I am maintaining the Linux from Scratch Hint "LFS from OSX" (http://mirror.vtx.ch/lfs/hints/downloads/files/lfs-from-osx.txt). I tried cross-compiling glibc-2.3.2 using Mac OS X as build for a GNU/Linux/PPC host. I use crosstool-0.28-rc28 available from http://kegel.com/crosstool
If I compile glibc-2.3.2 using gcc-3.3.3, everything is OK.
If I compile glibc-2.3.2 using gcc-3.4.0 or gcc-3.4.1, then the console is broken: It doesn't display the bash prompt, and it echoes input but doesn't process it (like after typing `cat > /dev/null`).
Some notes:
* vmlinux.elf-pmac version 2.6.7 is always at the root of the Mac OS X root partition
* /tools is a normal directory on the Mac OS X root partition
* I patched all packages to cross-compile cleanly. These patches should have no effect on the bug, since it runs perfectly if compiled with gcc-3.3.3
Can you list the patches you applied to glibc? e.g. did you apply http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc26/patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-allow-gcc-3.4-nounit.patch http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc26/patches/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2-allow-3.4.patch
Here's in detail what I did after compiling crosstool with the different gcc versions:
* Install the headers from linux-2.4.26: mkdir -p /tools/include/asm cp include/asm/* /tools/include/asm cp -R include/asm-generic /tools/include cp -R include/linux /tools/include touch /tools/include/linux/autoconf.h
* Install glibc:
BUILD_CC=gcc CC=powerpc-750-linux-gnu-gcc AR=powerpc-750-linux-gnu-ar RANLIB=powerpc-750-linux-gnu-ranlib ../glibc-2.3.2/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --with-headers=/tools/include --without-gd --build=powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0 --host=powerpc-750-linux-gnu
make
make install
* Install bash:
./configure --prefix=/tools --build=powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0 --host=powerpc-750-linux-gnu
Can you see if it's really building bash with gcc-3.4.x that's the problem? i.e. build glibc with gcc-3.4.x but bash with gcc-3.3.3, or vice versa, and see which combinations crash. - Dan
