 Artturin | In reply to @zimward:zimward.moe
can someone explain to me why i get a gcc that targets x86_64-linux in a derivation from a stdenv that has riscv32-none-elf as its target? $CC is that? | 18:55:02 |
| Artturin | Reproducer? | 18:55:07 |

there is also the correct gcc in there with the target triplet prefix (and is set as the CC, but when i add cflags it tries to use the incorrect gcc) | 19:01:33 |

| Artturin | gcc is always the for build gcc | 20:25:07 |
| Artturin | It doesn't exist when cross-compiling without buildPackages.stdenv.cc in depsBuildBuild | 20:25:29 |

 bake.monorail | Alyssa Ross: any chance you can take another look to #458935? John Ericson made some other suggestions that have been implemented. | 10:50:27 |

 alexfmpe | where do platform symbols like loongarch come from?
I hit symbol issues in libffi when trying to build cross-compiling GHC on several platforms
For instance, I'm getting https://github.com/libffi/libffi/blob/2263d6037f8ef6b8d5bef14117ad1a17c32a20b9/src/loongarch64/ffitarget.h#L66
which should mean __loongarch64 isn't defined, but loongarch is or the error on line 39 would trigger first
I see both of them in https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-toolchain-conventions-EN.html but don't know where they're supposed to come from | 12:07:45 |

 Puna | the compiler defines them based on the selected/configured target | 12:12:39 |
| Puna | https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/9a2402ad31db7507cb63905a8d98ce81769d9835/gcc/config/loongarch/loongarch-c.cc#L50-L56 | 12:13:18 |
| alexfmpe | so in this case GHC? or the c compiler? | 12:13:19 |
| Puna | well, whichever compiler is processing that file ig | 12:13:45 |
| alexfmpe | hmm the actual failing command seems to be gcc | 12:15:39 |
| alexfmpe | oh wait a second it does hit the line 39 error | 12:37:06 |
| alexfmpe | both errors show up actually | 12:37:19 |
| alexfmpe | so maybe ghc isn't configuring gcc properly for loongarch? | 12:37:33 |
