GCC 3.4.4 is released!

[Xake]

Still 3.4.3 did go directly into ~* when that came. Why did not 3.4.4? I mean it just another bugfix-release of the 3.4.x-branch, so why is 3.4.4 diffrent?

Maybe gcc-3.4.3 is too stable right now, and the devs are concentrating on gcc-4.0.*, or on binutils, or glibc, or their summer holidays. Maybe when we all start to send in bug reports stating that there are no bugs we can achieve that gcc-3.4.4 becomes ~.

I use gcc-3.4.4 myself, and reemerged great parts of my system(besides glibc). It seems to be stable and fast.

I have not yet tested with 3.4.3 if the this problem exists with that, but try do an

Code: Select all

FEATURES="maketest" emerge =gcc-3.4.4

after you have emerged 3.4.4 and you will notice some problems. However I don't remeber it failed during the test when I from a pure 2005.0-stage3 (gcc-3.3.5) emerged gcc-3.4.4.
This with CFLAGS="-pipe -march=pentium2 -O2"

And about GCC-4.0.x: I don't think that many gentoo-devs dedicates a big amount of time trying make that thing work. It is yet too unstable upstream to be of any intrest for more people than those with too much sparetime.
Maybe when 4.1.x hits the streets that may possible be a intresting thing to play with, but right now 4.x is more a glimps of things to come.

I guess the devs have some more plans for it first before it's put into unstable. It has already been changed several times since it ws put into the tree. Check the cvs log for the ebuild:

Finally it's in ~arch!

[thurisaz]

when I'm updating from gcc 3.4.3 to 3.4.4 what else need I to do after this? Something like "revdep-rebuild" or re-emerging any other stuff? Because after I updated the kernel, all my third-party-kernel-modules like vmware and nvidia needed to be re-compiled in order to work correctly. Are there any similar procedures for a gcc update too?

P.S.: my system is a very up-to-date stage 1 installation...

Nope, you should not need to do anything like that, since it is a minor upgrade and it did not change any API/ABI. When you updated the kernel you need to re-emerge 3rd party modules simply because they are not present in the new kernel's modules directory (they had been installed in the old kernel's one).

I think you should have a look at the diffrence between CFLAGS and USE-flags.
Looking at your 'emerge info' your CFLAGS seems like fine (stable) things so don't temper with the right now.

Maybe going ~amd64 for at least binutils may help?

Yes I do not do anything, it crashes at the same place.
It did change because I update packages such as glibc and I tried changing my USE.

I have updated everything listed in emerge -pu --deep system but it keeps failing.

I appreciate your help since I do not find relevant topics anywhere...

I'm having the same problem. It's a fresh install, so I don't have any old version of GCC to fall back on. I need to get this system built before I leave for college in a week, and right now it won't bootstrap.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to include what I've done.
GCC Segfaulted trying to build GCC 3.4.4. I was trying to use NPTL, and I saw it segfault on linuxthreads, so I added the nptlonly use flag. This got it beyond GCC, but it died with glibc. At this point I figured I couldn't bootstrap, so I skipped that step and grabbbed stage 2 and masked glibc and gcc from updating. That got me through emerging system, but it segfaulted trying to build the kernel, so I'm still stuck.

[bluesky74656]

Update: I took Xake's advice and went ~amd64 for binutils. That got my kernel to compile. I'm not content to leave well enough alone, so I'm going to reformat and try to go with stage 1 with the updated version of binutils. I'll let y'll know how I make out.

[bluesky74656]

Update: gcc just failed on the bootstrap, same error. It looks as if the bootstrap script is still using the old version of binutils, even though I manually emerged the new one. Is there a way I can force the script to find the new one?

I just added ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" to my make.conf, we'll see how that works.

[chevdor]

i did not try this... it should work with the keyword amd64 so i doubt it will help but please let me know...
I tried re emerging glibc with -multilib (I saw somewhere someone fixing his problem with this...) they tried re emerging gcc with still no success and the same error.

[bluesky74656]

All this is doing is fighting symptoms and not the problem I got the system to bootstrap by manually emerging binutils, gcc, and glibc with ~amd64, but the compiler just segfaults on some other package in system. I'm pretty much stumped here, and because of my time crunch I may need to just give up and go for a binary distro, at least temporarily.

[chevdor]

Hello folks,
I finally got gcc 3.4.4 to compile on my amd64.

here my current make.conf (the one that works):
Please notice: most of the CFLAGS line is commented OUT

Code: Select all

Initially, I tried going from -O2 to -O0 (I saw some folks had success with that). No result.
Then I commented out all the flags and it worked.
I will now try re adding some flags to see what causes the problem. If you have some clues about which flag could fail the compilation, please let me know, it'll make my tries faster.

Hope this helps.
