Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] OvmfPkg/build.sh: select the GCC49 toolchain settings for gcc-7.*
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 19:09:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170815170914.4987-2-lersek@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170815170914.4987-1-lersek@redhat.com>

When UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib is built for X64 with gcc-7, using the DEBUG
build target and the GCC5 toolchain settings, a C-language assignment is
miscompiled such that the initial AP startup hangs in CpuMpPei (X64) or
CpuDxe (Ia32X64). See <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671>
for a detailed analysis of the symptoms, and for mailing list links.

This issue has been reported several times (one example is
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657>). Until we (or the
upstream gcc developers) figure out how to dissuade gcc-7 from the
miscompilation, pick the GCC49 toolchain in "build.sh" for gcc-7.*.
