I sometimes get an [error][1] during "make crossworld" depending on the value of "CXXFLAGS" set in "/etc/make.conf".
[1]: " ===> gnu/usr.bin/binutils224/libgold ===> gnu/usr.bin/binutils224/gold install -C -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 ld.gold \ /usr/obj/usr/src/ctools_i386_i386/usr/libexec/binutils224/elf *** Error code 71 Stop. make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils224/gold *** Error code 1 " Following the example "make.conf" file, available in "/etc/defaults" (and "/usr/share/examples/etc/defaults"), I put together a little script that would construct an "/etc/make.conf" with several different values for "CXXFLAGS" and then "make crossworld". I let it run last night (just goofing off) and got this: | For every run, "/etc/make.conf" contains: | |-------------------------------------------| | git_UNSET=CONTRIB PERL DIALOG | | STRIP= -s | | INSTALL= install -C | | THREAD_LIB?= thread_xu | | STATIC_LOCALES= UTF8 | | GROFF_PAPER_SIZE= letter | | PRINTERDEVICE= ascii | | DOC_LANG= en_US.ISO8859-1 | | CPUTYPE= k7 | | CFLAGS= -O -pipe | | COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe | |-------------------------------------------| | When "/etc/make.conf" also contains: | "make crossworld" ends with: | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| | CXXFLAGS+= -fmemoize-lookups \ | [Error][1] | | -fsave-memoized | | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| | CXXFLAGS= -fmemoize-lookups \ | [Error][1] | | -fsave-memoized | | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| | No "CXXFLAGS" entry | Success | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| | CXXFLAGS+= -O -pipe | Success | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| | CXXFLAGS= -O -pipe | [Error][1] | |--------------------------------------+------------------------------| There were additional runs with "LDVER" and "WORLD_LDVER" explicitly set to either "ld.bfd" or "ld.gold" - this made no difference in the success or failure of the build. I'm not sure what to make of this. For the short term, it might be nice to have a "NO_GOLD=true" option that can be set in "/etc/make.conf" to avoid building the gold linker altogether.
