Is it possible to build gcc 4.8 / 4.9 (development) for OpenBSD 5.3 amd64?
I tried and failed. The first stage compiler fails building libgomp because of a relocation problem in a DWARF frame descriptor. "relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object" I am not explicitly making a shared object but who knows what's going on internally. Thinking that the old GNU assembler might be at fault I fetched a recent binutils. Compiling that fails because the compiler gives errors about use of the "struct hack" (which is now blessed by standards, but still dangerous). I beat on the code to avoid the warning. The next obstacle is x86-64 openbsd is not a supported target for the linker. I changed the target script to treat it like netbsd. And I don't know what error will come next, but I expect to find one. And I don't know if old binutils is really the problem? Any advice?
