Gerald Pfeifer a905ab5afa Welcome GCC 11 in form of its first development snapshot (directly after
GCC 10 has branched for its release).

For the next year or so this is going to see significant changes and
fluctuations in quality as new functionality and optimizations are
added, so use with care (and definitely not for production).  We'll
be following weekly snapshots.

GCC has two runtime libraries: The static library libgcc.a (-lgcc) and
the shared library libgcc_s.so (-lgcc_s). Both implement many of the
same functions but they also each have their unique functions. When
gcc links programs and libraries there are three possibilities:
1. gcc -static-libgcc or gcc -static: -lgcc
=> Just use libgcc.a.
2. gcc -shared-libgcc: -lgcc_s -lgcc
=> Link with libgcc_s first, so libgcc.a is only used for its unique
functions.
3. gcc: -lgcc -Wl,--as-needed -lgcc_s -Wl,--no-as-needed
=> Link with libgcc.a first so libgcc_s is only used for its unique
functions (_Unwind_* functions).
Approach 3 is the default for gcc and it's also what clang and clang++ use;
approach 2 is the default for gfortran, g++ and probably other front ends.
This patch makes 3 the default for gfortran. It significantly reduces
the use of libgcc_s. The _Unwind_* functions are also available in the
old base system libgcc_s which means this reduces the need for
-rpath /usr/local/lib/gccN in ports that depend on libraries built with
gfortran. Consider a dependency tree like this:
prog -> libA -> libgcc_s (old base system libgcc_s is fine)
-> libB -> libgcc_s (libB built with gfortran, needs new libgcc_s)
Here prog needs to be linked with -rpath /usr/local/lib/gccN even if it's
a normal C program compiled with clang. Without -rpath it will fail to
start because it loads old libgcc_s first as a dependency of libA and then
it fails to load libB. With this patch libB works with old base system
libgcc_s or may not need libgcc_s at all, so prog does not need to be
linked with -rpath.
Upstream is unlikely accept a patch like this because libgfortran calls
some _Unwind_* functions and so always needs libgcc_s. Also because
every Fortran program and library links to libgfortran it makes sense
that option 2 above is the default. On FreeBSD where clang and GCC
compiled code can be mixed and where multiple libgcc_s may be installed,
option 3 is just a lot easier to deal with.
The bug that sparked this is PR 208120 (but note there's a lot of
misleading information in that bug. CMake is not actually doing
anything wrong.)
