Subject: musl + PowerPC + GCC 5

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Hello,

I am currently attempting to build GCC 5 for PowerPC, linked to musl.
 Note that this is not a cross-build, or a 'host is not target' build,
or anything resembling that.  I have the cross-compiler from PowerPC
glibc to PowerPC musl already completed.  I have built all the other
necessary utilities using it that I need (bash, coreutils, etc).  I
can chroot to the target and run programs linked to musl.

However, I cannot for the life of me compile GCC with --host musl
- --target musl.  I've done this successfully with x86_32, x86_64,
ARMv7, and MIPS, so I know that it is indeed possible to do this with
other architectures.  But it doesn't seem possible on PowerPC.

Compiler output is:

If you will notice, there's... some wacky stuff going on.  Note how
- -mlong-double-64 is shown twice and -mlong-double-128 is shown once.
I have specified dozens of different ./configure lines in a vain
attempt to force it to use the long-double-64 that musl requires.

GCC 6 is not an option for me due to multiple C++ breakages.

As this requires almost two hours to get to the failure point
(building on native hardware, a dual 970fx @ 1.8GHz), it has begun to
annoy me trying dozens of different options and waiting days to find
it still failing.

If anyone can point me to somewhere that specifies the *actual*
parameters I need to make GCC 5 build correctly when --host and
- --target are powerpc-linux-musl, it would be deeply appreciated.

For interest, this is the current ./configure line I am passing
(though as I said before, I've tried dozens):

/usr/src/sys-devel/gcc-5.4.0-r2/work/gcc-5.4.0/configure
- --host=powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl --target=powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl
- --build=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
- --bindir=/usr/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/gcc-bin/5.4.0
- --includedir=/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/5.4.0/include
- --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-data/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/5.4.0
- --mandir=/usr/share/gcc-data/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/5.4.0/man
- --infodir=/usr/share/gcc-data/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/5.4.0/info
- --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl/5.4.0/incl
ude/g++-v5

- --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext

- --disable-libmudflap --enable-libssp --disable-libcilkrts
- --disable-libmpx --disable-vtable-verify --disable-libvtv --enable-lto
- --without-isl --disable-libsanitizer

And this is the CFLAGS I am using:

CFLAGS="-O2 -mlong-double-64 -ggdb -fno-omit-frame-pointer -pipe"

though I have tried with and without -pipe, -fno-omit-frame-pointer,
and -mlong-double-64, and each combination thereof.


Thank you for any pointers in advance...

Best,
