 John Ericson | sterni (he/him): I think i did? | 21:51:46 |
| John Ericson | for libc in gnu musl; nix-build ~/src/nixpkgs-7 --arg crossSystem "{ config = \"aarch64-unknown-linux-$libc\"; useGccNg = true; }" -A gccNgPackages.libgcc; end works for glibc | 21:53:09 |
| John Ericson | if you go to #oftc#gcc:matrix.org you can see my convo | 21:53:24 |
| John Ericson | just figured out the musl problem | 21:53:32 |
| John Ericson | sterni (he/him): ok pushed the musl fix | 22:18:59 |
| John Ericson | both libgcc build now | 22:19:05 |
|  sterni changed their display name from sterni (he/him) to sterni[m]. | 22:21:29 |
| sterni changed their display name from sterni[m] to sterni. | 22:21:47 |
| sterni | hm okay, I never tried compiling with useGccNg and crossSystem before | 22:25:21 |

| John Ericson | sterni: alexfmpe: OK updated the status on the PR | 05:05:08 |
| John Ericson | Now that we are "into the normal libaries" passed libgcc and libc | 05:05:29 |
| John Ericson | * Now that we are "into the normal libaries" past libgcc and libc | 05:05:38 |
| John Ericson | It might be easier for others to work on | 05:05:53 |
 alexfmpe | So I could try adding say libssp? | 14:33:08 |
| John Ericson | yeah | 14:47:58 |
|  siraben changed their display name from siraben (he/him) to siraben. | 16:15:50 |
| John Ericson | alexfmpe: added libssp | 21:01:53 |
| alexfmpe | oh that was fast | 21:02:18 |
| alexfmpe | I was rebasing my mingw ghc PR on top of sterni 's gold rewiring | 21:02:46 |
| alexfmpe | and started adding those changes to non-8.10 ghc | 21:03:07 |
| alexfmpe | but it looks liike mingw ghc 8.8 was already non-building | 21:03:21 |
| alexfmpe | so I can't quite verify I'm not breaking it more | 21:03:30 |
| alexfmpe | I'm now building 8.8 without my changes to confirm the error is unrelated (it sure looks like it https://pastebin.com/7FHK1Q0s)
but if that still fails, and fixing 8.8 isn't simple, what's the usual way to proceed here?
be conservative about touching 8.8, since I might be breaking it more, or be conservative about divergence, and do the same changes that fixed 8.10? | 21:06:16 |
| John Ericson | alexfmpe: well i did it for aarch64 linux | 21:07:48 |
| John Ericson | a.k.a. easy stuff | 21:07:54 |
| John Ericson | mine has the position independent code issues | 21:08:08 |
| John Ericson | which need to be fixed even if one doesn't care about C++ (and they first manifested when building libstdc++) | 21:08:34 |
| alexfmpe | heh, you're getting hti by PIC a lot recently | 21:08:51 |
| John Ericson | hah | 21:08:59 |
| John Ericson | well this should be a lot simpler because normal platforms and standard compliant linkers | 21:09:18 |
