Hello,
I would like to test a GCC patch on the platform it is supposed to
affect (PowerPC). In order to to this, I'm using the following
documentation:
https://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html
However, after fresh CVS checkouts (even without my changes on the GCC
tree) and the corresponding combined tree creation, I cannot manage to
get a build:
$ ../combined/configure --prefix=$TOP/install --enable-languages=c,c++
--target=powerpc-eabisim --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-checking
[runs fine]
$ make
[...]
make[4]: Entering directory `/.../build/binutils'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../combined/binutils -I.

../../combined/binutils/bucomm.c:141:11: error: expected '=', ',', ';',
'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'VPARAMS'
make[4]: *** [bucomm.o] Error 1
The use of an undefined macro (VPARAMS) looks quite strange to me: is it
a known issue? Or maybe is the documentation obsolete?
Thanks in advance!
