    <title>Introduction to GCC</title>

    <para>The <application>GCC</application> package contains GNU compilers.
    This package is useful for compiling programs written in C, C++, Fortran,
    Java, Objective C, Objective C++, Ada, and Go. You should ensure you
    actually need one of these additional compilers (C and C++ are installed
    in LFS) before you install them. Additionally, there are instructions in
    the BLFS book to install <xref linkend="openjdk"/>, which can be used
    instead of the Java provided by the <application>GCC</application> package.
    Many consider the Iced Tea version to be a more robust Java environment
    than the one provided by <application>GCC</application>.</para>

    &lfs75_checked;

    <caution>
      <para>If you are upgrading <application>GCC</application> from any other
      version prior to &gcc-version;, then you must be careful compiling 3rd
      party kernel modules. You should ensure that the kernel and all its
      native modules are also compiled using the same version of
      <application>GCC</application> that you use to build the 3rd party module.
      This issue does not affect native kernel (and kernel modules) updates,
      as the instructions below are a complete reinstallation of
      <application>GCC</application>. If you have existing 3rd party modules
      installed, ensure they are recompiled using the updated version of
      <application>GCC</application>. As always, never update the kernel
      headers from the ones used when <application>Glibc</application> was
      compiled during LFS.</para>

    <title>Installation of GNAT</title>

    <para>Before unpacking and changing into the GCC source directory, first
    unpack the <application>GNAT</application> tarball.  You may have to drill
    down several levels and unpack a second tarball.  For example,
    AdaCore-Download-2013-07-22_0530.tar expands to
    <filename>x86_64-linux/2013/gnatgpl/gnat-gpl-2013-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-bin.tar.gz</filename>.
    Expand this second tarball and change into the newly created directory.
    Install <application>GNAT</application> by running the following
    command:</para>

<screen><userinput>make ins-all prefix=/opt/gnat</userinput></screen>

    <para>The <application>GNAT</application> compiler can be invoked by
    executing the <command>gcc</command> binary installed in <filename
    class="directory">/opt/gnat/bin</filename>.</para>

    <para>You may now remove the <application>GNAT</application>
    source directory if desired.</para>

    <para>Prepare to compile <application>GCC</application> by placing the
    <application>GNAT</application> version of <command>gcc</command> at the
    beginning of the <envar>PATH</envar> variable by using the following
    commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen><userinput>PATH_HOLD=$PATH &amp;&amp;
export PATH=/opt/gnat/bin:$PATH_HOLD</userinput></screen>

    <para>Doing so has the drawback that the <application>GCC</application>
    and <application>Binutils</application> executables are taken
    from the just installed <application>GNAT</application> package, but the
    versions of those executables are outdated compared to those installed in
    LFS. This is not important for the <application>GCC</application> compilers,
    since they recompile themselves during the bootstrap process. On the other
    hand, the outdated <command>ld</command> and <command>as</command> tools
    are used all along. In order to use the LFS tools, issue:</para>

<screen><userinput>find /opt/gnat -name ld -exec mv -v {} {}.old \;
find /opt/gnat -name as -exec mv -v {} {}.old \;</userinput></screen>

  </sect2>

  <sect2 role="installation">
    <title>Installation of GCC</title>

    <important>
      <para>The installation process may overwrite your existing
      <application>GCC</application> <command>gcc</command> and
      <command>c++</command> compilers and libraries. Having the
      <application>Tcl</application>, <application>Expect</application> and
      <application>DejaGnu</application> packages installed before beginning
      the build is highly recommended so you can run the full suite of
      tests.</para>

      <para>Do not continue with the <command>make install</command> command
      until you are confident the build was successful. You can compare your
      test results with those found at <ulink
      url="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/"/>.  You may also want to
      refer to the information found in the <application>GCC</application>
      section of Chapter 6 in the LFS book (<ulink
      url="&lfs-root;/chapter06/gcc.html"/>).</para>
    </important>

    <para>The instructions below will make sure that <quote>bootstrap</quote>
    is performed intentionally. This is necessary if the
    <application>Ada</application> compiler is being built anyway. Even if it
    isn't, a bootstrap is recommended for robustness. To disable bootstrap
    anyways, pass <parameter>--disable-bootstrap</parameter> to the
    <command>./configure</command> options below.</para>

    <para>Install <application>GCC</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's/\(install.*:\) install-.*recursive/\1/' libffi/Makefile.in         &amp;&amp;
sed -i 's/\(install-data-am:\).*/\1/'             libffi/include/Makefile.in &amp;&amp;

mkdir ../gcc-build &amp;&amp;

make</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you have installed additional packages such as
    <application>Valgrind</application> and <application>GDB</application>,
    the <application>GCC</application> part of the testsuite will run more
    tests than in LFS. Some of those will report FAIL and others XPASS
    (pass when expected to FAIL). To run the tests, issue:</para>

<screen><userinput>ulimit -s 32768 &amp;&amp;
make -k check</userinput></screen>
<!-- The command above may error out, so using && may prevent the summary
to be run. -->

    <para>The tests are very long, and the results may be hard to find in the
    logs, specially if you use job control with make. You can get a summary
    of the tests with:</para>

<screen><userinput>../gcc-&gcc-version;/contrib/test_summary</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;

ln -v -sf ../usr/bin/cpp /lib &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf gcc /usr/bin/cc     &amp;&amp;

mkdir -pv /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib              &amp;&amp;
mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib &amp;&amp;

chown -v -R root:root \
    /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include{,-fixed} \
    /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/ada{lib,include}</userinput></screen>

    <para>You should now remove the <application>GNAT</application>
    installation and perform other cleanups:</para>

<screen><userinput>rm -rf /opt/gnat &amp;&amp;
export PATH=$PATH_HOLD &amp;&amp;
unset PATH_HOLD</userinput></screen>

    If the package is built by a user other than root, the ownership of the
