In another attempt to get C++ exceptions working on the gen68360 target
I tried building for the m68k-elf target. All the tools built and
installed properly as did all of RTEMS. No applications would run,
though -- not even hello.exe!
It turns out the problem was in the linker script. The alignment was in
the wrong place.
Here's a patch. Exceptions still don't work, but at least I can get
some things working with the ELF format now.
which fixes a couple of bugs in RTEMS's old style Makefile.ins, which
apparently were introduced by moving the start directories and not
having adapted the Makefile.ins.
To apply:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991203-10.diff
which ontains all what was left over from the other patches (Primarily
minor configuration cleanups).
To apply:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991203-9.diff
./bootstrap
which does minor cleanup for Makefile.ams below mptests, which only
removes some bogus comments from the Makefile.ams.
To apply:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991203-8.diff
./bootstrap
which adds partial automake support to libcpu/<cpu>/*.
Until now I have only implemented full automake support for the sh (my
demonstration example :) and the i386 (inevitiable for structural
reasons of this subdirectory). For all other cpus only their toplevel
directories (exception: powerpc), include subdirectories and a few
selected subdirectories have been converted to automake.
I did this on purpose, because add automake support to each subdirectory
requires individual adaptations which to be tested individually.
Additionally the weirdnesses of the powerpc subdirectories hit again,
esp. some powerpc cpu-models
* install files to $(PROJECT_INCLUDE)/<cpu-model>/ while others install
them to $(PROJECT_INCLUDE)/
* the scheme used to configure libcpu/powerpc/ is difficult to implement
using automake, therefore this subdirectory still is configured by
autoconf (The one out of an unlimited set selection scheme hits again
:), though powerpc/*/* subdirectories already apply automake.
The patch also reveils structural weaknesses in RTEMS:
E.g. There seem to exist at least 5 different general schemes:
* Not using libcpu at all (eg. i960)
* Strictly tree-style a libcpu/<cpu-variant>/* (eg. m68k, sh)
* Flat libcpu directory layout with cpu-variants merged into sources or
not destinguishing cpu-variants (i386)
* Not supporting variants with deep source tree (sparc, hppa, mips64orion)
* Woven directory structure with shared directories (powerpc)
I regret having to say this, but from my POV this means, that there
doesn't exist a general implementation scheme for libcpu at all.

patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991203-7.diff
./bootstrap
which fixes a nasty dependency bug in optman/Makefile.am. Those
directories have been build twice before, i.e. re-running make after
having built rtems before, was rebuilding the files in optman/
directories.
