For some reason, presumably historical, the `install-gnatlib' target for the default multilib is invoked twice, once via the `ada.install-common' target in `gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in' invoked from gcc/ and again via the `install-libada' target in libada/.
Apart from doing the same twice this is actually harmful in sufficiently parallelized `make' invocation, as the removal of old files performed within the `install-gnatlib' recipe in the former case actually races with the installation of new files done in the latter case, causing the recipe to fail and abort, however non-fatally, having not completed the installation of all the built files needed for the newly-built compiler to work correctly. This can be observed with a native `x86_64-linux-gnu' bootstrap: make[4]: Entering directory '.../gcc/ada' rm -rf .../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10.0.0/adalib rm: cannot remove '.../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10.0.0/adalib': Directory not empty make[4]: *** [gcc-interface/Makefile:512: install-gnatlib] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '.../gcc/ada' make[3]: *** [.../gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in:853: install-gnatlib] Error 2 make[2]: [.../gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in:829: ada.install-common] Error 2 (ignored) which then causes missing files to be reported when an attempt is made to use the newly-installed non-functional compiler to build a `riscv-linux-gnu' cross-compiler: (cd ada/bldtools/sinfo; gnatmake -q xsinfo ; ./xsinfo sinfo.h ) error: "ada.ali" not found, "ada.ads" must be compiled error: "s-memory.ali" not found, "s-memory.adb" must be compiled gnatmake: *** bind failed. /bin/sh: ./xsinfo: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [.../gcc/ada/Make-generated.in:45: ada/sinfo.h] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '.../gcc' make[1]: *** [Makefile:4369: all-gcc] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '...' make: *** [Makefile:965: all] Error 2 Depending on timing `.../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10.0.0/adainclude' may cause an installation failure instead and the resulting compiler may be non-functional in a different way. Remove the extraneous `install-gnatlib' invocation from within gcc/ then as all the gnatlib handling ought to be done in libada/ nowadays. gcc/ada/ * gcc-interface/Make-lang.in (ada.install-common): Remove `install-gnatlib' invocation. --- gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in | 8 -------- 1 file changed, 8 deletions(-) gcc-lang-no-install-gnatlib.diff Index: gcc/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in =================================================================== --- gcc.orig/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in +++ gcc/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Make-lang.in @@ -840,14 +840,6 @@ doc/gnat-style.pdf: ada/gnat-style.texi $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) gnatdll$(exeext) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/gnatdll$(exeext); \ fi -# -# Finally, install the library -# - -if [ -f gnat1$(exeext) ] ; \ - then \ - $(MAKE) $(COMMON_FLAGS_TO_PASS) $(ADA_FLAGS_TO_PASS) install-gnatlib; \ - fi - install-gnatlib: $(MAKE) -C ada $(COMMON_FLAGS_TO_PASS) $(ADA_FLAGS_TO_PASS) install-gnatlib$(LIBGNAT_TARGET)
