GCC-13.2.0

GCC の概要

The GCC package contains the GNU Compiler Collection. This page describes the installation of compilers for the following languages: C, C++, Fortran, Objective C, Objective C++, Go, and Modula2. Since C and C++ are installed in LFS, this page is either for upgrading C and C++, or for installing additional compilers.

[注記]

注記

Additional languages, among which D and Ada, are available in the collection. D and Ada have a binary bootstrap requirement for the first installation, so their installation is not described here. To install them, you can proceed along the same lines as below after installing the corresponding compiler from a binary package, adding ada or d to the --enable-languages line.

注記

LFS や依存パッケージが本ブックに示す最新安定バージョンでなかった場合には、BLFS 開発版においては、パッケージのビルドや処理実行が適切に行われないことがあります。

[注意]

注意

If you are upgrading GCC from any other version prior to 13.2.0, then you must be careful compiling 3rd party kernel modules. You should ensure that the kernel and all its native modules are also compiled using the same version of GCC that you use to build the 3rd party module. This issue does not affect native kernel (and kernel modules) updates, as the instructions below are a complete reinstallation of GCC. If you have existing 3rd party modules installed, ensure they are recompiled using the updated version of GCC. As always, never update the kernel headers from the ones used when Glibc was compiled during LFS.

GCC のインストール

[重要]

重要

Even if you specify only languages other than C and C++ to the ./configure command below, the installation process will overwrite your existing GCC C and C++ compilers and libraries. Running the full suite of tests is recommended.

Do not continue with the make install command until you are confident the build was successful. You can compare your test results with those found at https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/. You may also want to refer to the information found in the GCC section of Chapter 8 in the LFS book (../../../../lfs/view/development/chapter08/gcc.html).

The instructions below are intentionally performing a bootstrap process. Bootstrapping is needed for robustness and is highly recommended when upgrading the compilers version. To disable bootstrap anyway, add --disable-bootstrap to the ./configure options below.

以下のコマンドを実行して GCC をビルドします。

mkdir build               &&
cd    build               &&

../configure              \
    --prefix=/usr         \
    --disable-multilib    \
    --with-system-zlib    \
    --enable-default-pie  \
    --enable-default-ssp  \
    --disable-fixincludes \
    --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go,objc,obj-c++,m2 &&
make

If you have installed additional packages such as valgrind and gdb, the gcc part of the test suite will run more tests than in LFS. Some of those will report FAIL and others XPASS (pass when expected to FAIL). As of gcc-13.2.0, about 65 FAIL occur in the guality suite, as well as miscellaneous failures throughout the rest of the test suite. If all the compilers above are built, there will be a little over 80 unexpected failures out of over 546,000 tests. To run the tests, issue:

ulimit -s 32768 &&
make -k check

The tests are very long, and the results may be hard to find in the logs, specially if you use parallel jobs with make. You can get a summary of the tests with:

../contrib/test_summary

root ユーザーになって以下を実行します。

make install &&

mkdir -pv /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib              &&
mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib &&

chown -v -R root:root \
    /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/13.2.0/include{,-fixed}

コマンド説明

mkdir build; cd build: The GCC documentation recommends building the package in a dedicated build directory.

--disable-multilib: This parameter ensures that files are created for the specific architecture of your computer.

--with-system-zlib: Uses the system zlib instead of the bundled one. zlib is used for compressing and decompressing GCC's intermediate language in LTO (Link Time Optimization) object files.

--enable-default-pie: Makes the -fpie option the default when compiling programs. Together with the ASLR feature enabled in the kernel, this defeats some kind of attacks based on known memory layouts.

--enable-default-ssp: Makes the -fstack-protector-strong option the default when compiling programs. SSP is a technique preventing alteration of the program flow by corrupting the parameter stack.

--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go,objc,obj-c++,m2: This command identifies which languages to build. You may modify this command to remove undesired languages. GCC also supports Ada and D, but building GCC with Ada (or D) support needs an existing Ada (or D) compiler. So they are not enabled here.

ulimit -s 32768: This command prevents several tests from running out of stack space.

make -k check: This command runs the test suite without stopping if any errors are encountered.

../contrib/test_summary: This command will produce a summary of the test suite results. You can append | grep -A7 Summ to the command to produce an even more condensed version of the summary. You may also wish to redirect the output to a file for review and comparison later on.

mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py ...: The installation stage puts some files used by gdb under the /usr/lib directory. This generates spurious error messages when performing ldconfig. This command moves the files to another location.

chown -v -R root:root /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/...: If the package is built by a user other than root, the ownership of the installed include directory (and its content) will be incorrect. This command changes the ownership to the root user and group.

--enable-host-shared --enable-languages=jit: Build libgccjit, a library for embedding GCC inside programs and libraries for generating machine code. Despite JIT (just-in-time) in the name, the library can be used for AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation as well. --enable-host-shared is needed for building libgccjit, but it significantly slows down GCC. So libgccjit should be built and installed separately, not as a part of the main GCC installation. If you need this library, configure GCC with these two options and install the library by running make -C gcc jit.install-common jit.install-info as the root user. This library is not used by any BLFS package, nor tested by the BLFS developers.
