Merged 🎉 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/282517 Nice, now I no longer need an ugly hack to build everything with RV64GC_Zba_Zbb (old bootstrap's GCC was too old). | 19:40:47 |

 rdg | hi, I'm building a RISC-V NixOS system for qemu without compressed instructions using this overlay http://sprunge.us/SzNRff that injects -march=rv64g via NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE_riscv64_unknown_linux_gnu | 11:24:36 |
| rdg | to ensure there are no compressed instructions I enabled a trap in QEMU that aborts if a compressed instruction is used | 11:25:04 |
| rdg | it boots fine and reaches userspace, but there is a problem in libgcc_s.so, which causes a SIGILL | 11:25:32 |
| rdg | I'm not sure if this method works for libgcc_s as it may end up being built by the new compiler, ignoring my -march hack | 11:27:04 |
| rdg | any ideas? | 11:27:33 |

any ideas? Have you tried setting gcc.arch in the targetSystem option for nixpkgs?
I'd share some specific code, but I can't find it. I think it might only be on my RISC-V system. | 13:07:12 |

any ideas? If you're compiling natively (YMMV for cross-compilation), the following should work, since it seems to be used by all gcc compilers, including when compiling gcc itself from the bootstrap gcc.
nixpkgs.config.gcc.arch = "rv64g";

| rdg | Alex: I'm cross compiling, so I tried adding it in the nixpkgs.crossSystem.gcc.arch but I don't see it with NIX_DEBUG=1 being added anywhere | 13:27:30 |
| rdg | for native compilation we had successfully used nixpkgs.localSystem.gcc.arch in other tests | 13:28:13 |
