Successful crosstool-0.38 Mac OS X to PPC GNU/Linux

[Gwynne <squasar at eternalviper dot net>]

Hi, I'm new to crosstool, and I thought I'd post my solution for  
getting Mac OS X building a cross-compiler (gcc 3.4.4 + glibc 2.3.5)  
for my PPC Gentoo Linux install since no single solution I found on  
this mailing list or any web site had the complete solution for my  
issues.

1. Build and install GNU sed and GNU awk into /usr/local/bin or any  
location of your choice that isn't /usr/bin (don't overwrite the OS X  
versions since things in the OS depend on them having OS X semantics).

2. Replace patches/glibc-2.3.5/glibc-configure-apple-as.patch with  
the glibc-configure-apple-as-ld.patch at the bottom of this e-mail  
(it's after my signature).

3. Edit powerpc7450.dat (or create a new .dat) to use a TARGET of  
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, TARGET_CFLAGS of "-O2", and  
GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG of "--enable-altivec" if you want AltiVec.

4. Edit demo-ppc7450.sh or create a new .sh to use your .dat and  
GCC_LANGUAGES of "c,c++" (I didn't try to build fortran or objc since  
this was for distcc building and only C and C++ work with distcc).

5. Make sure the place where you installed GNU sed and gawk is in  
your PATH before /usr/bin, and run your .sh.

Thanks to everyone who does crosstool for finally giving me something  
that let me build for my Linux install!
