# The svr4 reference port for the i860 contains an alloca.o routine # in /usr/ucblib/libucb.a, but we can't just try to get that by # setting CLIB to /usr/ucblib/libucb.a because (unfortunately) # there are a lot of other routines in libucb.a which are supposed # to be the Berkeley versions of library routines normally found in # libc.a and many of these Berkeley versions are badly broken. Thus, # if we try to link programs with libucb.a before libc.a, those # programs tend to crash. # Also, the alloca() routine supplied in early version of svr4 for # the i860 is non-ABI compliant. It doesn't keep the stack aligned # to a 16-byte boundary as the ABI requires. # More importantly however, even a fully ABI compliant alloca() routine # would fail to work correctly with some versions of the native svr4 C # compiler currently being distributed for the i860 (as of 1/29/92). # The problem is that the native C compiler generates non-ABI-compliant # function epilogues which cut back the stack (upon function exit) in # an incorrect manner. Specifically, they cut back the stack by adding # the nominal *static* frame size (determined statically at compile-time) # to the stack pointer rather than setting the stack pointer based upon # the current value of the frame pointer (as called for in the i860 ABI). # This can cause serious trouble in cases where you repeatedly call a # routine which itself calls alloca(). In such cases, the stack will # grow continuously until you finally run out of swap space or exceed # the system's process size limit. To avoid this problem (which can # arise when a stage1 gcc is being used to build a stage2 gcc) you # *must* link in the C language version of alloca() which is supplied # with gcc to your stage1 version of gcc. The following definition # forces that to happen. ALLOCA=alloca.o # We build all stages *without* shared libraries because that may make # debugging the compiler easier (until there is a GDB which supports # both Dwarf *and* svr4 shared libraries). # Note that the native C compiler for the svr4 reference port on the # i860 recognizes a special -gg option. Using that option causes *full* # Dwarf debugging information to be generated, whereas using only -g # causes only limited Dwarf debugging information to be generated. # (This is an undocumented feature of the native svr4 C compiler.)
