1288313 - Ensure the host and target compilers build for the right CPU, kernel and endianness

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: Bug 1288313 - Explicitly reject unknown CPU types.

Since bug 1264482, unknown CPU types end up triggering a ValueError
exception because of the CPU EnumString. Even if somehow the CPU is
valid, the endianness is not and would trigger a ValueError exception
as well.

So, instead of letting the exceptions happen, use a nicer failure mode
with an explicit die().

And for GCC and clang, try to see if adding -m32, -m64 or --target
works if they don't.

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

kernel_preprocessor_checks has:

    'WINNT': '_WIN32 || __CYGWIN__',

which causes the generated file to contain:

    #elif _WIN32 || __CYGWIN__
    %KERNEL WINNT

unfortunately, "WINNT" is defined by the mingw gcc as 1:

vladimir@glacier[5205]$ gcc -x c -E -dM /dev/null | grep WINNT
#define __WINNT 1
#define __WINNT__ 1
#define WINNT 1

thus resulting in a KERNEL = 1, which then breaks.  I agree that this is kind of stupid for gcc:

vladimir@glacier[5206]$ gcc -x c -E -dM /dev/null | grep -v 'define _'
#define WIN32 1
#define WIN64 1
#define WINNT 1

clang on the other hand is less stupid, but still has a non-_ standard define:

vladimir@glacier[5207]$ clang -x c -E -dM /dev/null | grep -v 'define _'
#define WIN64 1

either way, we probably shouldn't use "WINNT" as the kernel name to avoid this.

Or -- adding "#undef WINNT" to the start of the preprocessed blob in toolchain.configure as in https://github.com/vvuk/mozjs/commit/6dfd03f81affb1e501d1cbdc2713f385bf272dd4 works.
