gcc-5 5.4.0-5ubuntu1~16.04 from ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa does accept vulcan as an -mcpu option, and it does pass the correct -march settings down to the assembler:
$ gcc -v hello.c -o hello 2>&1 | grep ' as ' as -v -EL -mabi=lp64 -o /tmp/ccgyMnhl.o /tmp/cchw8EFH.s $ gcc -mcpu=vulcan -v hello.c -o hello 2>&1 | grep ' as ' as -v -EL -march=armv8.1-a+crypto -mabi=lp64 -o /tmp/ccgkHPq1.o /tmp/cc32DdK2.s binutils 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 from proposed also accepts -mcpu vulcan now: $ (gcc -Wa,-mcpu=vulcan -mcpu=vulcan -v hello.c -o hello 2>&1 && echo exitcode $? 1>&2)| grep ' as ' as -v -EL -march=armv8.1-a+crypto -mabi=lp64 -mcpu=vulcan -o /tmp/cc2Hf3Ve.o /tmp/ccMVgC69.s exitcode 0 I expected gcc -mcpu=vulcan to pass down -mcpu=vulcan to the assembler as well, but it didn't. I tested using -mcpu=xgene1 instead, and that also does not pass -mcpu=xgene1 down to the assembler, so I assume this is normal. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to binutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594452 Title: Add vulcan support Status in binutils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gcc-6 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in binutils source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in gcc-5 source package in Xenial: New Bug description: Vulcan support has recently landed upstream.
