I spent a while debugging a strage linker error about an outdated `glibc` version, only to discover that it was caused by a stale `obj` directory. It wasn't obviously to be that using the same obj dir with multiple Docker images (for the same target triple) could be a problem.
This commit adds a note to the README, which should hopefully be helpful to anyone else who runs into this issue.
Now that we've fully moved to Azure Pipelines and bors has been updated
to only gate on Azure this commit removes the remaining Travis/AppVeyor
support contained in this repository. Most of the deletions here are
related to producing better output on Travis by folding certain
sections. This isn't supported by Azure so there's no need to keep it
around, and if Azure ever adds support we can always add it back!
With `-mcpu=power4`, code might use instructions like `fcfid`, excluding
older CPUs like the PowerPC G4, which apparently some users would like
to use. The generic `-mcpu=powerpc` should stick to pure 32-bit PowerPC
instructions.
Fixesrust-lang/cargo#3852.
Using Ubuntu's cross-toolchains for powerpc* and s390x meant they were
depending on glibc symbols from Ubuntu 16.04. And if that host is ever
updated to a new release, the toolchains would raise the bar too.
This switches powerpc, powerpc64, and s390x to use crosstool-ng
toolchains, configured approximately like RHEL6 with kernel 2.6.32 and
glibc 2.12. This ABI level should also be compatible with Debian 7
(wheezy) and Ubuntu 12.04 (precise).
For powerpc64le, the challenge was that only glibc-2.19 officially added
support, but RHEL7 backported those changes to glibc-2.17. The backport
patches are complex and numerous, so instead of trying to push those
into crosstool-ng, this just uses glibc binaries directly from CentOS 7
and builds the toolchain manually.
This is ported from rust-lang/rust-buildbot#149.

This commit updates the compilers for many of the artifacts that we're producing
on Travis. These compilers are all compiled by crosstool-ng as they're currently
done for the images in which we're building all our cross compiled compilers.
The purpose of this commit is that when we ship binaries the artifacts won't
require a newer glibc, but rather be as compatible as possible with Linux
distributions by working with a very old version of glibc.
This commit always allocates a new matrix entry for the i686/x86_64 builder.
This builder is dedicated to just producing artifacts and eventually we'll
expand it to building other tools like Cargo and the RLS. The other builders
testing i686 and x86_64 won't use these historical toolchains.
