You should be cross referencing with lfs-svn. Sometimes they have fixes. The x86_64 additions would be nice, but it's up to you if you want to add them (you'll need an x86_64 to be sure it works). I prefer 'make -C ld install'. > I haven't explored a solution that doesn't require keeping the build > directory from the previous chapter just yet.

December 16, 2008, I wrote a thread named 'testsuites'. The Glibc, Binutils, and GCC test suites can be fixed by using GCC pass1 specs, but they need to be modified to add -fno-stack-protector and -fno-PIE to cc1 and cc1plus specs. The -fstack-protector-all and -fPIE options are enabled in the gcc binary, not in the specs file, so they need to be disabled by command line or specs. This was done so that these options would be used by all compilers, not just C and C++. The fortify_source and linker options are enabled in the specs file, so using pass1 specs would disable them. Pass1 specs also use -fPIC, but as far as I can remember this has never caused test suite failures. The GCC test suite will probably use 'gcc/specs' instead of the system GCC specs. If that doesn't work then 'gcc/xgcc' needs to become a shell script pointing at the xgcc binary and using the --specs-file= option to point at the modified pass1 specs. Using the modified pass1 specs will test the hardened toolchain with a vanilla compiler, so there is absolutely no loss in quality or protection. Modifying the pass1 specs would use an Sed command to search for "cc1:" and "cc1plus:, and appending to the next new line. I don't remember how to do this from memory. It would be nice if upstream would add -fno-stack-protector and -fno-PIE to their test suite CFLAGS. They might be willing, but I don't have the first clue how to make a patch for it. robert
