RE: x86(host) --> ppc(tgt) cross-tool-chain

I built the toolchain on x86 host for PPC, and I used

GCC-2.95.3
GLIBC-2.2.3
Binutils-2.11.92

I did not use Karim's book. I went with "Embedded Linux Interfacing ...."
book.

BTW, there's an ongoing thread about exactly this problem
on the embeddedTUX.org mailing list:
http://www.embeddedtux.org/pipermail/etux/2003-June/thread.html

Apparently you're not alone ...

Hello,

Using Karim's new book "Building Embedded Linux Systems", has anyone out

there successfully built an x86(host) --> ppc(tgt) tool chain using the
versions stipulated in the book (gcc 2.95.3, binutils: 2.10.1, glibc,
2.2.1).

If yes:

(a) What host system are you using?

(b) Did you diverge from the directions in the book?

If no:

(a) Can someone out there suggest a known valid combination?

I anticipate needing ssh, some web-server and snmp as application

requirements, so I figured it would be prudent to get the tool-chain working
with glibc as opposed to uClibc.

:)

I have to ask: Did this toolchain actually work for you on the target?
I mean, did you try using glibc-2.2.3 on the PPC target? From I've
seen, gcc 2.95.3 with glibc 2.2.3 will successfully generate a glibc,
but the resulting glibc will core dump on the target.
