Hi,
The build fails with the following message: ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_DISP32: file .libs/libstdc++.lax/libsupc++convenience.a/vterminate.o: symbol <unknown>: offset 0xfccd33ad is non-aligned
Probably a Sun 'as' bug, a similar problem was reported on Solaris 7: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html
GCC 4.0.0 is known to bootstrap on Solaris 8 with: as: Sun WorkShop 6 03/08/05 Compiler Common 6.0 Patch 114802-01 ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.8-1.285
OK, I guess the latest compilers from Sun ship with a better "as". Unfortunately I'm stuck with Sun Studio One 7 for now. Maybe it should be documented that a recent version of "as" is needed by gcc.
Would it be possible to document this requirement in the platform pages? http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#sparc-sun-solaris2
It is already documented in *-*-solaris2* that 2.15 is broken on the platform.
Oh, I don't know how I missed that, sorry. I guess I was looking for the error message, not for the solution.
Therefore : 1) This seems to be x86-specific, so I would suggest moving this paragraph from sparc-sun-solaris2* to i?86-*-solaris2*
The problem is present on SPARC so the paragraph can't be moved. Not sure whether the bug ID is correct though.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it looks like either the problem is not present on SPARC, or the comment is wrong: patch 4910101 is for x86 platforms only.
In any case this looks wrong and needs to be fixed.
