This is a new attempt at the PR libgcj/40868 [1].

This time around a compiler variable is introduced in configure.ac and
Makefile.am is patched as well.

This has been tested with build/host=linux-gnu target=i686-w64-mingw32.
This has not been tested with a canadian-cross but "it should just work".

OK, thanks.

Would someone please apply this patch to trunk, if there are no more comments?

I'm testing it.

I tested it native, and it's fine.

Paging Tom Tromey:

All this patch does is substitute "${with_cross_host}-gcc" for "${with_cross_host}-gcj".
I don't understand why using the gcc driver rather than the gcj driver makes a difference.
Is this because the cross host at this point has gcc but not gcj?  If so, I guess
that's fine.

Why should a _LINK variable (which is used for linking) contain -c?
Why should -o be followed by a variable name that presumably contains
several objects?

This hunk looks very wrong.  If it causes the right thing to happen,
then in a very hacky way.

I still don't really understand why the dummy ecjx.cc is needed.
But since it is, the important thing here is to arrange to compile it
with the proper gcc -- the one that matches GCJX_FOR_ECJX.

I think the configure parts of this patch looks ok, but I don't see how
this patch arranges for ecjx.cc to be compiled by GCC_FOR_ECJX.

Also, what Ralf said.

I couldn't figure out making a custom ecjx_COMPILE command for ecjx.cc
only. Hence I've used a "hack" in _LINK.

In theory, yes. In reality, no. ecjx.cc is an empty file, needed to
create an "empty" object such that libtool can link-it with all the libs
it needs to be linked.

Yes, the hunk looks wrong, the real issue is deeper. How to tie in
ecj.jar into the automake/libtool build-system. The current way works
for native builds, but building regular cross fails since ecj.o becomes
"target" object type, instead of "build/host" object type.

I better test would be trying to build canadian-cross & reverse-cross
libjava. I'm not quite sure, but it should be broken now and this patch
may or may not fix those too.

With this patch I have managed to build build/host=i686-linux-gnu
target=i686-w64-mingw32 libjava & gcj.

I would be valuable to find who thought up of ecjx.cc and put more
comments into ecjx.cc 

I have even less clue than reviewers in this thread =)

Me neither. All I know ecjx.cc works in native builds, and doesn't in
regular cross-builds. Trying to fix regular cross-builds, not the
"why-ecjx.cc-exists?".

As far as I can see ecjx.o should be the same type as the other objects
linked to produce a host binary. But I couldn't figure out how to get
the regular gcc, since it doesn't seem to be passed to the libjava
configure at all.

The config.log shows xgcc for CC and CXX.

First compiled "wrong" way, then _LINK target removes bogus object file
&& compile using GCC_FOR_ECJX && do the actual link.

If this issue can wait for a few more days, I can look into it
(I forget the GCC build system after a few weeks of not hacking on it).

Yes, this can wait =)

  That's not forgetting, that's PTSD!
