I have broken the patches I submitted on Friday February 26th into 3 patches.
These patches allow us to build the libgcc library on PowerPC for VSX systems
and optionally enable/disable the Decimal support. If Decimal support is
disabled, then the Float128 <-> Decimal conversions are not built.
I have done bootstraps on a little endian power9 system with each of the long
double variants (128-bit IBM, 128-bit IEEE, 64-bit) enabled, and there were no
regressions in each of the builds with the previous version.
In addition, I have built 2 cross compilers from my x86_64 system to little
endian PowerPC Linux. One build enabled decimal support and one disabled the
decimal support. On the build that disabled decimal support, I verified that
the _Float128 <-> Decimal conversions were not built.
Can I check these patches into the master branch for GCC 11?
The 3 patches are:
#1: Fix __sprintfkf prototype to match between .h and .c files;
#2: Eliminate including stdio.h in _sprintfkf.c; (and)
#3: Disable building _Float128 <-> Decimal conversions if
--disable-decimal-float.
