Thanks for cleaning this up.

I wonder if we need the explicit -march and -mcpu options and this
or should we remove them and add a more general option that can
include these flags. When I added the -march etc I thought this was
all that was needed and that is proving to be a little naive.
If -march and -mcpu are only passed to gcc to let gcc search the libs, I
think we can add a more generic option.
What do you think ?
I think we can extract the 'machine' related flags from rtems bsp and
build a table in rtl-host like the following:
struct bsp_flag {
char* bsp_name;
char* flags;
} ;
Here machine related flags in gcc is at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.3/gcc/ chapter 3.17.
struct bsp_flag bsp_flags[RTEMS_BSP_NUMS];
alloc space
bsp_flags[0].bsp_name = bsp name from rtems source code
bsp_flags[0].flags = machine flags from rtems source code corresponding
to the bsp
bsp_flags[1]
bsp_flags[2]
......
I think the user should manage this in their build environment. The
rtems-tld (trace linker) will need the BSP set up to work so this is a
different case.
I have not read related source code. what is it for?
Using the machine flags, xxx_rtemsxx_gcc can search the related libs
first, if not found, then search the common libs, because the machine
related lib path is in the first.
Yes it can.
Just my thought, the code above is not good. Hmm. using String, new and
class in c++
I understand.
I think we may pass a madantory bsp name to rtl-host, such as "--bsp
xxxxxxx" , xxxxxxx means the bsp name
Or we pass --cc-flags and let the user manage the interface to the BSP.
If not pass correct machine flags to gcc, rtems-ld may link wrong
libgcc.a and other libxxx.a, and rtems-ld can not give any error msg
about this. At last, when loading rap file, error occurs, but hard to
find what happens.
I am not sure, but I think let user to handle the machine flags is not
user friendly, unless users are clearly about what machine flags should
be passed to xx-rtemsxx-gcc by rtems-ld.
If using --cc-flags, this option may be manatory, but not optional. And
the user should extract the machine flags from rtems source code.
I think passing bsp name to rtems-ld, and rtems-ld search a table which
contains bsps' name and the machine flags corresponding to the bsp. If
the bsp name passed to rtems-ld can not be found in the table, rtems-ld
complains err msg, If found, then all is fine.

Peng.
