--- Comment #20 from davem at gcc dot gnu.org 2012-11-06 01:44:09 UTC --- Eric, I checked, and that is not how Debian builds their gcc. They build with "sparc-unknown-linux" as the triplet. So they configure their compiler correctly, and I still contend that nobody should use this sparc64+--with-cpu=v8 thing. davem@patience:~/src/GIT/GCC/build-sparc64-linux/gcc$ /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.6.3/cc1plus -version GNU C++ (Debian 4.6.3-8) version 4.6.3 (sparc-linux-gnu) compiled by GNU C version 4.6.3, GMP version 5.0.5, MPFR version 3.1.0-p10, MPC version 0.9 GGC heuristics: --param ggc-min-expand=100 --param ggc-min-heapsize=131072 C-c C-c davem@patience:~/src/GIT/GCC/build-sparc64-linux/gcc$ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
