The following 2 references to GCC or gcc may not be intended
any more:
The
CCACHE_CPP2 option is used for Clang but not GCC.
To be able to build the system, either gcc
or clang bootstrap must be enabled unless an alternate =
compiler
is provided via XCC.
(That is it for GCC/gcc.)
The WITH_BINUTILS is interesting in that for:
arm/armv6, arm/armv7,
i386/i386, mips/mipsel, mips/mips, mips/mips64el, =
mips/mips64,
mips/mipsn32, mips/mipselhf, mips/mipshf, mips/mips64elhf,
mips/mips64hf
the description would seem to imply the same result for
them as for WITHOUT_BINUTILS: as, objdump, and ld.bfd not
built and installed. Whatever the internal mechanism, I think
it would be clearer to list the above under WITHOUT_BINUTILS
for their default handling.
The text:
WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_BOOTSTRAP
Set to not build ELF Tool Chain tools (addr2line, nm, size,
strings and strip) as part of the bootstrap process. An
alternate bootstrap tool chain must be provided.
gives no hint how to provide an alternate bootstrap tool chain
that has those programs.
The issue is somewhat wider in that only XCC and XLD are mentioned
anywhere. (For example, no XCXX, XCPP either.) Of course when the
C/C++ compiler command lines are used to run the linker the likes of
XLD do not help redirect what is attempted.
The text:
WITH_LLVM_TARGET_SPARC
Set to build LLVM target support for SPARC. The =
LLVM_TARGET_ALL
option should be used rather than this in most cases.
still is SPARC material.
As I remember, the text:
WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD
Set to exclude build metadata (such as the build time, =
user, or
host) from the kernel, boot loaders, and uname output, so =
that
builds produce bit-for-bit identical output.
suggests more control than the option actually gives
(most of the time).
The text:
WITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR
Set to use the historical object directory format for =
build(7)
targets. For native-builds and builds done directly in =
sub-
directories the format of ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${.CURDIR} is =
used,
while for cross-builds
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/${TARGET}.${TARGET_ARCH}/${.CURDIR} is =
used.
This option is transitional and will be removed before the =
12.0
release, at which time will be enabled permanently.
This must be set in the environment, make command line, or
/etc/src-env.conf, not /etc/src.conf.
mentions that the option was to be removed before 12.0 . (It also
says that the to-be-removed option will be enabled when removed.)
