RE: build cross gcc for ppc with glibc


Hi,

thanks for the link. I also found this link:
http://penguinppc.org/embedded/cross-compiling/
which has very similar instructions.

I am using --prefix=/opt/Altivec --target=powerpc-linux --host=i686-linux
to compile everything. And I of course put the /opt/Altivec/bin and
/opt/Altivec/powerpc-linux/bin dirs into the path.

Binutils compiles without any appearent problem, though there are some
warnings which make me wonder wether binutils are broken even though they
build and install seemingly well:

/bin/sh ../../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/ld/genscripts.sh
../../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/ld /opt/Altivec/lib i686-pc-linux-gnu

It still doesn't work, though, and I have some more questions:
1) Does the --with-newlib option to configure for gcc not imply that I
will later install newlib ? I have to use glibc

2) I have to use gcc-2.95.2 because I need to apply the Altivec patches
for the G4 CPU. However --without-headers seems to be without any
function. Only with --with-newlib does the make all-gcc not fail on
stdlib.h. Is --without-headers a specific gcc-2.95.3 feature ? Is 2.95.3
somehow better that 2.95.2 with regard to cross-compiling ?

3) In the end I managed to build the bootsrap gcc, but glibc won't
compile. First it complains about some errors in vfprintf.c:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/work/Altivec/glibc-2.2/stdio-common'

I commented out the offending lines and then the compilation broke like this:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/work/Altivec/glibc-2.2/iconv'
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o

make[1]: *** [iconv/others] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/work/Altivec/glibc-2.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Now this seems to be related to the fact that there is no libc installed
YET (maybe gcc assumes I would install newlib ??).

So I am back to the chicken-egg problem !

This bootstrap gcc doesn't even compile an empty program like
"int main() {};". It also fails on

/opt/Altivec/powerpc-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o:

Please help, I am quite desparate about this now because I need to create
the toolchain ...

Thank you very much,
Schlomo
