After poking at a few packages, I realize that there is a significant difference in how GCC is configured on the Debian/NetBSD setup. To wit, the predefines are markedly different, and at least one symbol that I would think should be there isn't. Example from a Debian GNU/Linux system (running woody): lucifer@crow:$ gcc-3.0 -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4/specs Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,proto,objc --prefix=/usr --infodir=/share/info --mandir=/share/man --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-system-zlib --enable-long-long --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --disable-checking --enable-threads=posix --enable-java-gc=boehm --with-cpp-install-dir=bin --enable-objc-gc i386-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.0.4 And from a Debian GNU/NetBSD system (running unstable): root@thenet# gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-netbsdelf-debian/3.2.1/specs Configured with: /tmp/Build/gcc-3.2/gcc-3.2-3.2.1ds0/src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,proto,objc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.2 --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --disable-__cxa_atexit --enable-objc-gc i386-unknown-netbsdelf-debian Thread model: single gcc version 3.2.1 20020830 (Debian prerelease) Yes, I do realize that it's 3.0 vs. 3.2, but the old 3.0 NetBSD had the same issue. To wit: lucifer@crow:$ gcc-3.0 -dumpspecs ... *predefines: -D__ELF__ -Dunix -Dlinux -Asystem=posix ... And from the NetBSD box: root@thenet# gcc -dumpspecs ... *predefines: -D__NetBSD__ -D__ELF__ -Asystem=unix -Asystem=NetBSD ... Both are ELF systems, and both define the OS standard symbol for their respective OSen. However, what I can't figure out is why the NetBSD config doesn't have -Dunix - it certainly seems to support the various files that I've seen that used as a trigger for (unistd.h, etc). Is this just a crufty value from Days of Yore when NetBSD didn't have support for the standard that symbol represents? If so, which file do I need to poke at in GCC to convince it otherwise, at least on Debian/NetBSD systems? I'm also wondering just what is up with the -A flags, and what suitable values for those are... -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com lucifer@lightbearer.com http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
