If you want to use any libraries, then those have to be available as a 32 b= it version somewhere. The Guix gcc package recipe disables this (and I think that was the right c= all to make). There are not a lot of use cases for using "-m32" anyway since on x86_64 th= e generated instructions are already just as compact as the x86 (32 bit) on= es if the immediate operand is not too big. Not sure what the configure script is doing there. But there are a few programs that need 32 bit compilers--BIOS-based bootloa= ders are one of them (since they start up in ancient 8088 real mode). --Sig_/JIGkAjc7uxx2BXoEyso/EZG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAmJEljkACgkQ5xo1VCww uqXaSggAir3FjzAZBIxDyHu+X5kIK49I9Myas6cpEW4Eui/7xY9GYQ9YtXv2aENi PekTlNpVSb/4uMCQXci4nK3s3SL7Dm/02XjTLTjODSBoltx1UJVWO8He60+/YnP0 2sCBX68bIGz4C2SQnKzocPtG27qajMg6Ayp3XGt7FfJRp518/xAuyZ7EP6z9xlFJ WPmr088nNqJYsI15Lgoz5PuQHZ2wzhGOWEJb+6x5Vpmcr9odb0GSWkGVOPhLCZQZ XWY6d83nfNkDF9bTH6wKYXWEKeWwKh8/tDt4dZ4dAQv4Q2QmOGHKkt2ZTuSrvc0o epEieOtYYvWdap54bxSZJGp9vXqk7Q== =Nwpi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/JIGkAjc7uxx2BXoEyso/EZG-- From unknown Tue Jun 17 01:46:54 2025 X-Loop: help-debbugs@gnu.org Subject: bug#54407: Issues building grub for powerpc64le, could not force big-endian Resent-From: Maxime Devos Original-Sender: "Debbugs-submit" Resent-CC: bug-guix@gnu.org Resent-Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 17:47:01 +0000 Resent-Message-ID: Resent-Sender: help-debbugs@gnu.org X-GNU-PR-Message: followup 54407 X-GNU-PR-Package: guix X-GNU-PR-Keywords: To: Christopher Baines , 54407@debbugs.gnu.org Received: via spool by 54407-submit@debbugs.gnu.org id=B54407.164866241816117 (code B ref 54407); Wed, 30 Mar 2022 17:47:01 +0000 Received: (at 54407) by debbugs.gnu.org; 30 Mar 2022 17:46:58 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:36875 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1nZcPJ-0004Bt-PB for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 30 Mar 2022 13:46:57 -0400 Received: from albert.telenet-ops.be ([195.130.137.90]:40970) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1nZcPI-0004Bl-I6 for 54407@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 30 Mar 2022 13:46:57 -0400 Received: from ptr-bvsjgyhxw7psv60dyze.18120a2.ip6.access.telenet.be ([IPv6:2a02:1811:8c09:9d00:3c5f:2eff:feb0:ba5a]) by albert.telenet-ops.be with bizsmtp id Chmv2700M4UW6Th06hmvq5; Wed, 30 Mar 2022 19:46:55 +0200 Message-ID: <7b43424a2ca7b3048fc2652cbee4f71390ce9151.camel@telenet.be> From: Maxime Devos Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 19:46:55 +0200 In-Reply-To: <87pmmm6hfj.fsf@cbaines.net> References: <87pmmm6hfj.fsf@cbaines.net> Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg="pgp-sha512"; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="=-4Y+Beo0dlJZuFUXT6O1h" User-Agent: Evolution 3.38.3-1 MIME-Version: 1.0 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=telenet.be; s=r22; t=1648662415; bh=el3NUqCr5TbcNSACLpK1pHtX+GKtajsilCqJKIwlbAw=; h=Subject:From:To:Date:In-Reply-To:References; b=KLKAszhC+96AELCjOnnAuJw8ifF1WjdHHSsAc58l+/S6g9t+r1kGKEVoYdyjJKLp/ aPS0AzKU17fONjLqKXEHD21E4FvL+5YNy4voNu59CQNhNLisKql8hNNlMdMgJukfs3 6pYCAl34+63g6BqlssLsqxgQFRUh9eBDybzl6hW8hWtc+6+SA3Ugoqg7aEk/LLBlr6 tikg8Ulmbpss2qG0AhR0iiDyIzBVk12QYYYZLAcOdd7dqiORmX6Pp/fdawAkyYlqN1 ZLUgGgFH+18otx/g9FRlQiJAinot9mtZErCZM6JK4kGGLhrzw4RLAF743XBNwDaSRJ ZxhO75kec/vVw== X-Spam-Score: -0.0 (/) X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -1.0 (-) --=-4Y+Beo0dlJZuFUXT6O1h Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Christopher Baines schreef op di 15-03-2022 om 21:11 [+0000]: > grub can't be built for powerpc64le, I believe the same failure > occurs > with native builds or cross compilation from x86_64.

Maybe you could add a gcc compiling for 32-bit ppc (maybe without a glibc since this is grub) and patch the configuration script to use the 32-bit ppc gcc instead of using the 64-bit ppc+-m32?

Maybe you could add a gcc =

I've had a go at this, using=
 something like what I've included below,
but I haven't stumbled upon the right options yet, or a way to work out
why gcc still thinks "-m32 not supported". [...]

I was thinking of skipping the multilib and maybe skipping support for multiple endians, something like:

Maybe you could add a gc=
