My cross-build attempts were failing to build ld.bfd for use for building LIB32 for powerpc64 until I made the following change:
# svnlite diff gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile Index: gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile =================================================================== --- gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile (revision 356187) +++ gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile (working copy) @@ -15,7 +15,16 @@ # GNU binutils 2.17.50 ld. # Except if we are on powerpc, that needs the ld from binutils to link # 32-bit binaries. -.if ${MK_LLD_IS_LD} == "no" || ${TARGET} == "powerpc" +# +# Localized variation of some gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile.inc0 +# content: +.if defined(TARGET_ARCH) +HACK_TARGET_CPUARCH=${TARGET_ARCH:${__TO_CPUARCH}} +.else +HACK_TARGET_CPUARCH=${MACHINE_CPUARCH} +.endif +# +.if ${MK_LLD_IS_LD} == "no" || ${HACK_TARGET_CPUARCH} == "powerpc" SUBDIR.${MK_BINUTILS}+=ld .endif Otherwise, gnu/usr.bin/binutils/ld/Makefile was not used to build ld.bfd and the build ending up stopping, reporting the lack of anything at the path it specified to clang for executing the 32-bit linker. (No place else under gnu/ was using ${TARGET} . Many places were using ${MACHINE_CPUARCH} . But straight use of ${MACHINE_CPUARCH} here did not work for the context. Thus, I went for the more general code from Makefile.inc0 instead, reusing what others had already figured out.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
