Description Enji Cooper freebsd_committer 2017-10-22 21:38:03 UTC 
In order for external toolchains to work with --coverage, libgcov.a needs to be present. This isn't the case for amd64 and riscv64.

New revision: 324874
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/324874

Log:
  Remove BROKEN_OPTIONS/MK_COVERAGE=no for gcc cross-toolchain reliant archs

  The cross-toolchain gcc toolchains aren't installing libgcov.a, but the host
  toolchain variants are. Don't hack around broken packages in the base system.

New revision: 324875
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/324875

Log:
  Disable MK_COVERAGE in Makefile.inc1 when working with broken gcc packages

  It makes more sense to do this in the top-level Makefile, instead of down in
  src.opts.mk .

lwhsu@ maintains devel/riscv64-gcc -- giving bug to him.

Hi Enji,

Is this bug still relevant? If not, I'd like to close it. FWIW I don't see libgcov.a included as part of any of the amd64 gcc ports.

Comment 5 Mitchell Horne freebsd_committer 2021-02-11 18:44:39 UTC 
This has lapsed. If the runtime-coverage work resumes, a new bug should be opened against devel/freebsd-gcc, which is the preferred GCC cross-toolchain these days.
