Bug ID: 113648
Summary: Cross compiler cannot find cross binutils on macOS
Product: gcc
Version: 13.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: galaxyking0419 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
According to https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html, the gcc should find
binutils components (e.g., as, ld, objdump) using rule:
- Unless GCC is being built with a cross compiler, check the
libexec/gcc/target/version directory. libexec defaults to exec-prefix/libexec;
exec-prefix defaults to prefix, which defaults to /usr/local unless overridden
by the --prefix=pathname switch described above. target is the target system
triple, such as ‘sparc-sun-solaris2.11’, and version denotes the GCC version,
such as 3.0. If the target system is the same that you are building on, check
operating system specific directories.
- Check in the PATH for a tool whose name is prefixed by the target system
triple.
- Check in the PATH for a tool whose name is not prefixed by the target system
triple, if the host and target system triple are the same (in other words, we
use a host tool if it can be used for the target as well).
My setup following the target system triple convention:
[u@mbp d]% whereis aarch64-linux-gnu-ld
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: /Volumes/Toolchain/openwrt/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ld
But the aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc still picks the macOS as, ld etc:
[u@mbp d]% aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -print-prog-name=ld
ld
[u@mbp d]% aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -print-prog-name=as
as
[u@mbp d]% aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -print-prog-name=objdump
objdump
