I have a question about the libgfortran configure script. I am trying to build the fortran language for the mips-mti-elf target (which is built with newlib) and as part of the configure script for libgfortran it is trying to check for localtime_r and other functions. These functions exist on my target but the configure script thinks they don't because the GCC compile and link done in the configure script doesn't include any linker script options.
So I get: % install-mips-mti-elf/bin/mips-mti-elf-gcc time.c -o x /local/home/sellcey/nightly/install-mips-mti-elf/lib/gcc/mips-mti-elf/4.9.0/../../../../mips-mti-elf/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol __start; defaulting to 0000000000400098 /tmp/ccnihmPO.o: In function `main': time.c:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `localtime_r' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status If I add '-Tmti32.ld' then it compiles cleanly: % install-mips-mti-elf/bin/mips-mti-elf-gcc -Tmti32.ld time.c -o x I don't have any problems like this building the C++ library. I guess it is because that library doesn't use AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like libgfortran does. The actual error I get when building is caused by libgfortran/intrinsics/time_1.h defining localtime_r as a static function (because HAVE_LOCALTIME_R is not set) after seeing a non-static definition from include/time.h (part of newlib). As anyone run into this or know how to fix it? Steve Ellcey sell...@mips.com
