Peter:
After I built my arm-linux toolchain, I built ncurses:
$ BUILD_CC=gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ CC=arm-linux-gcc ../ncurses-5.2/configure --host=arm-linux --build=i386-linux --prefix=/home/bgat/H-arm-cerfpod-linux-gnu
$ make all install
It dies when it runs "tic" during installation, for the obvious
reason: tic is a target executable, not a build one. No problem, you
get libtermcap anyway. :^)
I also built bfd, using a similar command, so that gdb would find a bfd.h.
Then I successfully configured gdb (cvs), like this:
$ ../gdb/configure --host=arm-linux --build=i386-linux --prefix=/home/bgat/H-arm-cerfpod-linux-gnu
So far, so far... :^)
b.g.
