Assorted fixes

[Thorsten Glaser]

Ah well, even more:

AC_PREREQ(2.59) is wrong, 2.59 does not substitute @YFLAGS@ with
AC_PROG_YACC automatically. I see you use 2.61; 2.64 also works,
as Debian doesn’t package 2.61 any more (the BSDs do, so please,
keep it at 2.61 as newer versions require GNU m4).

Please use “cvs export”, not “cvs co”, to generate the nightly
snapshots, so they do not contain the CVS/ subdirectories any
more.

Thanks,

Hi,

hereby I submit a few patches I made during Debian packaging
of pcc-current (not yet complete due to the previous issue):

- branding.diff
Allow packagers to specify the version pcc reports
itself as, originally from MirPorts, already submitted
earlier; this patch is rebased against pcc CVS HEAD

- fix-buildsystem.diff
Part of an earlier submitted patch that was not yet
committed: add support code for cross-compiling pcc,
i.e. using host compiler for things like mkext (not
yet tested; LDFLAGS_FOR_BUILD added recently), rebased
against pcc CVS HEAD

- fix-crt1.diff
NEW: Let pcc on Linux with glibc find crt1.o again

There are more patches upcoming and/or planned:

- Add support for Multi-Arch (things like /lib/i386-linux-gnu/)
- Possibly add support for µClibc on Linux (tested with OpenADK
on MIPS last year already)
- More bugfixes?

Note that Linux/PowerPC /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is almost certainly
wrong; the Debian porterbox has /lib/ld.so.1 as non-multiarch
compatibility symlink in place but no ld-linux or something.

Have ARM and HPPA just never been tested on Linux systems, or
will they not work (as in, known)? Which ARM, anyway?

bye,
//mirabilos

This is not portable enough. Solaris for example bails out on it.
Please reimplement it.

Huh? GNU autoconf uses this construct all the time…

Post by Anders Magnusson
Please reimplement it.

-versstr="\"$PACKAGE_STRING `cat $srcdir/DATESTAMP` for $target\""
+test -n "$MPVERSION" && MPVERSION=", $MPVERSION"
+versstr="\"$PACKAGE_STRING `cat $srcdir/DATESTAMP` for $target$MPVERSION\""

This should do the trick (and no, the test cannot be put inside
U+0060 in versstr assignment because "…`…"…"…`…" is not portable,
neither escaped nor not).

I do not run autoconf on Solaris, but I do want to be able to run
configure :-)

Good, thanks, applied!
