obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website;upstream
verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig;
imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball.
downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag
should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical
to the one extracted from the above tarball.
if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone',
however, do note that line-endings of files in your working
directory might differ from line-endings of the respective
files in the upstream repository.

You do this +when you run the @file{configure} script. + +The @dfn{build} machine is the system which you are using, the +@dfn{host} machine is the system where you want to run the resulting +compiler (normally the build machine), and the @dfn{target} machine is +the system for which you want the compiler to generate code. + +If you are building a compiler to produce code for the machine it runs +on (a native compiler), you normally do not need to specify any operands +to @file{configure}; it will try to guess the type of machine you are on +and use that as the build, host and target machines. So you don't need +to specify a configuration when building a native compiler unless +@file{configure} cannot figure out what your configuration is or guesses +wrong. + +In those cases, specify the build machine's @dfn{configuration name} +with the @option{--host} option; the host and target will default to be +the same as the host machine. + +Here is an example: + +@smallexample +./configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1 +@end smallexample + +A configuration name may be canonical or it may be more or less +abbreviated. + +A canonical configuration name has three parts, separated by dashes. +It looks like this: @samp{@var{cpu}-@var{company}-@var{system}}. +(The three parts may themselves contain dashes; @file{configure} +can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.) For example, +@samp{m68k-sun-sunos4.1} specifies a Sun 3. + +You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases. +For example, @samp{sun3} stands for @samp{m68k-sun}, so +@samp{sun3-sunos4.1} is another way to specify a Sun 3. + +You can specify a version number after any of the system types, and some +of the CPU types. In most cases, the version is irrelevant, and will be +ignored. So you might as well specify the version if you know it. + +See @ref{Configurations}, for a list of supported configuration names and +notes on many of the configurations.

For example, you can write @samp{bsd4.3} or +@samp{bsd4.4} to distinguish versions of BSD@. In practice, the version +number is most needed for @samp{sysv3} and @samp{sysv4}, which are often +treated differently. + +@samp{linux-gnu} is the canonical name for the GNU/Linux target; however +GCC will also accept @samp{linux}. The version of the kernel in use is +not relevant on these systems. A suffix such as @samp{libc1} or @samp{aout} +distinguishes major versions of the C library; all of the suffixed versions +are obsolete. + +If you specify an impossible combination such as @samp{i860-dg-vms}, +then you may get an error message from @file{configure}, or it may +ignore part of the information and do the best it can with the rest. +@file{configure} always prints the canonical name for the alternative +that it used. GCC does not support all possible alternatives. + +Often a particular model of machine has a name. Many machine names are +recognized as aliases for CPU/company combinations. Thus, the machine +name @samp{sun3}, mentioned above, is an alias for @samp{m68k-sun}. +Sometimes we accept a company name as a machine name, when the name is +popularly used for a particular machine.

If you use +configuration @samp{@var{cpu}-local}, the configuration name +without the cpu prefix +is used to form the configuration file names. + +Thus, if you specify @samp{m68k-local}, configuration uses +files @file{m68k.md}, @file{local.h}, @file{m68k.c}, +@file{xm-local.h}, @file{t-local}, and @file{x-local}, all in the +directory @file{config/m68k}. |
