Hi,
We've got a scenario with a combination of old hardware, gcc-8 and
binutils where gcc will ICE during it's selftest. This ICE was exposed
when the builtin processing for better #pragma support was added, where
we no longer skip builtin initialization based on the current mask.
Per the bug report and assorted debug, the ICE occurrs when building
the gcc-8 branch on a 970* based system with an old binutils. (gcc-9 and
newer is OK. binutils 2.34 is reported to allow success).
The attached patch adds a clause to the builtin initialization to skip
initialization of a builtin when the builtin mask is set but the icode
value is zero. The subsequent assert check remains in place.
I've successfully tested this on a yellowdog (970mp) based system.
Mikael has confirmed this allows success on his system.
OK for gcc-8 ?
Thanks,
-Will
