Cross-compiler for Alpha architecture

[venetis at mail dot capsl dot udel dot edu]

Dear all,

I am trying to build a cross-compiler for an alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu
system, using crosstool-ng. The host is a i686-unknown-linux-gnu.

After applying several patches (look in [1]), I managed to build a
tool-chain using binutils 2.18/gcc 4.2.3/linux kernel 2.6.24.7 and glibc
2.3.6 (with linuxthreads). However, I would like to use newer versions of
gcc (4.3.x) and glibc(>=2.6). Trying to build these, however, yields some
errors (initially in glibc and now in gcc).

I managed to get as far as described here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00061.html [1]
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00062.html

The errors in [1] are coming from glibc. Ryan Arnold replied with this
message:

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00063.html

which solved the first problem described in [1]. However, I now get an
error further down in the build procedure, while trying to build gcc 4.3.1
for the target architecture:

I couldn't find any references to this problem in the mailing list
archives and the Web. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!
