make bootstrap4-lean failed with 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 with crtfastmath.o comparison. The last gcc version I can make bootstrap4-lean was 4.3.3 (and before that, 4.3.1) which was what I tried building 4.4.x with.
Strangely "make" (which I understand do a 3 stage boostrap) doesn't have this problem, but fails further down with path length problems ( http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38251#c8 ). objdump -Dxzs ./prev-gcc/crtfastmath.o > prev-gcc-crtfastmath-dump objdump -Dxzs ./gcc/crtfastmath.o > gcc-crtfastmath-dump objdump -Dxzs /usr/local/lib/gcc/alphaev68-dec-osf5.1a/4.3.3/crtfastmath.o \ > gcc-4.3.3-crtfastmath-dump ------------- # diff prev-gcc-crtfastmath-dump gcc-crtfastmath-dump 2,3c2,3 < ./prev-gcc/crtfastmath.o: file format ecoff-littlealpha < ./prev-gcc/crtfastmath.o --- > ./gcc/crtfastmath.o: file format ecoff-littlealpha > ./gcc/crtfastmath.o 73c73 < 0030 31000000 02000204 00000000 00000000 1............... --- > 0030 01000000 02000204 00000000 00000000 ................ 103c103 < 30: 31 00 00 00 call_pal 0x31 --- > 30: 01 00 00 00 call_pal 0x1 -------------------- I also 'diff gcc-crtfastmath-dump gcc-4.3.3-crtfastmath-dump' - while I don't understand alpha assembler at all, the diff against with gcc 4.3.3 is mostly versioning, and gcc 4.3.3. also have call_pal 0x31. So it appears that bootstrap4-lean miscompile at the last stage? (i.e. prev-gcc/crtfastmath.o was correct, gcc/crtfastmath.o was wrong). Anybody can suggest how to take this forward? I am currently on 4.3.3, but am keen to heep the alpha port of gcc alive for as long as is feasible... -- Summary: [4.4 Regression] bootstrap4-lean failed crtfastmath.o comparision Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: htl10 at users dot sourceforge dot net GCC host triplet: alphaev68-dec-osf5.1a http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40894
