Here's what's to be done for maintaining GCC.
Apart from the target-specific configuration machinery, there shouldn't be any
major differences within GCC between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for
example. Especially all the compiler magic is all the same.
# [[General information|/gcc]]
# [[Sources|source_repositories/gcc]]
## Boehm GC
GCC includes an own variant of [[/Boehm_GC]] that is based on an upstream
version, but with own patches, etc. This is used for Java. (There are patches
(apparently not committed) that GCC itself can use it, too:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_tuning>.)
Patches to GCC's fork should be contributed back to upstream [[/Boehm_GC]].
[[tschwinge]] reviewed (but only briefly for large parts) the differences on
2010-12-08, based on the [[GCC Git mirror's
8e79e9d43f32c8852f068da91d655297d92ac0f4 (2010-11-29)
sources|source_repositories/GCC]] and Boehm GC's CVS HEAD sources from
2010-12-02, converted to [[Git, correspondingly
1c2455988a8f59a5f83b986b9156f03be395b3b6|source_repositories/boehm_gc]].
On 2010-11-17,
[[tschwinge]] reviewed the Debian GCC Boehm GC changes, compared them to the
upstream code, and put it into the local *hurd/boehm-gc/config_backport*
branch, planning to submit it to gcc-patches after testing with the GCC
[[testsuite]].

<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html> has documentation for the
`configure` switches.
* Configure fragments that have `*linux*` cases might/should often contain
those for us (and GNU/k*BSD) as well.
* `configure.ac`
* `libgcc/configure.ac` [might
need](http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-10/msg00315.html) to be
aligned for us to the `*linux*` cases. As well as at the end of
`libgcc/config.host`. Check.

checking whether fixed-point is supported... no
* `libgomp/configure.tgt`
* Etc.
* [[`libmudflap`|libmudflap]].
* Might [`-fsplit-stack`](http://nickclifton.livejournal.com/6889.html) be
worthwhile w.r.t. our multithreaded libraries?

* GNAT is not yet ported / bootstrapped?
* The Google Go's libgo (introduced in
e440a3286bc89368b8d3a8fd6accd47191790bf2 (2010-12-03)) apparently needs
OS configuration / support.

# TODO
Debian's GCC package has Hurd-specific patches. Some have been forwarded
upstream (and have been ignored). [[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] is working on
getting them integrated.
