Bug ID: 108682
   Summary: libffi needs to merge upstream to get LoongArch
support
   Product: gcc
   Version: 13.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P3
 Component: libffi
  Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
  Reporter: robinlee.sysu at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Significant parts of GCC already get LoongArch support. But when I try to build
gccgo for LoongArch, it fails:

configure: error: "libffi has not been ported to
loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnuf64."

libffi upstream already gets LoongArch support since 3.4.3. The latest version
is 3.4.4.

Is there any chance a merge with upstream can be performed before GCC 13 final
release? So gccgo can be built for LoongArch.

libgo runtime needs an update.
gccgo build scripts need to support loongarch64.

Yes. In Freedesktop SDK project[1], we need gccgo to bootstrap gc go.
