Re: Multilib error with x86_64

[Bandaru Viswanath <tripuraari at gmail dot com>]

Friends,

I have decided to hand-build the tool chain. I believe i am successful
after some retrials. Of course this wouldn't have been possible
without the beautiful CT-NG tool. I would like to point out couple of
issues from the CT-NG side that I faced.

1. While building glibc for 32 bit hosts on 64 bit CPU, to resolve the
"TLS required" problem, we need to pass -march=i686  as part of
CFLAGS. Also the --host macro should be set to reflect the 32 bit
environment (like i686-unknown-linux-gnu).

2. Both in sysroot and in sysroot/usr/ directories, the lib32 and
lib64 are sym-linked to lib directory. This needs to be modified so
that lib32 is a symlink to lib/32. this has to be done in both places.

3. This may not be an issue with CT-NG, but I will spell out any way.
The --prefix being used for binutils and the gcc must be same, at
least in recent versions of the gcc / binutils.  The binutils uses
release-area prefix, but the pass-1 and pass-2 configure scripts
specify the sysroot area.

4. this is a package specific issue. cloog-ppl is no longer there for
newer GCC. For compiling gcc, the configure script needs to be passed
--enable-cloog-backend=isl as option.

Please let me know if these are real issues or my creations :).

I faced other issues, but i believe they are largely my creations
and/or the specific package bugs.

FWIW, my package combination is -

binutils - 2.23
cloog - 0.16.3
gcc - 4.6.3
glibc- 2.16.0
gmp - 5.0.5
linux - 2.6.32.12
mpc -1.0.1
mpfr - 3.1.1
ppl - 0.12.1

Thanks
Vissu
