GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

This unfortunately means conditionalizing out all the libctf code, but
the result is not too unbearably ugly, if a bit repetitive. I have
stubbed out code in the !ENABLE_LIBCTF path to avoid extra redundant
ifdefs where it seems that might be helpful. (The stubs are not too
disruptive, but I've tried to keep them on one line where possible to
avoid filling up the screen with stubs that nobody would care about.
If this is too much of a coding style violation I can change it.)

The ELF header contains a start address, which is also sometimes

the 'start address', while readelf calls it 'entry point address'.
The linker talks about setting the 'entry' point in its manual.
I've always thought of this field as the 'entry address', and so when
I recently wanted to know if objcopy could adjust this field I opened
up the manual and searched for 'entry', which found no hits.
I thought it would be useful (for people like me) if the description
of 'set-start' and 'adjust-start' in the objcopy manual mentioned the
word 'entry' to make it easier to find.

In commit 2b44a6a237 (" binutils: doc: make `make clean` clean more
things"), I moved the doc build artifacts to MOSTLYCLEANFILES, which
made them get removed by "make clean".
Because generating binutils.info requires makeinfo, and we do not want
to require makeinfo when building from the tarball, binutils.info should
not get removed by "make clean" (otherwise, it won't be included in the
tarball).
And to be consistent with other projects (e.g. ld and gas), we also want
to ship the built man pages in the tarball.
This patch puts back all these in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, so that they are
bundled in the tarball, and only cleaned if you use "make
maintainer-clean".
Tested by building a source release and confirming they are present.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF
debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch
enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are
otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils can be built
with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option. This
requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.

This patch extends "ar P" to allow creation of normal (as distinct
from thin) archives with full path names.

The linker emits CTF into a single section named .ctf, which is a CTF
archive where the default member (itself named ".ctf", or simply NULL)
is the parent of all other members. Teach objdump to look for this by
default, rather than only trying to do it if a specific CTF parent
section was specified. (If no parent name is specified, we get the .ctf
member from the same section as everything else, which matches what the
linker generates.)
binutils/
* objdump.c (dump_ctf): Use the default CTF archive member as the
parent even when no parent section is specified.
(dump_ctf_archive_member): Only import from the parent
if this is not the default ".ctf" member.
We were only loading them when explicitly requested, which leads to
strings that point off into empty space (into the non-loaded "external"
ELF string table). Avoid this unfortunate consequence by loading the
strtab and symtab by default, unless a blank name is given.
binutils/
* readelf.c (dump_ctf_symtab_name): Give default value.
(dump_ctf_strtab_name): Likewise.
(dump_section_as_ctf): Allow for the null string.

There is a bunch of things left over after a `make clean` in the doc
directory. This patch changes the Makefile so that everything built by
make is cleaned:
- man pages (the man_MANS variable)
- cxxfilt.man
- binutils.info
I am not sure why the last one was in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES. It's
generated from binutils.texi using makeinfo, and it's not particularly
long to build, so I don't see why it shouldn't be cleaned like the other
files.
Note: with my automake 1,15.1 (built from source), I get a spurious diff
in Makefile.in, where the
runstatedir = @runstatedir@
line gets removed. I am not sure why, but I haven't included it.
binutils/ChangeLog:
* doc/Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Clean all man pages,
cxxfilt.man and binutils.info.
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove.
* doc/Makefile.in: Re-generate.
This variable doesn't exist (it evaluates to nothing).

The `install-data-local: install-info` part: the comment refers to when
the Makefile had the cygnus option. It no longer uses that, so the info
file should get installed without that rule. I verified that `make
install` still installed $(prefix)/share/info/binutils.info.
The `DISTCLEANFILES` part: the comment talks about Automake 1.9, we are
using 1.15.1, which doesn't appear to have this problem. binutils.info
is built fine without this snippet.
Note: with my automake 1,15.1 (built from source), I get a spurious diff
in Makefile.in, where the
