A new target, `s390x-unknown-linux-gnu`, has been added to the compiler
and can be used to build no_core/no_std Rust programs.
Known limitations:
- librustc_trans/cabi_s390x.rs is missing. This means no support for
`extern "C" fn`.
- No support for this arch in libc. This means std can be cross compiled
for this target.
This is a spiritual succesor to #34268/8531d581, in which we replaced a
number of matches of None to the unit value with `if let` conditionals
where it was judged that this made for clearer/simpler code (as would be
recommended by Manishearth/rust-clippy's `single_match` lint). The same
rationale applies to matches of None to the empty block.
Unfortunately on i686-pc-windows-gnu LLVM's answer to `--host-target` is
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` even though we're building in a 32-bit shell as well as
compiling 32-bit libraries. For now use Cargo's `HOST` environment variable to
determine whether we're doing a cross compilation or not.
Currently all multi-host builds assume the the build platform can run the
`llvm-config` binary generated for each host platform we're creating a compiler
for. Unfortunately this assumption isn't always true when cross compiling, so we
need to handle this case.
This commit alters the build script of `rustc_llvm` to understand when it's
running an `llvm-config` which is different than the platform we're targeting for.
Have all Cargo-built crates pass `--cfg cargobuild` and then add appropriate
`#[cfg]` definitions to all crates to avoid linking anything if this is passed.
This should help allow libstd to compile with both the makefiles and with Cargo.
This commits adds build scripts to the necessary Rust crates for all the native
dependencies. This is currently a duplication of the support found in mk/rt.mk
and is my best effort at representing the logic twice, but there may be some
unfortunate-and-inevitable divergence.
As a summary:
* alloc_jemalloc - build script to compile jemallocal
* flate - build script to compile miniz.c
* rustc_llvm - build script to run llvm-config and learn about how to link it.
Note that this crucially (and will not ever) compile LLVM as that would take
far too long.
* rustdoc - build script to compile hoedown
* std - script to determine lots of libraries/linkages as well as compile
libbacktrace
