The proverbial rock and hard place :-(

Would a cdl option for the compiler version used be too ugly?


We don't have very good handling of options like this.  Also, sadly,
the compiler options are somewhat spread around rather than being
localized (e.g. in the architecture HAL only).  Currently there
are 96! occurrences of -finit-priority, so making any change in this
area will be non-trivial.

We recently made some changes in the makefile rule template.  Perhaps
we could just make a similar one for this case.

As Bart was only just recently saying, the only real alternative is to have a step that at the beginning of the build runs $(COMMAND_PREFIX)gcc --version and parses the output, and adjusts the makefile options accordingly. Icky.


Something along these lines:

I just tested this mini-makefile which works fine:
COMMAND_PREFIX=/opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin/arm-elf-

COMPILERVER := $(shell $(COMMAND_PREFIX)gcc --version | head -1 | cut -f3 -d " ")
COMPILERMAJOR := $(shell echo $(COMPILERVER) | cut -f1 -d .)
COMPILERMINOR := $(shell echo $(COMPILERVER) | cut -f2 -d .)
COMPILERPATCHLEVEL := $(shell echo $(COMPILERVER) | cut -f3 -d .)


all:
	echo $(COMPILERMAJOR) $(COMPILERMINOR) $(COMPILERPATCHLEVEL)

If y'all (Hi Bart) is happy that this is the way to do it, I'll put the appropriate stuff in pkgconf/rules.mak
