2022-11-07configure: require libzstd >= 1.4.0Christophe Lyon1-1/+1
gas uses ZSTD_compressStream2 which is only available with libzstd >= 1.4.0, leading to build errors when an older version is installed. This patch updates the check libzstd presence to check its version is >= 1.4.0. However, since gas seems to be the only component requiring such a recent version this may imply that we disable ZSTD support for all components although some would still benefit from an older version. I ran 'autoreconf -f' in all directories containing a configure.ac file, using vanilla autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.15.1. I noticed several errors from autoheader in readline, as well as warnings in intl, but they are unrelated to this patch. This should fix some of the buildbots. OK for trunk? Thanks, Christophe
2022-09-26binutils, gdb: support zstd compressed debug sectionsFangrui Song1-0/+23
PR29397 PR29563: Add new configure option --with-zstd which defaults to auto. If pkgconfig/libzstd.pc is found, define HAVE_ZSTD and support zstd compressed debug sections for most tools. * bfd: for addr2line, objdump --dwarf, gdb, etc * gas: support --compress-debug-sections=zstd * ld: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input and --compress-debug-sections=zstd * objcopy: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input for --decompress-debug-sections and --compress-debug-sections=zstd * gdb: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input. The bfd change references zstd symbols, so gdb has to link against -lzstd in this patch. If zstd is not supported, ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input triggers an error. We can avoid HAVE_ZSTD if binutils-gdb imports zstd/ like zlib/, but this is too heavyweight, so don't do it for now. ``` % ld/ld-new a.o ld/ld-new: a.o: section .debug_abbrev is compressed with zstd, but BFD is not built with zstd support ... % ld/ld-new a.o --compress-debug-sections=zstd ld/ld-new: --compress-debug-sections=zstd: ld is not built with zstd support % binutils/objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zstd a.o b.o binutils/objcopy: --compress-debug-sections=zstd: binutils is not built with zstd support % binutils/objcopy b.o --decompress-debug-sections binutils/objcopy: zstd.o: section .debug_abbrev is compressed with zstd, but BFD is not built with zstd support ... ```
