This commit alters how we compile LLVM by default enabling the WebAssembly
backend. This then also adds the wasm32-unknown-unknown target to get compiled
on the `cross` builder and distributed through rustup. Tests are not yet enabled
for this target but that should hopefully be coming soon!
... specifically `datadir`, `infodir`, and `localstatedir`. These were
already accepted by `configure.py`, but it didn't have any place to put
the values.
While the `config.toml.example` comments say "we automatically check the
version by default," we actually didn't. That check was badly out of
date, only allowing 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7. This it now updated to the new
3.9 minimum requirement, and truly enabled by default.
This commit rewrites our ancient `./configure` script from shell into Python.
The impetus for this change is to remove `config.mk` which is just a vestige of
the old makefile build system at this point. Instead all configuration is now
solely done through `config.toml`.
The python script allows us to more flexibly program (aka we can use loops
easily) and create a `config.toml` which is based off `config.toml.example`.
This way we can preserve comments and munge various values as we see fit.
It is intended that the configure script here is a drop-in replacement for the
previous configure script, no functional change is intended. Also note that the
rationale for this is also because our build system requires Python, so having a
python script a bit earlier shouldn't cause too many problems.
Closes#40730
This controls the value of the crt-static feature used when building the
standard library for a target, as well as the compiler itself when that
target is the host.
Some users of the build system change the git sha on every build due to
utilizing git to push changes to a remote server. This allows them to
simply configure that away instead of depending on custom patches to
rustbuild.
