Re: cygwin64 problems after update: gcc 4.8.3-2, cygcheck -p

[Lakhsa <lakhsa at posteo dot net>]

After some extended research and trials with a fresh OpenSSL master
clone openssl32_trial this seems to be a problem of the cygwin ports of GCC.
I've added some information about this - maybe one of the developers
listening in on the OpenSSL project could have a closer look.

Wrt OpenSSL development this is not a serious problem, merely annoying
as this requires separate 32-bit and 64-bit cygwin installations to
maintain.
The 'cygcheck -p' seg fault is also not serious, merely similarly
annoying as the 32-bit installation is required to find out which
package contains a specific binary.

Any useful advice will be greatly appreciated to get away from having to
maintain two separate development environments again.

Cheers Lakhsa

P.S.: Trial for the interested: OpenSSL build configs 'Cygwin' and
'debug-Cygwin' with gcc options '-m32 -march=i686' to build 32-bit code.

Problem is present in the cygwin64 packages for gcc-core 4.8.3-2 as well
as gcc-core 4.8.2-3. Error occurs very early in the build process when
building crypto/objects:

make[2]: Entering directory
'/cygdrive/d/dev/openssl/openssl32_trial/crypto/objects'
gcc [...] -c -o obj_dat.o obj_dat.c
obj_dat.c: In function âOBJ_create_objectsâ:
obj_dat.c:781:2: error: unrecognizable insn:
}

__ctype_ptr__>)) obj_dat.c:747 -1
(nil))
obj_dat.c:781:2: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2154

This problem crops up on a regular basis in the gcc.gnu.org bug tracker,
e.g. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57099. It is not
present in cygwin64 package gcc-core-4.9.0-1, but that version results
in a linker error very late in the build process when compiling/linking
apps code. That's may be due to inconsistent/incomplete installation, so
another problem.
