<para>If building on x86_64, change the default directory name for 64-bit
libraries to <quote>lib</quote>:</para>

<para>The GCC documentation recommends building GCC in a dedicated build directory:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -v build
cd build</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare GCC for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">SED=sed \
../configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-languages=c,c++ \
--disable-multilib \
--disable-bootstrap \
--with-system-zlib</userinput></screen>
<para>Note that for other languages, there are some prerequisites that
are not yet available. See the
<ulink url="&blfs-book;general/gcc.html">BLFS Book</ulink>
for instructions on how to build all of GCC's supported languages.</para>

<para>In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered
critical. Do not skip it under any circumstance.</para>
</important>
<para>One set of tests in the GCC test suite is known to exhaust the stack,
so increase the stack size prior to running the tests:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">ulimit -s 32768</userinput></screen>
<para>Test the results as a non-privileged user, but do not stop at errors:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">chown -Rv nobody .
su nobody -s /bin/bash -c "PATH=$PATH make -k check"</userinput></screen>
<para>To receive a summary of the test suite results, run:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">../contrib/test_summary</userinput></screen>
<para>For only the summaries, pipe the output through
<userinput>grep -A7 Summ</userinput>.</para>
<para>Results can be compared with those located at <ulink
url="&test-results;"/> and
<ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/"/>.</para>
<para>Six tests related to get_time are known to fail. These are
apparently related to the en_HK locale.</para>
<para>Two tests named lookup.cc and reverse.cc in experimental/net
are known to fail in LFS chroot environment because they require
/etc/hosts and iana-etc.</para>
<para>Two tests named pr57193.c and pr90178.c are known to fail.</para>
<para>A few unexpected failures cannot always be avoided. The GCC developers
are usually aware of these issues, but have not resolved them yet.
Unless the test results are vastly different from those at the above URL,
it is safe to continue.</para>
<!--note><para>
On some combinations of kernel configuration and AMD processors
there may be more than 1100 failures in the gcc.target/i386/mpx
tests (which are designed to test the MPX option on recent
Intel processors). These can safely be ignored on AMD
processors. These tests will also fail on Intel processors if MPX support
is not enabled in the kernel even though it is present on the CPU.
</para></note-->
<para>Install the package and remove an unneeded directory:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install
rm -rf /usr/lib/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/include-fixed/bits/</userinput></screen>
<para>The GCC build directory is owned by <systemitem class="username">
nobody</systemitem> now and the ownership of the installed header
directory (and its content) will be incorrect. Change the ownership to
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user and group:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">chown -v -R root:root \
/usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include{,-fixed}</userinput></screen>
<para>Create a symlink required by the <ulink
url="https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s09.html">FHS</ulink>
for "historical" reasons.</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv ../usr/bin/cpp /lib</userinput></screen>
<para>Many packages use the name <command>cc</command> to call the C
compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv gcc /usr/bin/cc</userinput></screen>
<para>Add a compatibility symlink to enable building programs with
Link Time Optimization (LTO):</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">install -v -dm755 /usr/lib/bfd-plugins
ln -sfv ../../libexec/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/liblto_plugin.so \
/usr/lib/bfd-plugins/</userinput></screen>
<para>Now that our final toolchain is in place, it is important to again ensure
that compiling and linking will work as expected. We do this by performing
the same sanity checks as we did earlier in the chapter:</para>

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crtn.o succeeded</computeroutput></screen>
<para>Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly,
the difference usually being the name of the directory
after <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/gcc</filename>. The important
thing to look for here is that <command>gcc</command> has found all three
<filename>crt*.o</filename> files under the
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directory.</para>

<para>Again, note that the directory named after your target triplet may be
different than the above, depending on your architecture.</para>
<!-- This appears to be obsolete
<note><para>As of version 4.3.0, GCC now unconditionally installs the
<filename>limits.h</filename> file into the private
<filename class="directory">include-fixed</filename> directory, and that
directory is required to be in place.</para></note>
