Re: Building Glibc

"René Pachernegg" [off-list ref] writes:

Glibc 2.1.1 (from one of the linuxppc mirror sites, source/base/..)
Compiler: egcs-2.91.57 (thats what configure says)

Sounds old.

configure --prefix=./tools/glibc --exec-prefix=./tools/glibc
--with-headers=**Dir of the cross-compiled Kernel and its headers**
--enable-add-ons --build=i686-*-linux --host=powerpc-*-linux-gnu
CC='powerpc-eabi-gcc -b powerpc-eabi' 
CFLAGS='-mcpu=603e -meabi'
Addons are just crypt und linuxthreads.

Still more has happend since yesterday. I removed everything, unpacked
the glibc again and started building. This time it went a bit further
and reportet:

I suppose I messed something up at the first try( I'am new to powerpc
cross compiling and not what you'd call an experienced linux user). I
hope you have got enough information for helping me a little bit. Thanks
in advance.

I'm not really sure a compiler built for use with newlib and eabi (is
eabi what PPC Linux uses or is it another abi?) (which your compiler
path and name suggests), contains the correct startup code for use with
glibc and programs/libraries linked against it. The signal 11 in any
case suggests that there is something very wrong with your build tools.

I suggest you install binutils 2.9.1.0.25 and gcc 2.95.2 as cross tools,
and configure them with ppc-linux as target.
