Re: v8 compiled 2.0.1 dumps core in sh on SS4(110) [mirco sparc II] but not on a turbo sparc

Unfortunately, pulling up /bin/sh and usr.bin/printf sources
result in the same solid problem.

Can any one give me a quick advise, how to modify the makefile to 
build sh with debug info?
The sh used seams to be an ash.
And my SS4 seems to be the right machine to lock for that problem. sig.

As a work around an sh for a 1.6.2 Distribution can be used.
But also libtool seems to suffer. (Only now and than)

DBG=-g 

should do the trick, either in /etc/mk.conf or with build.sh -VDBG=-g
(I think).

Build broken when using STRIPFLAG=-s

Hi,

it seems the sparc build is broken when using STRIPFLAG=-s.

I've built a full release of 2.0_STABLE as of yesterday without STRIPFLAG
and it worked fine.

Then I changed destdir and releasedir and added STRIPFLAG=-s to the
configuration. (To see how much the difference would be, I have a 1 GB HDD
in that box). But it broke on:

install ===> sys/arch/sparc/stand/bootxx
#   install  /usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip/usr/mdec/bootxx
STRIP=/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/tools/bin/sparc--netbsdelf-strip
/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/tools/bin/nbinstall -U -M
/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip/METALOG -D
/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip -h sha1 -N /usr/src/etc -c -p -r -o
root -g wheel -m 444  -s  bootxx
/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip/usr/mdec/bootxx
strip: /usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip/usr/mdec/inst.16695a: File
format not recognized
nbinstall: stripping
/usr/home/krille/sparc-build/dest-strip/usr/mdec/inst.16695a: No such file
or directory

It seems there's nothing to strip in this file and strip shouldn't be run on
it because it can't handle this.

It seems the culprit is /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/bootxx/Makefile. There
is an empty definition of STRIPFLAG, but below the inclusion of

SparcStation with no FPU and NetBSD-2.0

Hallo,

i got some nice piece of hardware yesterday, a Synoptics LattisNet
Concentrator 3030 with Network Control Engine 3040, which is some OPUStation
Personal Mainframe 5000, a SparcStation1 clone. Booting NetBSD works fine, but
some commands give Floating Point Exceptions due to missing FPU (newfs is one
of those, which really is a problem :)

So some questions here:

Is it possible to run NetBSD 2.0 without FPU on this box?
As i have seen, FPU emulation is not yet done (and maybe never will), is this
true?
Did anyone try to build a complete 2.0 with -mno-fpu to gcc? This would be the
next try.
Or should i just forget about the hope to get the machine running as-is and
hunt for a Weitek 3170 here?

Btw... If someone wants a 2.0 release built and optimized for SuperSparc (as
in SparcStation 20 MP with 2 SM71 here), just tell me where to put it. Some
packages are also built (cyrus, sendmail, openldap, pine and so), where the
only problem occured in gmp, where gcc seems to break some optimizations,
clamav at least tells about wrong signatures. I fixed this by building gmp
without optimizations.

...Michael

I've done exactly that with the mac68k port.  You can get a tar file which 
expands overtop of 2.0 at:

ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-2.0-mac68ksoftfloat/softfloat-20040930-2.0.tar.gz

Basically all that happens for the mac68k changes are:

-msoft-float is passed to gcc

Okay, i'll dive into this the weekend i think. As my SS20 needed 3 days to
build 2.0 (from a default 2.0), i think, it won't be too much faster wirh the
now running 2.0 for supersparc. But as i don't like cross-compiling too much,
this will be the way. Results (maybe with patches) will follow as soon as the
whole thing looks stable.

Whatever suits you but you may want to keep in mind that the vast bulk
of the architectures that NetBSD 2.0 was built for were done using cross
compilation on a fast machine.

To my surprise moving the .include didn't help, but your suggestion works.
Thanks.

SPARCbook and wscons

Hello,

two questions:
1. Does anyone else here use NetBSD 2.x on a SPARCbook 3GX? I just resurrected mine and dug up some hardware info.
2. What about wscons? I recently added wscons support to the cgsix driver on sparc64, it should work on
sparc32 too but I can't really test it because the only box with SBus slots I have is an Ultra1. Volunteers? 
The reason for question 2 is - I'm playing with the SPARCbook's graphics controller, the documentation
from Tadpole is quite sketchy but the holes are filled by XFree86 3.3 so I guess it wouldn't be hard to add
acceleration to pnozz*. The obvious way to go would be rasops and wsdisplay but I don't see any wscons
support in sparc32 ( well, wscons attachments for keyboard and mouse work on sparc64, more or less, so all
that's missing is framebuffer support )

have fun
Michael
