We need to enable decimal float here or MPFR will be built w/o decimal
float support. Then 2 of 183 tests will be skipped, and this will also
cause an ICA issue.
Q: Why we need decimal float in pass 1?
A: We need pass-1 GCC with decimal float support to build decimal float
routines in pass-2 libgcc.
Fix make-4.4 bug.
Update to wheel-0.38.4 (Python Module).
Update to texinfo-7.0.
Update to sysvinit-3.05.
Update to shadow-4.13.
Update to sed-4.9.
Update to meson-0.64.0.
Update to linux-6.0.7.
Update to elfutils-0.188.
Update to bc-6.1.1.
Committing only the commands for now, so that others can test the
build. TODO:
- add command explanations
- add changelog
- comment on failing tests in binutils and gcc
They are really harmful. In Binutils pass 2, libstdc++.la caused the
building system to use host /usr/lib/libstdc++.so for gprofng. We now
has disabled gprofng for pass 2, but the similar issue also exists in
GCC pass 2. In a normal LFS build, the building system silently uses
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so (I guess it does not blow up simply because some
blind luck); in a real cross build (x86 -> ARM for example) the build
will fail.
Remove the .la files to fix this issue. Instead of only modifying
clfs-ng, it makes more sense to apply the change for trunk: though
the build does not fail, using host library is still a contamination.
Presently we let the build system generate static C++ bindings, and
then we remove them. Note that we could also prevent generating
any C++ binding, since nothing in LFS/BLFS use them, but it seems to
me that generating the shared ones is closer to what is done for
other packages.
This is the issue preventing us from cross-compiling libstdc++ in
Chapter 6. By fixing this issue we can remove a seperate pass 2 for
libstdc++ and simplify the instruction.
The upstream fix will be released in 11.3 and 12.0, so we can remove the
first sed upgrading gcc next time.
A very old libtool copy (2009-11-29) is shipped in binutils tarball. It
does not support sysroot, so the cross-built binutils binaries may link
to libraries from the host distro, if certain libraries are available.
The ideal solution should be updating libtool, as libtool-2.4.6 (in LFS)
has sysroot support. However, updating libtool for binutils is not
trivial: it would require to rerun autoconf and binutils building system
sticks to autoconf-2.69. Another issue is the sysroot support for
libtool has introduced a configure option "--with-sysroot", which
conflicts with an already existing option with the same name in
GCC and binutils building system (we are using the GCC/binutils version
of --with-sysroot in chapter 5).
GCC building system has --with-build-sysroot (we are using this for GCC
pass 2) for this issue. Binutils copied GCC building system, but it
does not respect --with-build-sysroot.
So for now we just edit libtool code to prevent "-L/usr/lib" in
$LFS_TGT_gcc command line. It should fix the issue about host libiberty
(reported in #lfs-support) as well, but it still need to be confirmed by
someone having such a host.
Tested with a jhalfs run on LFS.
