+<h4 class="subsection">6.3.4 Makefile Targets</h4>
+<a name="index-makefile-targets"></a>
+<a name="index-targets_002c-makefile"></a>
+
+<p>These targets are available from the &lsquo;<samp>gcc</samp>&rsquo; directory:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>all</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This is the default target. Depending on what your build/host/target
+configuration is, it coordinates all the things that need to be built.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>doc</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Produce info-formatted documentation and man pages. Essentially it
+calls &lsquo;<samp>make man</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>make info</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>dvi</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Produce DVI-formatted documentation.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>pdf</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Produce PDF-formatted documentation.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>html</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Produce HTML-formatted documentation.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>man</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Generate man pages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>info</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Generate info-formatted pages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>mostlyclean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Delete the files made while building the compiler.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>clean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>That, and all the other files built by &lsquo;<samp>make all</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>distclean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>That, and all the files created by <code>configure</code>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>maintainer-clean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Distclean plus any file that can be generated from other files. Note
+that additional tools may be required beyond what is normally needed to
+build GCC.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>srcextra</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Generates files in the source directory that are not version-controlled but
+should go into a release tarball.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>srcinfo</code></dt>
+<dt><code>srcman</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Copies the info-formatted and manpage documentation into the source
+directory usually for the purpose of generating a release tarball.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>install</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Installs GCC.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>uninstall</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Deletes installed files, though this is not supported.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>check</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Run the testsuite. This creates a <samp>testsuite</samp> subdirectory that
+has various <samp>.sum</samp> and <samp>.log</samp> files containing the results of
+the testing. You can run subsets with, for example, &lsquo;<samp>make check-gcc</samp>&rsquo;.
+You can specify specific tests by setting <code>RUNTESTFLAGS</code> to be the name
+of the <samp>.exp</samp> file, optionally followed by (for some tests) an equals
+and a file wildcard, like:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS=&quot;execute.exp=19980413-*&quot;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Note that running the testsuite may require additional tools be
+installed, such as Tcl or DejaGnu.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>The toplevel tree from which you start GCC compilation is not
+the GCC directory, but rather a complex Makefile that coordinates
+the various steps of the build, including bootstrapping the compiler
+and using the new compiler to build target libraries.
+</p>
+<p>When GCC is configured for a native configuration, the default action
+for <code>make</code> is to do a full three-stage bootstrap. This means
+that GCC is built three times&mdash;once with the native compiler, once with
+the native-built compiler it just built, and once with the compiler it
+built the second time. In theory, the last two should produce the same
+results, which &lsquo;<samp>make compare</samp>&rsquo; can check. Each stage is configured
+separately and compiled into a separate directory, to minimize problems
+due to ABI incompatibilities between the native compiler and GCC.
+</p>
+<p>If you do a change, rebuilding will also start from the first stage
+and &ldquo;bubble&rdquo; up the change through the three stages. Each stage
+is taken from its build directory (if it had been built previously),
+rebuilt, and copied to its subdirectory. This will allow you to, for
+example, continue a bootstrap after fixing a bug which causes the
+stage2 build to crash. It does not provide as good coverage of the
+compiler as bootstrapping from scratch, but it ensures that the new
+code is syntactically correct (e.g., that you did not use GCC extensions
+by mistake), and avoids spurious bootstrap comparison
+failures<a name="DOCF1" href="#FOOT1"><sup>1</sup></a>.
+</p>
+<p>Other targets available from the top level include:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>bootstrap-lean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Like <code>bootstrap</code>, except that the various stages are removed once
+they&rsquo;re no longer needed. This saves disk space.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>bootstrap2</code></dt>
+<dt><code>bootstrap2-lean</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Performs only the first two stages of bootstrap. Unlike a three-stage
+bootstrap, this does not perform a comparison to test that the compiler
+is running properly. Note that the disk space required by a &ldquo;lean&rdquo;
+bootstrap is approximately independent of the number of stages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>stage<var>N</var>-bubble (<var>N</var> = 1&hellip;4, profile, feedback)</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Rebuild all the stages up to <var>N</var>, with the appropriate flags,
+&ldquo;bubbling&rdquo; the changes as described above.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>all-stage<var>N</var> (<var>N</var> = 1&hellip;4, profile, feedback)</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Assuming that stage <var>N</var> has already been built, rebuild it with the
+appropriate flags. This is rarely needed.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>cleanstrap</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Remove everything (&lsquo;<samp>make clean</samp>&rsquo;) and rebuilds (&lsquo;<samp>make bootstrap</samp>&rsquo;).
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>compare</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compares the results of stages 2 and 3. This ensures that the compiler
+is running properly, since it should produce the same object files
+regardless of how it itself was compiled.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>distclean-stage<var>N</var> (<var>N</var> = 1&hellip;4, profile, feedback)</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Wipe stage <var>N</var> and all the following ones.
+</p>
+<p>For example,
+&lsquo;<samp>make distclean-stage3</samp>&rsquo; wipes stage 3 and all the following ones,
+so that another <code>make</code> then rebuilds them from scratch.
+This can be useful if you&rsquo;re doing changes where
+&ldquo;bubbling&rdquo; the changes as described above is not sufficient,
+but a full <code>make restrap</code> isn&rsquo;t necessary either.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>profiledbootstrap</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Builds a compiler with profiling feedback information. In this case,
+the second and third stages are named &lsquo;<samp>profile</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>feedback</samp>&rsquo;,
+respectively. For more information, see the installation instructions.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>restrap</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Restart a bootstrap, so that everything that was not built with
+the system compiler is rebuilt.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>stage<var>N</var>-start (<var>N</var> = 1&hellip;4, profile, feedback)</code></dt>
+<dd><p>For each package that is bootstrapped, rename directories so that,
+for example, <samp>gcc</samp> points to the stage<var>N</var> GCC, compiled
+with the stage<var>N-1</var> GCC<a name="DOCF2" href="#FOOT2"><sup>2</sup></a>.
+</p>
+<p>You will invoke this target if you need to test or debug the
+stage<var>N</var> GCC. If you only need to execute GCC (but you need
+not run &lsquo;<samp>make</samp>&rsquo; either to rebuild it or to run test suites),
+you should be able to work directly in the <samp>stage<var>N</var>-gcc</samp>
+directory. This makes it easier to debug multiple stages in
+parallel.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>stage</code></dt>
+<dd><p>For each package that is bootstrapped, relocate its build directory
+to indicate its stage. For example, if the <samp>gcc</samp> directory
+points to the stage2 GCC, after invoking this target it will be
+renamed to <samp>stage2-gcc</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>If you wish to use non-default GCC flags when compiling the stage2 and
+stage3 compilers, set <code>BOOT_CFLAGS</code> on the command line when doing
+&lsquo;<samp>make</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Usually, the first stage only builds the languages that the compiler
+is written in: typically, C and maybe Ada. If you are debugging a
+miscompilation of a different stage2 front-end (for example, of the
+Fortran front-end), you may want to have front-ends for other languages
+in the first stage as well. To do so, set <code>STAGE1_LANGUAGES</code>
+on the command line when doing &lsquo;<samp>make</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>For example, in the aforementioned scenario of debugging a Fortran
+front-end miscompilation caused by the stage1 compiler, you may need a
+command like
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">make stage2-bubble STAGE1_LANGUAGES=c,fortran
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Alternatively, you can use per-language targets to build and test
+languages that are not enabled by default in stage1. For example,
+<code>make f951</code> will build a Fortran compiler even in the stage1
+build directory.
