(Reposting from gcc-help since I didn't get any replies there.)
I have a question about SYSROOT_SUFFIX_SPEC, MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES, and
multilib cross compilers. I was experimenting with a multilib cross compiler
and was using SYSROOT_SUFFIX_SPEC to specify different sysroots for different
multilibs, including big-endian and little-endian with 32 and 64 bits.
Now lets say I create two sysroots:
sysroot/be with a bin, lib, lib64, etc. directories
sysroot/le with the same set of directories
These would represent the sysroot of either a 64 bit big-endian or a 64 bit
little-endian linux system that could also run 32 bit executables.
I want my cross compiler to be able to generate code for either system.
So I set these macros and SPECs:
# m32 and be are defaults
MULTILIB_OPTIONS = m64 mel # In makefile fragment
MULTILIB_DIRNAMES = 64 el # In makefile fragment
MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES = m64=../lib64 # In makefile fragment
SYSROOT_SUFFIX_SPEC = %{mel:/el;:/eb} # in header file
What seems to be happening is that the search for system libraries
like libc.so work fine. It looks in sysroot/be/lib or sysroot/be/lib64
or in the equivalent little-endian directories. I.e. it searches:
<sysroot><sysroot-suffix>/lib # 32 bits
<sysroot><sysroot-suffix>/lib/../lib64 # 64 bits
But when it looks for libgcc_s.so or libstdc++.so it is searching:
<install-dir>/<target-name>/lib # 32 bits
<install_dir>/<target-name>/lib/../lib64 # 64 bits
It does not take into account SYSROOT_SUFFIX_SPEC. In fact when I
do my build with this setup the little-endian libgcc_s.so files wind
up overwriting the big-endian libgcc_s.so files so two of my
libgcc_s.so files are completely missing from the install area.
Shouldn't SYSROOT_SUFFIX_SPEC be used for the gcc shared libraries
as well as the sysroot areas? I.e. install and search for libgcc_s.so.1 in:
<install-dir><target-name><sysroot-suffix>/lib # 32 bits
<install-dir><target-name><sysroot-suffix>/lib/../lib64 # 64 bits
