When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.

Currently ports have to call SIM_AC_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT explicitly in
order to make the configure flag available. There's no real reason
to not allow this flag for all ports, so move it to the common sim
macro. This way we get standard behavior across all ports too.
The --enable-sim-hostendian flag was purely so people had an escape route
for when cross-compiling. This is because historically, AC_C_BIGENDIAN
did not work in those cases. That was fixed a while ago though, so we can
require that macro everywhere now and simplify a good bit of code.
Rather than re-invent endian defines, as well as maintain our own list
of OS & arch-specific includes, punt all that logic in favor of the bfd
ones already set up and maintained elsewhere. We already rely on the
bfd library, so leveraging the endian aspect should be fine.
This partially reverts commits:
105dd264de3df3af7c3fc4892a6b379e3042ec07
Now that dv-sockser is handled entirely by the common build logic, the
failure these targets were hitting isn't really possible anymore. Lets
reset their hardware status back to defaulting to on. Some of these
were set to "always" previously, but we don't support that anymore.
At 2974be626, frv-elf fails at the dv_sockser_install declaration in
sim/frv/tconfig.in. But, with the trivial #include's added (see other
sims tconfig.in, like cris or mn10300), it *still* fails building
sim/frv/devices.c because of a missing UART_INCHAR_ADDR. I have no
insight into what'd be a valid value, except that there's a definition
in m32r, which was probably used as a template with frv not finished.
Simulated hardware should not have been be enabled, and was indeed not
enabled by default before 94c63d78f (2013-03-23), where it seems to
have been enabled for no simulator-specific reason. Except
dv-sockser.o wasn't enabled even then: sim/frv/config.in wasn't
regenerated, so HAVE_DV_SOCKSER was never defined. Maybe people were
fooled by this in sim/frv/Makefile.in at that time (these two lines
were later deleted, in 73e76d20):
CONFIG_DEVICES = dv-sockser.o
CONFIG_DEVICES =
(As it seems people have missed it before: the second line overrides
the first...) I'm guessing these lines were part of the
never-completed hardware-support. Commit 73e76d20 attempted to move
the imagined dv-sockser.o from $(CONFIG_DEVICES) to $(frv_extra_objs)
but missed that AC_SUBST would only affect @frv_extra_objs@ (not
$(frv_extra_objs) per se) so nothing happened regarding sockser:
dv-sockser.o was not compiled and HAVE_DV_SOCKSER was not defined.
I'm removing the $(frv_extra_objs) too, to avoid confusion. The best
action seems to be disabling all hardware support by default again
until a specific sim maintainer finishes the work.
Make check-sim for frv-elf shows no failures after this.
sim/frv:
* configure.ac: Default simulator hardware to off again. Remove
dead frv_extra_objs substitution.
* configure: Regenerate.
* Makefile.in: Remove unused frv_extra_objs.
These sims have optional support for the dv-sockser model, so do not make
them hard failures. The Makefile made it seem like they didn't actually
support things dynamically, but a further code dive into the source and
the Makefile shows that things work out.
Automake likes to dump macros automatically used into the aclocal.m4
file, but the common/aclocal.m4 naming prevents that. So rename it
to the more normal "acinclude.m4" so the aclocal tool can work.

Now that the sourceware tree generally requires autoconf-2.64, update
the sim tree to require that too.
This allows us to drop the long standing SIM_AC_COMMON/common.m4
workaround as autoconf 2.64+ seems to work for me.
