Add --disable-static-c++-tests option [BZ #31797]

2024-07-02T07:51:34Z

By default, if the C++ toolchain lacks support for static linking, configure fails to find the C++ header files and the glibc build fails. The --disable-static-c++-link-check option allows the glibc build to finish, but static C++ tests will fail if the C++ toolchain doesn't have the necessary static C++ libraries which may not be easily installed. Add --disable-static-c++-tests option to skip the static C++ link check and tests. This fixes BZ #31797. Signed-off-by: H.J. Lu

Add --disable-static-c++-link-check option [BZ #31412]

2024-07-02T07:51:34Z

The current minimum GCC version of glibc build is GCC 6.2 or newer. But building i686 glibc with GCC 6.4 on Fedora 40 failed since the C++ header files couldn't be found which was caused by the static C++ link check failure due to missing __divmoddi4 which was referenced in i686 libc.a and added to GCC 7. Add --disable-static-c++-link-check configure option to disable the static C++ link test. The newly built i686 libc.a can be used by GCC 6.4 to create static C++ tests. This fixes BZ #31412.

Make sure INSTALL is ASCII plaintext again

2024-04-30T07:54:07Z

This reverts commit 84e93afc7 ("Switch to UTF-8 for INSTALL") and reinstates commit c14f2e4aa ("Make sure INSTALL is ASCII plaintext") and regenerates INSTALL. It turns out that different versions of makeinfo (texinfo/texi2any), at least versions 7.0.3 and 7.1, put unicode quote glyphs in different places (specifically whether contractions like you'd, don't, aren't or you'll use ’ or '). This breaks the make dist target as used for (snapshot) releases, which have a check on the regenerated INSTALL file. Using --disable-encoding generates the same plaintext ASCII on all versions. An alternative would be to regenerate INSTALL with texinfo 7.1 and require at least that version. But that seems too soon while various distros don't have 7.1 yet. We can try again to use UTF-8 for INSTALL in a couple of years. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer
