Cross-compiling glibc 2.2.x: gnu/lib-names.h is empty

[Håvard Wigtil <havardw at stud dot ntnu dot no>]

Hi!

I'm trying to set up sparc-solaris -> arm-linux cross toolchain. I've
successfully compiled cross-binutils and cross-ggc, bur I can't compile
glibc.

I've run configure with "../../src/glibc-2.2.1/configure arm-linux
--prefix=/home/hades/b/ifi-hf/havardw/arm/arm-linux --enable-add-ons
--with-headers=/home/hades/b/ifi-hf/havardw/arm/src/linux/include"
for compilation in a separate build directory, and used a similar
configure line for  build of 2.2.2 in the source directory.

I get the error included below ("`LIBNSS_FILES_SO' undeclared here") when
I compile nss/nsswitch.c, and from what I understand this macro is
supposed to be defined in gnu/lib-names.h, but this file is empty (apart
from the standard includes to only include the file once).

Does anyone know why this file isn't generated, or how I can force it to
be made?
