Package: src:gcc-4.8
Severity: normal
Hi.

This is the cross-build-specific half of the patches originally posted
in

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738152

The first half (filled-in missing logic) is here:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740005

This set of patches sets up some cross-building-specific logic when
building a cross-compiler with

  with_deps_on_target_arch_pkgs=yes

The patches are very similar to those in the original set. The only
difference is the set of languages for which a compiler is built. The
changes in this set are:

- Don't build a source package if we're building a cross compiler

- Don't build libraries if we're building a cross compiler using the
  host's libraries (with_deps_on_target_arch_pkgs=yes)

- Do not build a java or D cross-compiler. Do build the rest of the
  languages (C,C++,objC, objC++, go, fortran)


The benefits this patch series provides:

- Unneeded libraries aren't built, so the build completes faster

- Currently the libraries that get build using
  with_deps_on_target_arch_pkgs=yes are different from those that are
  built natively. For instance libstdc++6 in the main debian archive is
  Multi-Arch:same, while the package we get with
  with_deps_on_target_arch_pkgs=yes has no Multi-arch tags. This is a
  potentially very confusing discrepancy, and not building the "wrong"
  package at all is good, I think. We can fix the tags, but it's unclear
  who would benefit.

- There's an issue regarding an inconsistency in the naming of the x86
  32-bit platform (debian calls it 'i386', gcc,binutils call it 'i486').
  This results in build errors when trying to build cross-gcc-libraries
  for the i386 target. These patches don't build those libraries, so we
  don't see those issues. We could fix the underlying problem, but
  again, it's unclear this is useful to anybody.
