How about gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms?

Question

Subject says it all... it could make compiling a lot of code out there a whole lot easier!

Answer 1

I also desire gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms .
In the interim I have downloaded the source and am attempting to create such a beast.
It is slow progress to fix the unexpected script breakage, but it seems to be going OK:
Problems:
1.): Issues like "-mtune=v9" and an "embeded spec" in gcc and cpp (from files
gccfss_src/build/gcc/gccspec.o and gccfss_src/build/gcc/cppspec.o).
2.): Use of OPTTABLE_H = $(srcdir)/config/target-option-table.h with SPARC specific
options throughout
EG:
#ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
#define NATIVE \
{ "-native", "-xtarget=generic" }, \
{ "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
{ "-xarch=native", "-Zarch=v8plus -Zarchm32=v8plus -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=32" },\
{ "-xtarget=native64", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=32"}
#else
#define NATIVE \
{ "-native", "-xtarget=native" }, \
{ "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xarch=native", "-xarch=native -Zm=32"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native64", "-xtarget=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native", "-xtarget=native -Zm=32"}
#endif
Thus, one would need to change:
{ "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
to something like:
{ "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=386 -m64" },\
3.): Copy the "sparc_output_scratch_registers()" function from file
"gccfss_src/src/gcc/config/sparc/sparc.c" to "gccfss_src/src/gcc/tree-ir.c".
4.): Use the undocumented command line option "-frtl-backend" when this error
occurs during the build (a simple Makefile change):
`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead.
xgcc: SUNW0scgfss 4.2.0 has not been installed. Either install it or use -frtl-backend.
5.): More ...
All these issues occur because the scripts expect "--build=sparc-pc-solaris2.11" but
I configured using "--build=i386-pc-solaris2.11" . It seems like it is going to work
but I am yet to finish stage1 of the build (I do have a working "xgcc").
