Outright removal might be hard to pull off, but I do hope to have at least one current 4.2.1 architecture migrated to external GCC instead for 12.0 (if not more than one). I wrote some notes about this today at the indicated URL. I presume that this won't make it for 12.0, so perhaps the "blocks" attribute should be cleared? Yeah, I have a lingering issue I haven't debugged in base/gcc that causes --sysroot to still find libraries in /usr/lib that I haven't run to ground. Warner posted a timeline for GCC 4.2.1 removal at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2019-August/019674.html Add the libssp removal exp-run (currently failing) as a reminder to get rid of it. A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Thu Nov 7 19:37:26 UTC 2019 New revision: 354468 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/354468 Log: arch.7: claim 12.x as the last architecture with sparc64 support GCC 4.2.1 is being removed before FreeBSD 13, as are some other components required by FreeBSD/sparc64. Contemporary GCC does not build and there is currently no indication that anyone is going to address these issues. PR: 228919, 233405, 236839, 239851 Changes: head/share/man/man7/arch.7 Scheduled for 2020-02-29 Code review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23124 A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Sat Feb 29 03:25:53 UTC 2020 New revision: 358454 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/358454 Log: remove GCC 4.2.1 build infrastructure As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports). GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V. Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
