Bug ID: 2278107 Summary: The avr32 target is not 32-bit avr. It's 8-bit avr Product: Fedora Version: 40 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: cross-gcc Severity: low Assignee: dhowells@redhat.com Reporter: asgj@gomspace.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: dan@danny.cz, dhowells@redhat.com, epel-packagers-sig@lists.fedoraproject.org, lkundrak@v3.sk Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
I am currently stuck with some legacy hardware based on the AT32UC0512C 32-bit avr MCU and stumbled opun this package by accident and got very excited as the official atmel/Microchip gcc compiler distribution is based on a very old gcc version (4.4.7). Opun further investigation, it seems that this was just a wild goose chase / red herring as the package simply wraps --target=avr-linux, which is just 8-bit avr.
I'm not sure what to to about this. Perhaps rename the package to avoid further confusion, or if there's a rationale behind the naming, maybe update the package description from "Cross-build binary utilities for avr32-linux-gnu" to "Cross-build binary utilities for avr32-linux-gnu (8-bit avr)" or something similar.
Reproducible: Always

--- Comment #1 from Dan Horák dan@danny.cz --- Perhaps the avr-linux target was a multi-arch one that covered both 8-bit avr and 32-bit avr32 in the past ...

--- Comment #2 from Dan Horák dan@danny.cz --- I think the renaming can done in 2 steps using the %do_symlink macro in the spec file.

--- Comment #3 from Peter Robinson pbrobinson@gmail.com --- I took a quick look at this when rebasing to gcc 14.1 but there also needs to be matching changes to cross-binutils.

--- Comment #4 from Dan Horák dan@danny.cz --- yup, the same mechanism ("symlink") is available there, I will prepare patches for the spec files.
