#2021 Build fails on archlinux ppc
When trying to build sdcc on an ibook G$ running archlinux ppc, I get the following error.
mv -f .deps/nm.Tpo .deps/nm.Po
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Werror -mtune=powerpc -mpowerpc-gfxopt -O2 -pipe -lm -o sdnm nm.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/libbfd.la ../libiberty/libiberty.a -lz

Compile and linker options are:
LDFLAGS="-lm"
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-doc\ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/sdcc-3.1.5
I am using the 20120515-7699 source code and have gpasm 0.14.1 installed correctly. I have tried several earlier versions with the same results.

I think I have this fixed, but I don't have a PPC system to test. It sounds like you are working from a source code snapshot package. Sometime in the next day or two a new snapshot will appear that has a revision level (it's the number after the date code) of 7766 or higher; please give it a try.
I now have a Linux PPC system to test with and can confirm that revision 7766 did fix this problem. However, revision 8194 (sync to binutils 2.23) reverted my changes and thus re-enabled this bug. We need to avoid adding targets to BUILD_INSTALL_MISC that we aren't actually going to build and/or install. Would removing references to BUILD_INSTALL_MISC in the Makefile be better than removing embedspu from configure?
Fixed in svn revision #8278.
Erik, the problem was that you removed the lines from configure.in, so I didn't notice the change while syncing to binutils 2.23. Now I commented out the problematic lines instead removing them.
I found out that embedspu is also assigned to variable EXTRA_SCRIPTS in Makefile.in, but it seems that it is never used...
Sorry for re-introducing the bug.

Hi,
Both my G3 and G4 iBooks have bad hard disks. My plan is to get one running this week. I will need to test sdcc build then. Right now I am in the middle of trying to battle a chronic illness so this may take longer that I anticipate. I'm "crossing my fingers"
Cheers,
Fred
