RE: Cross Compile GDB 6.6 PPC405

["Clint Thomas" <cthomas at Soneticom dot com>]

So, after trying to make install ncurses several times in several
different locations, I gave up and decided to just cross-compile good
ol' termcap instead. 

Here is the link I followed.
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2007-02/msg00016.html

This is just about right, except when I extracted termcap and tried to
pass those options to the configure script, it would not take them. So I
just ran the configure script, and manually edited the Makefile it
generated. I changed the CC=gcc to CC=powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcc, saved
and hit make. This built the two files I needed, termcap.h and
libtermcap.a

Took those two files, dropped termcap.h into
$(CROSS_COMPILER)/powerpc-405-linux-gnu/include and libtermcap.a into
$(CROSS_COMPILER)/powerpc-405-linux-gnu/lib and went on to build GDB.
This process worked for both my MPC8540 and PPC405 toolsets.
