<title>LoongArch: Add LoongArch architecture detection to __float128 support in libgfortran and libquadmath [PR119408].</title>

In GCC14, LoongArch added __float128 as an alias for _Float128.
In commit r15-8962, support for q/Q suffixes for 128-bit floating point
numbers.  This will cause the compiler to automatically link libquadmath
when compiling Fortran programs.  But on LoongArch `long double` is
IEEE quad, so there is no need to implement libquadmath.
This causes link failure.

<title>libquadmath: Restore linking against -lm on most targets [PR112963]</title>

<id>fdce86c9f07eb4f95ba438491c2b151e94be7ef2</id>
<content type='text'>
The r14-4825 change added AC_CHECK_LIBM to libquadmath configure.ac and
replaced unconditional linking with -lm with linking with $(LIBM)
determined by that.
Unfortunately that broke bare metal targets because AC_CHECK_LIBM attempts
to link against -lm and this was after (unconditional) GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
Then r14-4863 partially reverted that change (no longer AC_CHECK_LIBM),
but didn't revert the Makefile.am change of -lm to $(LIBM), which had
the effect that libquadmath is not linked against -lm on any arch.
That is a serious problem though e.g. on Linux, because libquadmath calls
a few libm entrypoints and e.g. on powerpc64le the underlinking can cause
crashes in IFUNC resolvers of libm.
Instead of adding further reversion of the r14-4825 commit and use -lm
unconditionally again, this patch adds an AC_CHECK_LIBM like substitutions
with the *-ncr-sysv4.3* target handling removed (I think we don't support
such targets, especially not in libquadmath) and with the default case
replaced by simple using -lm.  That is something in between using -lm
unconditionally and what AC_CHECK_LIBM does if it would work on bare metal
- we know from GCC 13 and earlier that we can link -lm on all targets
libquadmath is built for, and just white list a couple of targets which
we know don't have separate -lm and don't want to link against that
(like Darwin, Cygwin, ...).

<content type='text'>
Recent Darwin versions place contraints on the use of run paths
specified in environment variables.  This breaks some assumptions
in the GCC build.

This change allows the user to configure a Darwin build to use
'@rpath/libraryname.dylib' in library names and then to add an
embedded runpath to executables (and libraries with dependents).

The embedded runpath is added by default unless the user adds
'-nodefaultrpaths' to the link line.

For an installed compiler, it means that any executable built with
that compiler will reference the runtimes installed with the
compiler (equivalent to hard-coding the library path into the name
of the library).

During build-time configurations  any "-B" entries will be added to
the runpath thus the newly-built libraries will be found by exes.

Since the install name is set in libtool, that decision needs to be
available here (but might also cause dependent ones in Makefiles,
so we need to export a conditional).

This facility is not available for Darwin 8 or earlier, however the
existing environment variable runpath does work there.

We default this on for systems where the external DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
does not work and off for Darwin 8 or earlier.  For systems that can

Recent Darwin versions place contraints on the use of run paths
specified in environment variables.  This breaks some assumptions
in the GCC build.

This change allows the user to configure a Darwin build to use
'@rpath/libraryname.dylib' in library names and then to add an
embedded runpath to executables (and libraries with dependents).

The embedded runpath is added by default unless the user adds
'-nodefaultrpaths' to the link line.

For an installed compiler, it means that any executable built with
that compiler will reference the runtimes installed with the
compiler (equivalent to hard-coding the library path into the name
of the library).

During build-time configurations  any "-B" entries will be added to
the runpath thus the newly-built libraries will be found by exes.

Since the install name is set in libtool, that decision needs to be
available here (but might also cause dependent ones in Makefiles,
so we need to export a conditional).

This facility is not available for Darwin 8 or earlier, however the
existing environment variable runpath does work there.

We default this on for systems where the external DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
does not work and off for Darwin 8 or earlier.  For systems that can
use either method, if the value is unset, we use the default (which
is currently DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH).

	* configure: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac: Do not add default runpaths to GCC exes
	when we are building -static-libstdc++/-static-libgcc (the

<title>libtool.m4: fix the NM="/nm/over/here -B/option/with/path" case</title>

<id>f330710912229678b65def1f6f52765baa3d0f7a</id>
<content type='text'>
My previous nm patch handled all cases but one -- if the user set NM in
the environment to a path which contained an option, libtool's nm
detection tries to run nm against a copy of nm with the options in it:
e.g. if NM was set to "nm --blargle", and nm was found in /usr/bin, the
test would try to run "/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm --blargle".
This is unlikely to be desirable: in this case we should run
"/usr/bin/nm --blargle /usr/bin/nm".

Furthermore, as part of this nm has to detect when the passed-in $NM
contains a path, and in that case avoid doing a path search itself.
This too was thrown off if an option contained something that looked
like a path, e.g. NM="nm -B../prev-gcc"; libtool then tries to run
"nm -B../prev-gcc nm" which rarely works well (and indeed it looks
to see whether that nm exists, finds it doesn't, and wrongly concludes
that nm -p or whatever does not work).

Fix all of these by clipping all options (defined as everything
including and after the first " -") before deciding whether nm
contains a path (but not using the clipped value for anything else),
and then removing all options from the path-modified nm before
looking to see whether that nm existed.

NM=my-nm now does a path search and runs e.g.
  /usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm

NM=/usr/bin/my-nm now avoids a path search and runs e.g.
  /usr/bin/my-nm -B /usr/bin/my-nm

NM="my-nm -p../wombat" now does a path search and runs e.g.
  /usr/bin/my-nm -p../wombat -B /usr/bin/my-nm

NM="../prev-binutils/new-nm -B../prev-gcc" now avoids a path search:
  ../prev-binutils/my-nm -B../prev-gcc -B ../prev-binutils/my-nm

This seems to be all combinations, including those used by GCC bootstrap
(which, before this commit, fails to bootstrap when configured
--with-build-config=bootstrap-lto, because the lto plugin is now using
--export-symbols-regex, which requires libtool to find a working nm,
while also using -B../prev-gcc to point at the lto plugin associated
with the GCC just built.)

Regenerate all affected configure scripts.

Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system
nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for
-export-symbols-regex support.  Some nms need specific flags to turn on
BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM.
Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws:

 - it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null.  Some platforms
   reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this
   has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a
   specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this
   error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce
   BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything
   but an error message out of nm -B.  This is fixable by nm'ing *nm
   itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it).

 - the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the
   grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot
   reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but
   also flags forcing BSD-format output.  Worse yet, one such "user" is
   the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for
   nor specifies any BSD-format flags.  So platforms needing BSD-format
   flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking
   -export-symbols-regex on such platforms.  Libtool also needs to
   augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally,
   augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the
   same.

   One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been
   provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and
   otherwise do the path search as usual.  (If the nm specified doesn't
   work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but
   the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.)

(Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where
*that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.)

ChangeLog:

	* libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM): Try BSDization flags with a user-provided
	NM, if there is one.  Run nm on itself, not on /dev/null, to avoid
	errors from nms that refuse to work on non-regular files.  Remove
	other workarounds for this problem.  Strip out blank lines from the
	nm output.
