    <note>
      <anchor id="pie-ssp-info" xreflabel="note on PIE and SSP"/>
      <para>
        PIE (position-independent executables) are
        binary programs that can be loaded anywhere in memory.  Without PIE,
        the security feature named ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization)
        can be applied for the shared libraries, but not for the executables
        themselves.  Enabling PIE allows ASLR for the executables in addition to
        the shared libraries, and mitigates some attacks based on fixed
        addresses of sensitive code or data in the executables.
      </para>
      <para>
        SSP (Stack Smashing Protection) is a technique to ensure
        that the parameter stack is not corrupted. Stack corruption can,
        for example, alter the return address of a subroutine,
        thus transferring control to some dangerous code
        (existing in the program or shared libraries, or injected by the
        attacker somehow).

    <important>
      <para>In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered
      important, but it takes a long time. First-time builders are
      encouraged to run the test suite.  The time to run the tests can be
      reduced significantly by adding -jx to the <command>make -k check</command> command below,
      where x is the number of CPU cores on your system.</para>
    </important>

   <para>One set of tests in the GCC test suite is known to exhaust the default
   stack, so increase the stack size prior to running the tests:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">ulimit -s 32768</userinput></screen>

    <para>Test the results as a non-privileged user, but do not stop at errors:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">chown -Rv tester .
su tester -c "PATH=$PATH make -k check"</userinput></screen>

    <para>To extract a summary of the test suite results, run:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="test">../contrib/test_summary</userinput></screen>

    <para>To filter out only the summaries, pipe the output through
    <userinput>grep -A7 Summ</userinput>.</para>

    <para>Results can be compared with those located at <ulink
    url="&test-results;"/> and
    <ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/"/>.</para>

 <para><!--Two tests named <filename>pr104610.c</filename> and
    <filename>pr69482-1.c</filename> are known to fail because the test
    files does not account for the
    <parameter>- -enable-default-ssp</parameter> option.-->
    <!-- https://gcc.gnu.org/PR106375 and https://gcc.gnu.org/PR109353 -->
    Two tests named <filename>copy.cc</filename> and
    <filename>pr56837.c</filename> are known to fail.
    <!-- https://gcc.gnu.org/PR107855#c6 -->
    Additionally, several tests in the
    <filename class='directory'>vect</filename> directory are known to fail
    if the hardware does not support AVX.</para>

    <para>
      With Glibc-2.38, the analyzer tests named
      <filename>data-model-4.c</filename> and
      <filename>conftest-1.c</filename> 
        are known to fail.
      In the asan tests, several tests in <filename>asan_test.C</filename> 
        are known to fail.
      The test named <filename>interception-malloc-test-1.C</filename> 
        is known to fail.
    </para>

    <para>A few unexpected failures cannot always be avoided. The GCC developers
    are usually aware of these issues, but have not resolved them yet.
    Unless the test results are vastly different from those at the above URL,
    it is safe to continue.</para>

    <!--note><para>
      On some combinations of kernel configuration and AMD processors
      there may be more than 1100 failures in the gcc.target/i386/mpx
      tests (which are designed to test the MPX option on recent
      Intel processors). These can safely be ignored on AMD
      processors. These tests will also fail on Intel processors if MPX support
      is not enabled in the kernel even though it is present on the CPU.

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>The GCC build directory is owned by <systemitem class="username">
    tester</systemitem> now, and the ownership of the installed header
    directory (and its content) is incorrect.  Change the ownership to the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user and group:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">chown -v -R root:root \
    /usr/lib/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/include{,-fixed}</userinput></screen>

    <para>Create a symlink required by the <ulink
    url="https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s09.html">FHS</ulink>
    for "historical" reasons.</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -svr /usr/bin/cpp /usr/lib</userinput></screen>

    <para>Many packages use the name <command>cc</command> to call the C
    compiler.  We've already created <command>cc</command> as a symlink in
    <xref linkend='ch-tools-gcc-pass2'/>, create its man page as a symlink
    as well:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv gcc.1 /usr/share/man/man1/cc.1</userinput></screen>

    <para>Add a compatibility symlink to enable building programs with
    Link Time Optimization (LTO):</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sfv ../../libexec/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/liblto_plugin.so \
        /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now that our final toolchain is in place, it is important to again ensure
    that compiling and linking will work as expected. We do this by performing
    some sanity checks:</para>

<screen><userinput>echo 'int main(){}' &gt; dummy.c
cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &amp;&gt; dummy.log
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'</userinput></screen>

  <para>There should be no errors,
  and the output of the last command will be (allowing for
  platform-specific differences in the dynamic linker name):</para>

<screen><computeroutput>[Requesting program interpreter: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]</computeroutput></screen>

  <para>Now make sure that we're set up to use the correct start files:</para>

<screen><userinput>grep -E -o '/usr/lib.*/S?crt[1in].*succeeded' dummy.log</userinput></screen>

  <para>The output of the last command should be:</para>

<screen><computeroutput>/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/Scrt1.o succeeded
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crti.o succeeded
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/../../../../lib/crtn.o succeeded</computeroutput></screen>

  <para>Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly.
  The difference will be the name of the directory
  after <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/gcc</filename>. The important
  thing to look for here is that <command>gcc</command> has found all three
  <filename>crt*.o</filename> files under the
  <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directory.</para>

  <para>Verify that the compiler is searching for the correct header
  files:</para>

<screen><userinput>grep -B4 '^ /usr/include' dummy.log</userinput></screen>

  <para>This command should return the following output:</para>

<screen><computeroutput>#include &lt;...&gt; search starts here:
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include
 /usr/local/include
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc-version;/include-fixed
 /usr/include</computeroutput></screen>

   <para>Again, the directory named after your target triplet may be
   different than the above, depending on your system architecture.</para>

  <para>Next, verify that the new linker is being used with the correct search paths:</para>

<screen><userinput>grep 'SEARCH.*/usr/lib' dummy.log |sed 's|; |\n|g'</userinput></screen>

  <para>References to paths that have components with '-linux-gnu' should
  be ignored, but otherwise the output of the last command should be:</para>

<screen><computeroutput>SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib");</computeroutput></screen>

   <para arch="default">A 32-bit system may use a few other directories. For example, here
   is the output from an i686 machine:</para>

<!-- not using entities here as the dir names has nothing to do with multilib -->
<screen arch="default"><computeroutput>SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib32")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib");</computeroutput></screen>

  <para>Next make sure that we're using the correct libc:</para>

<screen><userinput>grep "/lib.*/libc.so.6 " dummy.log</userinput></screen>

  <para>The output of the last command should be:</para>

<screen><computeroutput>attempt to open /usr/lib/libc.so.6 succeeded</computeroutput></screen>

  <para>Make sure GCC is using the correct dynamic linker:</para>

<screen><userinput>grep found dummy.log</userinput></screen>

  <para>The output of the last command should be (allowing for
  platform-specific differences in dynamic linker name):</para>

<screen><computeroutput>found ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 at /usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2</computeroutput></screen>

  <para>If the output does not appear as shown above or is not received
  at all, then something is seriously wrong. Investigate and retrace the
  steps to find out where the problem is and correct it. <!--The most likely
  reason is that something went wrong with the specs file adjustment.--> Any
  issues should be resolved before continuing with the process.</para>

  <para>Once everything is working correctly, clean up the test files:</para>

<screen><userinput>rm -v dummy.c a.out dummy.log</userinput></screen>

    <para>Finally, move a misplaced file:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">mkdir -pv /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib
mv -v /usr/lib/*gdb.py /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib</userinput></screen>
