crossgcc for RH7.3 on RH9 ??? (sad but true!)


Hi;

as near as i can tell, compat-7.3 gcc (gcc296) insists on linking
against RH9's libc.

'as near as i can tell' means:

passing -Wl,--trace to gcc296 and seeing that it uses:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/*.[oaso] for some stuff,
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/../../../*.so for other stuff
and /lib/libpthread.so.0 /lib/libc.so.6

this means that RH9 compiled libc and libpthread apps dependent apps
are broken on RH73.

it's possible that i am mistaken, and i would be oh-so-happy to be
corrected!

but it really seems to me that i have to build cross-gcc for
gcc-3.3/glibc-2.2.5 if i dont want to be stuck running redhat-7 for the
rest of this project.

one immediate concern is that the arch that i need to build for is
i486, not i686, because i have to run on STPC and GEODE, will i need to
alter the cross-build to take account of this, or will i still have
access to the -march flag in my nifty new compiler?

tnx!

johnu
