Re: make aout-to-elf on -current?
I had to try this due to an unfortunate 'accident', and no, it currently does not work. The aout assembler complains about a '.section' tag in the assembly output of contrib/gcc/cp/tinfo2.cc. You have to elfify your system with a non-egcs compiler before you can move onto using egcs to make the world.

Please excuse my ignorance, but why does make aout-to-elf require the -CURRENT compiler to produce a.out binaries? make aout-to-elf moves a working set of a.out libraries to ---/lib/aout, so doesn't that cover the needs? -- -- David(obr...@nuxi.com -or- obr...@freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

No. make aout-to-elf builds a.out versions of everything first, then uses them to build the elf versions. Correct. Older compilers would not be able to generate elf targets, so we have to update the compiler first.

Correct. Older compilers would not be able to generate elf targets,

Right. But the 2.x system should build the compiler (and bootstrap libs)
statically and install them in /usr/obj//tmp. Then the make world
should stop dead in its tracks and use the compiler in /usr/obj//tmp
[which itself is an a.out binary] to start a new make world where the
output are ELF images. I've glossed over a little bit here -- I think
maybe we need a /usr/src/Makefile.aout-to-elf and the upgrade path is
now:
make -f Makefile.aout-to-elf {,buildworld,installworld}
The system actually makes a complete world first, because of arcane
reasons better left unexplained,
True.. and I bumped into the same mess in the compiler upgrade
lest one would gradually become insane.
As I did in the EGCS bootstrap. ;-)
