Re: cross compiling 8xx glibc on x86

I've spend two days scouring the postings here and read much as I can find

glibc with no fpu options. I've read all kinds of things, compiled for
hours, but nothing.  I've been somewhat unsuccessful,  I'm close to giving
up but that's why I'm writing.

It took me two weeks until I gave up. This glibc is the trickiest part. I
wish Wolfgang would write one - oh, a subset is already in PPCBoot. :)

I can compile glibc-2.2.3 (no mention of no fpu on configure) but bash segment
faults (actually init respawns to fast). I can get bash running if I use
the montavista compiled glibc* from their rpm. So I know that my
kernel/filesystem works etc. But still I want to compile glibc for 8xx myself.

A statically linked bash should work, even with the cacheline bug.

I get this error (I'm not the first one with this error,

Yes it looks very much like the same. I asked again some time later. Here
is the reply that probably helps you:
