    You mean users building for a custom chip design and a BSP which
    is not
    integrated in the RTEMS Project?

Yes. Maybe that should not be our primary focus for RTEMS though.

    So far the rule was to use only multilib defined defines and CPU
    options
in the cpukit. I am not sure what we should do to address issues like
    this. Maybe add CPU-specific CPU options?

We could turn on __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 define for the multilibs defined in GCC, but make it RTEMS specific? Please see attached GCC patch. This would take care of the mainstream users, and the other LEON3 users could enable the fix by adding the -D manually by specifying the target CFLAGS when doing RTEMS configure? I could live with that.

When building with the GCC patch it gives:

daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-gr712rc |grep TN0018
     #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-ut700 |grep TN0018
     #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3 -mfix-ut699 |grep TN0018
     #define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 1
daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon3  |grep TN0018 daniel@daniel:/opt/rcc-1.3.0-gcc/src/samples$ sparc-gaisler-rtems5-gcc -dM -E empty.c -mcpu=leon  |grep TN0018

We already have multilibs for these variants:

 sparc-rtems6-gcc -print-multi-lib
.;
soft;@msoft-float
v8;@mcpu=v8
leon3;@mcpu=leon3
leon3v7;@mcpu=leon3v7
leon;@mcpu=leon
leon3/gr712rc;@mcpu=leon3@mfix-gr712rc
leon3v7/gr712rc;@mcpu=leon3v7@mfix-gr712rc
leon/ut699;@mcpu=leon@mfix-ut699
leon/at697f;@mcpu=leon@mfix-at697f
soft/v8;@msoft-float@mcpu=v8
soft/leon3;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon3
soft/leon3v7;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon3v7
soft/leon;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon
soft/leon3/gr712rc;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon3@mfix-gr712rc
soft/leon3v7/gr712rc;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon3v7@mfix-gr712rc
soft/leon/ut699;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon@mfix-ut699
soft/leon/at697f;@msoft-float@mcpu=leon@mfix-at697f

So adding a built-in define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 to GCC 10 (and clang)
would be my preferred way to add this define for RTEMS. External users
can still define __FIX_LEON3FT_TN0018 on the command line or a header
file if needed.

Agreed. I will update the patch to remove the patch to the BSPs config which adds the TN0018 build flags. When I tested my suggested sparc/rtems GCC-10 patch it worked for the above listed multilibs (only the affected ones defined the TN0018).


Independent of this we need a ticket for the TN0018.

I see you have created one, thanks.
