<title>Re-adjusting the toolchain</title>
|
|
<?dbhtml filename="adjustingtoolchain.html" dir="chapter06"?>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now that the new C libraries have been installed, it's time to re-adjust
|
|
our toolchain. We'll adjust it so that it will link any newly compiled program
|
|
against the new C libraries. Basically, this is the reverse of what we did
|
|
in the "Locking in" stage in the beginning of the previous chapter.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first thing to do is to adjust the linker. For this we retained the
|
|
source and build directories from the second pass over Binutils. Install the
|
|
adjusted linker by running the following from within the
|
|
<filename class="directory">binutils-build</filename> directory:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>make -C ld install</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>From now on every compiled program will link <emphasis>only</emphasis>
|
|
against the libraries in <filename>/usr/lib</filename> and <filename>/lib
|
|
</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can now remove the Binutils source and build directories.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The next thing to do is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points
|
|
to the new dynamic linker. Just like earlier on, we use a sed to accomplish
|
|
this:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>SPECFILE=/tools/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs
|
|
sed -e 's@/tools/lib/ld.so.1@/lib/ld.so.1@g' \
|
|
-e 's@/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
|
|
$SPECFILE > newspecfile
|
|
mv newspecfile $SPECFILE
|
|
unset SPECFILE</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Again, cutting and pasting the above is recommended. And just like
|
|
before, it is a good idea to check the specs file to ensure the intended
|
|
changes were actually made.</para>
|
|
|
|
<caution><para>It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure that the
|
|
basic functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain are working
|
|
as expected. For this we are going to perform a simple sanity check:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
|
|
gcc dummy.c
|
|
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors, and the
|
|
output of the last command will be:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><screen>[Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.2]</screen></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you did not receive the output as shown above, then something is
|
|
seriously wrong. You will need to investigate and retrace your steps to find
|
|
out where the problem is and correct it. There is no point in continuing
|
|
until this is done. Most likely something went wrong with the specs file
|
|
amendment above. Note especially that <filename>/lib</filename> now appears as
|
|
the prefix of our dynamic linker. Of course, if you are working on a platform
|
|
where the name of the dynamic linker is something other than
|
|
<filename>ld-linux.so.2</filename>, then the output will be slightly
|
|
different.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you are satisfied that all is well, clean up the test files:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>rm dummy.c a.out</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
</caution>
