Just being curious... If this is true, why you try to build glibc again for the same target? Is your aim "to build a toolchain for arm-linux hosted on osX 10.2", ie. the results are not important but that the build succeeds is... Or "to get a toolchain for arm-linux hosted on osX 10.2", ie. building again the already got parts is not necessary... > many of the same patches are required, but it seems there > are a few osX specific problems. > so im wondering if anyone has managed this (or has any hints?), > or am i stumbling down a blind alley? I just wanted to be sure that you understand that you really don't need to rebuild a already built glibc (on Linux/PPC as you told), but can simply copy it to the 'secondary' host. In this respect you are not in a blind alley... If you only will get the OS X hosted binutils and GCC for 'arm-linux', then you will get the toolchain... But if the build on OS X succeeding is the main goal, then maybe some OS X specific maillist would be better... just as the Cygwin-maillist could be for those who have problems with the Windoze as the build platform. For me a more important issue would be how on earth one gets a Linux-x-MacOS-X cross-toolchain with the 'Mach-O' target format binutils... Then one wouldn't need an Apple-system for building some OS X hosted cross-tools, on Linux, Solaris2 (or even on Windoze if enjoying any build-problems, a'la OS X ;-) Apple seems to provide on sources for the Darwin/OS X C-library, no binaries, and no instructions/patches for compiling the binutils sources on other hosts than OS X...
