Hi,

I've noticed that libitm is always rebuild with a non-bootstrap tree even 
with merely a sequence of two makes.  The reason turns out to be that 
installation of unwind.h from libgcc, which is always done with a simple 
make:

# make
# make -d
...
dest=../.././gcc/include/tmp$$-unwind.h; \
        cp unwind.h $dest; \
        chmod a+r $dest; \
        sh ../../../gcc/libgcc/../move-if-change $dest ../.././gcc/include/unwind.h

(this is still fine, because it uses move-if-change)

...

make install-leaf DESTDIR=../.././gcc \
          slibdir= libsubdir= MULTIOSDIR=.
...
/bin/sh ../../../gcc/libgcc/../mkinstalldirs ../.././gcc/include
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 unwind.h ../.././gcc/include

This one updates the mtime of gcc/include/unwind.h, and is the problematic 
one, ultimately resulting in:

     Prerequisite `/matz/gcc/svn/real-trunk/dev/gcc/include/unwind.h' is 
     newer than target `aatree.lo'.

And all of libitm (our only c++ library) is rebuilt as all objects therein 
have a dependency on unwind.h.

There are multiple variants to fix:
a) use install -p (or -C) generally for all INSTALLs in all makefiles
b) use a) for only libgcc Makefile
c) don't repeatedly install the same files on a remake even though nothing 
   was compiled newly (perhaps some stamp files could be used to make 
   leaf-install a no-op if nothing new was built?)

I've checked that hardcoding -p for INSTALL in the top-level Makefile 
solves this problem (see patch), but perhaps you prefer one of the others 
(or can think of something else entirely).


Ciao,
Michael.

This should have been fixed by rev 187839 after the thread
initiated at

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-05/msg01596.html

Could you please tell if that works for you ?

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

Super, yes, that works.

Though I still wonder if the whole copy-over-to-gcc business shouldn't be 
dependend on anything newly built.  I can't see the use in copying
over the same unchanged files to a place where they already are.
And generally installing with -p also can't hurt, can it?


Ciao,

 Great :)

 I suppose not but don't know the full story here.
