BUG: gcc41 build failure on Mac OS X 10.3.9

Description

GCC 4.1 fails to build on Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.9, because of libstdc++ needing a 'nm' command accepting the '-P' (--portability) option. However, Mac OS X 10.3.9 (or perhaps the latest Xcode released for Panther) is shipped with a 'nm' that does not understand this option.

The culprit is libstdc++-v3/scripts/make_exports.pl, which uses NM_FOR_TARGET, whose default value is 'nm'. The odcctools package provides a replacement for nm, /opt/local/bin/odnm, which accepts '-P', and works as expected. I used the following command to solve this build issue:

sed "s/my \$nm = \$ENV{'NM_FOR_TARGET'} || \"nm\";/my \$nm = \"odnm\";/" \
  libstdc++-v3/scripts/make_exports.pl

but I think the following patch should do as well:

The configure script accepts the environment variable NM, so I'd propose to use that (see attached patch). I've successfully compiled gcc41 with that change.

i've tested gcc41.diff which correct the above problem, but i still have problems after that. during compilation:

Replying to toby@…:

Not a good reason for closing a bug.

I don't see this problem on Panther; I see the problem in #11890.

comment:7 in reply to:  6 Changed 15 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

That is to say, I don't see this problem because I'm not using odcctools because odcctools doesn't build on Panther anymore.

Closing again. We don't support Panther, and there obviously isn't anything being done about this bug. Given that we have about 1500 more open tickets than we can deal with, I believe this a reasonable course of action.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
