The breakdown:
* CC_FOR_TARGET and CXX_FOR_TARGET were not correctly re-read
from autoconf's configuration cache (config.cache)
* If <target>-[gcc|g++] was not found while running configure,
the config macros tried to use other (wrong) compilers (e.g. cc).
Changes:
* New RTEMS_PROG_CC macro (aclocal/prog-cc.m4).
* New RTEMS_PROG_CXX macro (aclocal/prog-cxx.m4)
* Moved a shell script fragment from configure.in to a
new m4-autoconf macro (New file: aclocal/tool-prefix.m4)
* Minor changes to configure.in
I tested it with linux/posix (native gcc/primary libc) and
sh-rtems/gensh1 on a linux host and didn't notice any bugs
related to the problems mentioned above. There seem to be
more bugs with the posix bsp, but I consider them minor as
the build run completed successfully. It is just too late
for me to attempt to fix them now.
6) The macro files from aclocal/*.m4 contain the buggy sed-rules formerly
contained in aclocal..m4, i.e. the sed/sort-bug fix to aclocal.m4 didn't
make it to aclocal/*.m4. I think I should feel guilty for that - Obviously I
submitted the contents of an old aclocal-directory last time. - Sorry.
It adds make rules for reconfiguring build-trees ("make Makefile") and
adds dependency rules for configure and friends (i.e. calls autoconf).
Most of this code has been "borrowed" from automake and was adapted to
rtems.
Addionally, I added automatic generation of the "aclocal.m4"-file by
"aclocal" (from the automake package). Therefore I splitted aclocal.m4
into several separate files (attached to this mail), each containing one
of rtems customized autoconf/m4-macros and have put them into a new
subdirectory "aclocal". Normal users won't be influenced and won't even
need this, unless they try to modify configure.in.
The main advantage of this is: these aclocal/m4-macros become reusable
and easier to administer. As a disadvantage, rtems becomes dependent of
having aclocal/automake installed. To keep building rtems functional if
autoconf or aclocal isn't installed, the related Makefile commands are
prefixed by "-" -- only an error message should be issued by "make".
