Re: Patches to fix building m68k with CPUFLAGS



A few notes that I replied to John Klos that I thought might be
interesting to others:

I'm using FS-UAE, and yes, A2065 emulation is very poor and I've
seen it cause the emulator to silently quit when I FTP a big file.
That's actually high on my priority list of bugs to investigate right
now. I even found a "LanceTest" program for AmigaOS on Aminet that I'm
looking to use to see if that might help flush out the emulated bugs
(when I run the diags, it passes the RAM test, but fails the next
check). Good fun opportunity to play with Ghidra and this guy's Amiga
hunk loader plugin for it (YouTube does very nice Russian->English
realtime captions): https://youtu.be/1iEQD4CEcuE

Because I'm just trying to get through an "atf-test" run without the
kernel panicking, I haven't needed to worry about the buggy Ethernet
emulation just yet.

I'm going to try building with GCC 7 and the newer binutils and see
what happens. I've also been hoping to backport Bernd Schmidt's "cc0
to mode_cc" patches for the m68k backend to the GCC 8 in the NetBSD
tree: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2019-11/msg01028.html

I looked at the "cc0" stuff a few years ago, for the VAX backend, and
it's an obsolete, confusing, buggy, and deprecated way of handling
condition flags. m68k and VAX are two backends that were slated for
deprecation and eventual removal because of CC0, so I'm very happy
that an expert has fixed the m68k backend, at least. I haven't pushed
my work in progress on that yet, because I'm getting duplicate symbols
in the generated asm code, right next to each other, when it tries to
build strstream.cc. Not sure what I did wrong there, yet.

One more note on the "libgcc/config/m68k/lb1sf68.S" patches (to gcc
and gcc.old): only the second of the two lines needs to be patched
(the first of the two lines that I changed, in each file, is only for
"__uClinux__", so that first change doesn't need to be there). Like I
said, I'm not sure if the 16-bit relocations that get generated for
"bra     \addr@PLTPC" that the binutils linker can't deal with are
handled properly on uClinux, but I'm guessing that they are handled
properly, because uClinux seems to have some special cases for their
calling conventions and linking. The reason you only see a failure
here with CPUFLAGS set is because, I suspect, "defined (__mcoldfire__)
&& !defined (__mcfisab__)" must be defined in the default
configuration, and not if you use, e.g. "-m68040" or "-m68020-60"
(which should be the ideal default build flag for targets like Atari
ST and Amiga).

Cheers,
Jake
