PPC problem on gmp 4.2.4_2

[garribald@…]

I am not sure how much this error is related to #9053 or simply the recurrence of #11800 so if this ticket is a dupe, i am sorry. Anyway, the revision 2 of gmp 4.2.4 stops with following error:

The log is from a re-run of install with -vd flag - should show the problem. But i can do a full run as well, if needed. Haven't tried it again without ccache, I don't think it has anything to do with the problem.

In your output, I do not see the configure phase.
The configure phase is where -force_cpusubtype_ALL should be set.
The fact that it is not seems to be the problem.

Could you please post the results of

sudo port clean gmp && sudo port -vd upgrade gmp

so the configure phase is included in the output.

As documented, I'd say that -force_cpusubtype_ALL fixes the symptom, not the bug. Indeed here the problem concerns the asm file, and the as(1) man page says:

       -force_cpusubtype_ALL
              By default, the assembler will produce the CPU subtype  ALL  for
              the  object file it is assembling if it finds no implementation-
              specific instructions.  Also  by  default,  the  assembler  will
              allow  implementation-specific instructions and will combine the
              CPU subtype for those specific implementations.   The  combining
              of  specific  implementations is architecture-dependent; if some
              combination of instructions is not allowed, an error  is  gener-
              ated.    With   the  optional  -force_cpusubtype_ALL  flag,  all
              instructions are allowed and the object file's CPU subtype  will
              be  the  ALL subtype.  If the target architecture specified is a
              machine-specific  implementation  (e.g.,  -arch  ppc603,   -arch
              i486),  the  assembler will flag as errors instructions that are
              not supported on that  architecture,  and  it  will  produce  an
              object  file  with the CPU subtype for that specific implementa-
              tion (even if no implementation-specific instructions are used).
              The  -force_cpusubtype_ALL  flag  is the default for all x86 and
              x86_64 architectures.

So, basically -force_cpusubtype_ALL tells the assembler not to report any error if a non-generic instruction (optional instruction, extension...) is used. This means that the programmer needs to make sure that such instructions are (dynamically) executed only when they exist. By adding -force_cpusubtype_ALL, you hide a potential error made by upstream.

I take your point, but GMP claims that its test suite is quite comprehensive, so this would be a mechanism to find errors made upstream.
As far as I know, nobody has found any.

I do not claim to be an expert on the PowerPC architecture, but -force_cpusubtype_ALL can't be that bad if it is the default for x86 and x86_64.

In any event, this ticket concerns more the fact that -force_cpusubtype_ALL is not being set correctly.

Sorry for the delay, finally came around to make that full re-run - I have attached the log (gmp_log.txt). If there is anything else (running without ccache or whatever else log you need), no problem :)

[garribald@…]

It works now! Having noticed the changeset here
​http://trac.macports.org/changeset/47853
I have applied the small change manually to the portfile (didn't want to wait for the next portindex-run of the site ;) ) and gmp ran through all the phases fine. Thanks :)

PS: The configure.log also confirmed the success, changing the now unset (-pipe free) C/CXXFLAGS to
'-O2 -mpowerpc -no-cpp-precomp -force_cpusubtype_ALL -Wa,-maltivec -mcpu=7400'
for this old (but quite nice) Powerbook.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Glad it is working.
Thanks for the report and testing.
