GCC-2.6.1 COMES TO FREEBSD-current
----------------------------------
Everybody needs to 'make world'.

Oakland, Nov 2nd 1994.  In a surprise move this sunny afternoon, the release-
engineer for the slightly delayed FreeBSD-2.0, Poul-Henning Kamp (28),
decided to pull in the new version 2.6.1 of the GNU C-compiler.
The new version of the compiler was release today at noon, and hardly 9
hours later it was committed into the FreeBSD-current source-repository.
"It's is simply because we have had too much trouble with the version 2.6.0
of the compiler" Poul-Henning told the FreeBSD-Gazette, "we took a gamble
when we decided to use that as our compiler for the 2.0 release, but it
seems to pay of in the end now" he concludes.
The move has not been discussed on the "core" list at all, and will come as
a surprise for most Poul-Hennings peers.  "I have only discussed it with
Jordan [J. K. Hubbard, the FreeBSD's resident humourist], and we agreed that
we needed to do it, so ... I did it!".  After a breath he added with a grin:
"My email will probably get an all time 'disk-full' now!".
This will bring quite a flag-day to the FreeBSD developers, the patch-file
is almost 1.4 Megabyte, and they will have to run "make world" to get
entirely -current again.  "Too bad, but we just had to do this."  Was
the only comment from Poul-Henning to these problems.
When asked how this move would impact the 2.0 release-date, Poul-Hennings
face grew dark, he mumbled some very Danish words while he moved his fingers
in strange geometrical patterns.  Immediately something ecclipsed the Sun, a
minor tremor shook the buildings, and the temperature fell significantly.
We decided not to pursure the question.

Are you a dedicated GCC-hacker ?
We BADLY need somebody to look at the 'freebsd' OS in gcc, sanitize it and
carry the patches back to the GNU people.  In particular, we need to get
out of the "i386-only" spot we are in now.  I have the stuff to take a
gnu-dist into bmake-form, and will do that part.

b882a12ed1 Changed NO_SHARED_LIBCC_INT to SHARED_LIBCC_INT and changed the logic
as appropriate. This makes gcc not built with a shared cc_int the
default.

a414f736a7 For Bruce: -DNO_SHARED_LIBCC_INT reverts back to static libcc_int.
This makes the back end run faster, but at the cost of speed.

ce10b298df Make GCC's back end be shared among all languages. cc, c++, and cpp now
no longer link against the whole library, since they don't require much
from it, but just compile the few small modules they actually need static.

This should save a measurable amount of space; compare:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin   155648 Sep 18 18:00 cc1*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  bin  1048576 Sep 18 17:33 cc1.noshae*

Of course, the library takes up a bit of space, but when you add in the
savings from the C++ compiler, you more than make up the difference:

-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin  1157344 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/lib/libcc_int.so.26.0
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  491520 Sep 18 18:27 /usr/libexec/cc1plus*

4b07d8e782 Add dependencies on libraries to DPADD. Someday this should be done
automagically.  -lfoo has to be right to work, but ${LIBFO0} is too
easy to forget or misspell; nothing checks it and it should be
different for shared libraries.

8312f29778 Fixed up everything so that the version of gcc that we install from the
FreeBSD system sources installs itself as the standard cc and c++. I've
fixed c++ to call cc instead of gcc and removed all the symlinks
that get created to g** version of the binaries. This means that
you can install a second version of gcc that does use the g prefix
alongside the "system" version of gcc. The only conflict is libgcc
but since we install it as libcc.so.26 and nothing else is likely
to that should be ok.
