple # empty file # # Once gcc-cross is libc independent, we can use it to build both # libgcc-initial and then later libgcc. # # libgcc-initial is tricky as we need to imitate the non-threaded and # non-shared case. We can do that by hacking the threading mode back to # "single" even if gcc reports "posix" and disable libc presence for the # libgcc-intial build. We have to create the dummy limits.h to avoid # compiler errors from a missing header. # # glibc will fail to link with libgcc-initial due to a missing "exception # handler" capable libgcc (libgcc_eh.a). Since we know glibc doesn't need # any exception handler, we can safely symlink to libgcc.a. # require libgcc-common.inc DEPENDS = "virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc" LICENSE = "GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception" PACKAGES = "" EXTRA_OECONF += "--disable-shared" inherit nopackages # We really only want this built by things that need it, not any recrdeptask deltask do_build do_configure_prepend () { install -d ${STAGING_INCDIR} touch ${STAGING_INCDIR}/limits.h sed -i -e 's#INHIBIT_LIBC_CFLAGS =.*#INHIBIT_LIBC_CFLAGS = -Dinhibit_libc#' ${B}/gcc/libgcc.mvars sed -i -e 's#inhibit_libc = false#inhibit_libc = true#' ${B}/gcc/Makefile } do_configure_append () { sed -i -e 's#thread_header = .*#thread_header = gthr-single.h#' ${B}/${BPN}/Makefile } do_install_append () { ln -s libgcc.a ${D}${libdir}/${TARGET_SYS}/${BINV}/libgcc_eh.a }
