[LLVMdev] Compiling llvm-gcc on amd64 with 32 bits: assembler still carps

[Joachim Durchholz]

*bump*

Anybody got a clue?

I can post a full transcript of a shell session that reproduces the
error if that helps.

To reiterate the original problem: I'm trying to compile LLVM-GCC on an
Ubuntu 64-bit box, with a 32-bit target (to avoid potential problems
with PIC and such).
I get errors like
  Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'
as soon as the make process tries to assemble anything; the surface
cause of the problem is that it's calling the preinstalled GNU assembler
but not telling it to emit 32-bit code. (The root cause may be that the
--build, --host and --target options are mishandled somewhere. This
hypothesis is supported by the fact that you need to specify all three
even though normally, specifying just --build should be enough, but
unfortunately, I don't know enough about the automake machinery to
verify or falsify it.)

Regards,
Jo

Saying --enable-llvm=/home/jo/lib or --enable-llvm=/home/jo/bin gives me

...  
checking for valgrind.h... (cached) no
checking for dsymutil... no
dsymutil is not available
checking for dsymutil... no
dsymutil is not available
configure: error: You must specify valid path to your LLVM tree with
--enable-llvm=DIR

quite early in 'make'.

--enable-llvm=/home/jo does a lot more work before it finally hits the
assembler problems.

So I conclude that --enable-llvm should point to wherever --prefix
pointed when LLVM was built, and the assembler problem have some other
source.
