[developer] HEADS-UP: 16892 will definitively break building with gcc 4.4 primary

[developer] HEADS-UP: 16892 will definitively break building with gcc 4.4 primary

[Andy Fiddaman]

Building illumos-gate using gcc 4.4 as a primary compiler hasn't been
officially supported since late 2021, but the change I'm about to integrate
is the first one I'm aware of that will definitely break this. Following
this change, the 32-bit "libast" library will not link when built with
gcc 4.4.4.

    Issue:  https://www.illumos.org/issues/16892
    Review: https://code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/3811

I doubt anyone still cares, but I'm sending this just in case! The fix will
be to at least partially revert this change.

Andy

Of course, feel free.

It is fairly straightforward. If you choose import the 16892 change from illumos-gate, you will have to re-apply https://www.illumos.org/issues/13635 on top.

Thanks quite much,

indeed that looks quite easy, I will apply both of them to my gcc4 branch
in the given order.

Thanks much for this heads up!
And please continue to do so regarding gcc4 issues...
probably next year #2757 will be gone... I have most of the work
done by Toomas integrated into my SPARC oi using gcc-11 :-)
and 2023/09 was building/booting fine using gcc-11 - but never got
released due to above bug.

Many regards
Klaus
