Summary: Review Request: gpc - The GNU Pascal compiler https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=181997 ------- Additional Comments From tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx 2007-09-05 21:50 EST ------- OK, here's an update which solves the build ID issue by including a patch from Fedora's gcc which tells the front ends to pass --build-id to the linker by default. Also, I removed the build dependency on texinfo, as this simply regenerates the info files and brings back all of the file-not-utf8 complaints from rpmlint. So the only remaining issue is PPC. I did some more poking and I understand why the compiler fails to build things (it neglects to pick up the proper paths for crtbegin.o and libgcc.a in the arguments passed to the linker) but I still don't understand why this works on even PPC64 yet fails on PPC32. I have one more idea to try, however. I also want to see if Jakub will have a quick look over this package. I know he doesn't want to incorporate GPC into the main GCC package, and I think that would be a bad idea as long as GPC development continues to lag GCC development. But the "build gcc&gpc and then delete the gcc bits" approach seems to be the only alternative, even though it's not very pretty.
