[devel] Toolchain, Java and ARM

[devel] Toolchain, Java and ARM

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

Hello,

I've updated binutils to FC 2.20.51.0.2-1 and gcc to FC 4.4.2-4. Also
I've implemented
java bootstrap facility in gcc and bootstrap gcc4.4-java on ARM using it.

During bootstrap I had to do several hacks:

1. I had to build hacky version eclipse-ecj. Since currently we don't
have full java
support on ARM and cannot build eclipse, I took eclipse-ecj binary package from
i586 and repackage it for ARM with needed provides. As I can see content of
eclipse-ecj is identical on all platforms. The different is only in
paths. Is it possible
to repackage it as noarch using %_datadir(not %_libdir)? It will make bootstrap
java less tricky.

2. I've built jdkgcj using --without sinjdoc. Probably, we should
change the spec
to avoid use sinjdoc until we have full java support on ARM.

3. I've built hacky version of java-1.5.0-gcj-aot-compile without dependences
to jpackage-*, since we don't have jpackage on ARM yet.

Dmitry, merge my changes, please.

Anton, you can find repo with bootstraped java at sheeva:/space2/kas/repo.

Igor, could you help us to build full java environment on ARM?

If you consider these changes ready for Sisyphus, please go on and submit
them.  Remember that binutils has to be updated along with all other
packages that are linked with -lbfd, and gcc has to be updated along with
rebuild of jdkgcj.
