Hello, I am trying to build GCC 11.1.0 with the Go language enabled on Solaris 11.4 on Sparc. The important error message seems to be this one: ../.././gotools/../libgo/go/cmd/go/main.go:10:16: error: /export/home/mwilson/gcc111build/gcc-11.1.0/host-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/gcc/context.o exists but does not contain any Go export data 10 | "context" This is when make is running: gmake[2]: Entering directory '/export/home/mwilson/gcc111build/gcc-11.1.0/host-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/gotools' /export/home/mwilson/gcc111build/gcc-11.1.0/host-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/gcc/gccgo -B/export/home/mwilson/gcc111build/gcc-11.1.0/host-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/gcc/ -B/opt/gcc111/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/bin/ -B/opt/gcc111/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/lib/ -isystem /opt/gcc111/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/include -isystem /opt/gcc111/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/sys-include -g -O2 -I ../sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/libgo -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -L ../sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/libgo -L ../sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/libgo/.libs -o go ../.././gotools/../libgo/go/cmd/go/alldocs.go ../.././gotools/../libgo/go/cmd/go/go11.go ../.././gotools/../libgo/go/cmd/go/main.go ../sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/libgo/libgotool.a Additional Information ---------------------- Configured with: OBJCOPY=/opt/gcc111/bin/objcopy; export OBJCOPY ./configure --build=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11 \ --prefix=/opt/gcc111 \ --enable-languages=c,c++,go The objcopy at /opt/gcc111/bin/objcopy was freshly built from binutils 2.36.1. The existing GCC version on the system is 7.3.0. I originally tried building without binutils/objcopy available, as it is not documented as a required component for building on solaris/sparc64. However, that leads to errors; it is apparently an undocumented requirement when you include Go language support. (See: <https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-help/2013-10/msg00100.html>) So I built binutils and put it at the beginning of my path. The build fails early when using the binutils ld instead of the system ld. Getting rid of all GNU binutils components except objcopy gets through the C and C++ builds successfully, but then we are left with the error above when it's working on Go. objdump -h on the .../host-sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11/gcc/context.o file shows: file format elf64-sparc-sol2 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 00000074 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000150 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE 1 .bss 00000008 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000001c8 2**3 ALLOC 2 .debug_frame 00000068 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000001c8 2**3 CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY, DEBUGGING 3 .eh_frame 00000058 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000230 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA 4 .debug_info 00008674 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000288 2**0 CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY, DEBUGGING 5 .debug_abbrev 00000577 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000088fc 2**0 CONTENTS, READONLY, DEBUGGING 6 .debug_loclists 0000005a 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00008e73 2**0 CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY, DEBUGGING 7 .debug_aranges 00000030 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00008ecd 2**0 CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY, DEBUGGING 8 .debug_line 00000727 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00008efd 2**0 CONTENTS, RELOC, READONLY, DEBUGGING 9 .debug_str 000000e4 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00009624 2**0 CONTENTS, READONLY, DEBUGGING 10 .comment 00000059 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000a408 2**0 CONTENTS, READONLY Has anyone successfully built GCC with --enable-languages=c,c++,go on Solaris on Sparc and can let me know the set of prerequisites that works?
