Hi,
I've been having this issue with latest binary Linaro 2014.04 toolchain from
http://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a…
It comes with own sysroot, but linker fails to locate /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3
$ make
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o nvs.o nvs.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o misc_cmds.o misc_cmds.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o calibrator.o calibrator.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o plt.o plt.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o wl18xx_plt.o wl18xx_plt.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/tmp/include/libnl3/ -DCONFIG_LIBNL32 -c -o ini.o ini.c
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -L/tmp/lib/ nvs.o misc_cmds.o calibrator.o plt.o wl18xx_plt.o ini.o -lm -lnl-3 -lnl-genl-3 -o calibrator
/opt/linaro-2014.04/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8.3/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: cannot find /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1
And when I pass my own sysroot, it works fine.
Is it supposed to work as a standalone toolchain with its own bundled sysroot?
Thanks.

I've been digging through test logs, and for gcc 4.9.1 native x86_64
tests, all the libsanitizer test cases fail to link due to unresolved
symbols from libpthread and libdl. Does anybody know more about this
bug, or care to fix it ? :-) It still exists in gcc trunk.

- now copying the check.log from make check to toolchain so
tcwgweb.sh can scan it for build errors in the test cases.
- Got the delimiter for concurrent Jenkins builds changed, now
glibc build problems are gone.
- Track down and try to fix testsuite build issues.

Hi,
I have tried out a prototype of using binfmt_misc, and it does not appear to be a worthwhile solution at this point.
Bottom line: with a nice fast multi-core x86 server and a pool of ARM boards we can test GCC in ~20min.
Testing setup:
- Core i3 2-core host
- Chromebook 2-core target, SSD disk
- WiFi network
- GCC mainline built from sources with same flags both natively and cross: C, C++, Fortran.
General observations about testing ARM toolchains:
- When testing natively target is busy 100%: around 50% of time is spent compiling testcases, 40-45% in dejagnu/expect, 5-10% on actual test execution. Target is the bottleneck.
-- 21633.22user 4400.13system 4:13:11elapsed
- With testing cross using standard rsh_prog=ssh, rcp_prog=scp, target is busy 40% of the time: 30% on ssh, 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck.
--
- When testing cross (using method below) target is busy only 15-20% of the time: 10% on ssh and 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck.
-- 9490.16user 2882.54system 1:10:57elapsed
I've got a prototype implementation of parallelized cross-testing of GCC that I'm happy with using rsh_prog and rcp_prog dejagnu wrappers:
General observations on dejagnu cross-testing process:
- All communication with the target is done by Dejagnu via rsh_prog and rcp_prog hooks. These are normally defined to ssh and scp respectively.
- Dejagnu copies every testcase to /tmp/ on the target with scp.
- Dejagnu executes every testcase via ssh off target's /tmp/. In total there is 1 scp and 3 ssh invocations per testcase.
The idea of below scripts is to assume shared filesystem between host and a pool of target boards, and skip copying executables to target's local filesystem. Since there is no longer local state (local state == contents of /tmp) on the target boards, testcases can be executed on any of the boards in the pool. This happens transparently to dejagnu: dejagnu issues "rsh_prog chromebook-pool ./test" and then rsh_prog converts this to "ssh chromebook-XX ./test", where XX chosen at random.
Script implementation notes:
- For some unholy reason there is no way of correctly parse command line from dejagnu and give it to bash. The reason why myssh script ssh'es onto host itself is because that's the only way I've found to reliably execute the command. Hey! The command line was intended for ssh anyway!
- Myssh script translates hostname of foobar-pool-01-03-08 into foobar01, foobar03 or foobar08 chosen at random. If there is no "-pool-" mentioned in hostname, then it is used verbatim.

Hi,
I've run into some compile errors after updating to 4.9 -- usually getting
undefined references to symbols defined in helper static libraries.
It turns out this is triggered by gcc -flto now creating slim object files
by default (-ffat-lto-objects "fixes" it) - but I think it is actually an
ld bug that should be fixed at some point. ld (regardless of whether I use
-fuse-linker-plugin, -fuse-ld=gold or -fuse-ld=bfd) doesn't seem to see LTO
bytecode in object files that are inside an ar wrapper.
It deals with the library just fine if I use "ar x" to extract its object
files and link to them individually as opposed to the .a file.
I've attached a small test case to demonstrate ("make broken" shows the
error, "make works" shows the workaround).
Is there any reason why ld should behave the way it does, or is this a bug
that needs fixing?
