mips64-linux-gnu-gcc (mips64-linux-gnu-glibc) fails at installing

Background: I know mips assembly and would like to be able to assemble my C code in it, and then debut mips assembly. I'm not a fan of aarch64 or x86. I will learn them some other day.

I have first tried to just yay -S install mips gcc. Didn't work

so here's all the one I git cloned and then makepkg -si:

~/Download> ls
mips64-linux-gnu-binutils  mips64-linux-gnu-gcc  mips64-linux-gnu-gcc-bootstrap  mips64-linux-gnu-glibc  mips64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers

So:
mips64-linux-gnu-gcc-bootstrap , mips64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers, mips64-linux-gnu-binutils are correctly installed.
Now I need to install gnu-glibc before i can install gnu-gcc:

Re: mips64-linux-gnu-gcc (mips64-linux-gnu-glibc) fails at installing

The default CFLAGS in makepkg.conf don't work with the compiler you're using.

FTR, your issue is with building a package, not with installing a package. Two totally separate functions.

And please, use code tags around output like this.

Re: mips64-linux-gnu-gcc (mips64-linux-gnu-glibc) fails at installing

Exact same issue for me.
What about the CFLAGS to modify?

Re: mips64-linux-gnu-gcc (mips64-linux-gnu-glibc) fails at installing

How to add code flag, tree ticks ?

```
printf("Hello world!\n");
```

<code>
printf("Hello world!\n");
<code>
What configure flag should I use?

`print("hello")`

Re: mips64-linux-gnu-gcc (mips64-linux-gnu-glibc) fails at installing

Jeez, the gcc this package provides is old. You should patch it to newer gcc or adjust CFLAGS as @Scimmia said (these CFLAGS "leak" down to old gcc you built).

Alternatively, you can go with "zig cc", as it is just LLVM, but you don't have to worry about crt0 and libc.

$ zig cc -target mips64-linux-gnuabi64 test.c 
$ file a.out 
a.out: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS64 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld.so.1, for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, with debug_info, not stripped

(Of course, it works with assembler, and you can emit listings with -S.)

EDIT:

Likewise, I'd like to install qemu-mips. yay -S qemu-arch-extra failed

$ pacman -Ss qemu mips
extra/qemu-system-mips 9.0.2-1
    QEMU system emulator for MIPS
