Ioannis, All,

Thank you for pinging me on this! I'm sorry, I did not find time to do it earlier... :-(
Anyway, it is not convenient to test those changes. Next time, could you please try to send proper Mercurial changesets (see the third entry in "docs/C - Misc. tutorials.txt" : "Using Mercurial to hack crosstool-NG").
Your changes are missing updates to the glibc config file to add the new version. With 'hg email', it would have been sent automatically. I'll add it manually here.
Specifically, the target architecture is alphaev67-unknown-linux-gnu. The rest of the toolchain consists of: gcc 4.3.5 binutils 2.21 linux 2.6.38.3 gmp 5.0.1 mpfr 3.0.0
Could please provide the .config you used so we can add it as a sample?
I had to add a few patches for Alpha (the four patches sent on 28/02/2011 here http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2011-02/) and modify a few others. The only really problematic patch was 370-fnmatch.patch which I could not modify to make it work, so I deleted it from the patchset.
Did you check if it was applied (as is, or differently) upstream?
If you try any of these patchsets, don't forget during configuration of crosstool-ng to go to the menu "C library" -> "gcc extra flags" and add the flag "-Wl,--no-relax".
What's the purpose of that? Can't it be automated in some ways? I would like to rely as much as possible on the code (or at least on config knobs) for this kind of stuff. For example: if [ "${arch}" = "alpha" -a "${other_condition}" = "y" ]; then gcc_flags += "-Wl,--no-relax" fi
I also had to select the option "Force unwind support". The help says that the need for this option is architecture dependant.
Virtually, all ELF targets supported by crosstool-NG as unwinding, so *maybe* this should default to 'y'?...
Any chance to see these patchsets in the main branch of crosstool-ng?
I'm working on it. :-)
PS1: Please refer to my previous message (http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-03/msg00055.html) for the details of what I changed/added in the 2.12.1 patchset)
PS2: I have a few issues compiling a newer gcc (>= 4.4.x). The PPL library gives me some problems (either that it cannot find version 4.3.1 of GMP or if I select that specific version compilation ends because make cannot find a rule to build a Java file). If anyone has any clue what might happening here please let me know.
Yes, there are many broken combinations. Currently, I think that choosing the latest versions of all companion libraries should be working. You will have to enable 'EXPERIMENTAL' in the 'Misc' menu.
I think we could probably do a cleanup pass to remove old versions, and keep only one/two version/s that we know is/are working...
