Bug ID: 22880
Summary: ./configure stalls forever if CC=clang
Product: binutils
Version: 2.30
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bjornpagen at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: 2.31
Target: x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl

Here is my patch to fix the issue
Binutils 2.29 and 2.30 both do not pass ./configure with CC=clang. When
./configure is run, it stalls when it reaches "checking whether the compiler
driver understands Ada...", and does not continue.
I have also identified the cause. The bug is caused by a test for an edge case
for a gcc earlier than gcc-3. If this snippet of code is remove from
./configure, then the configure process continues as normal and binutils is
compiled flawlessly.
[...]
# There is a bug in old released versions of GCC which causes the
# driver to exit successfully when the appropriate language module
# has not been installed. This is fixed in 2.95.4, 3.0.2, and 3.1.
# Therefore we must check for the error message as well as an
# unsuccessful exit.
# Other compilers, like HP Tru64 UNIX cc, exit successfully when
# given a .adb file, but produce no object file. So we must check
# if an object file was really produced to guard against this.
errors=`(${CC} -c conftest.adb) 2>&1 || echo failure`
if test x"$errors" = x && test -f conftest.$ac_objext; then
acx_cv_cc_gcc_supports_ada=yes
