RE: Cross-compile package combinations

I do have a another question, though.  Let's say that I want to use my own
kernel instead of having crosstool download it.  What would be the proper
set of steps to take to specify a local kernel?  My current kernel is
2.4.20 and I know that the combination of gcc and glibc that I want to use
with crosstool specifies 2.4.21.  I'll probably work on bumping my kernel
up.

The way I did this was to use crosstool to just create the cross-compiler
for me. From there I took it upon myself to install it in the appropriate
directory and then compile the kernel I wanted. That proved to be easy
enough for me.

I also had success using crosstool.  Thanks to all those who gave me tips
both on the list and via email.

I used crosstool and was able to effortlessly install gcc 3.3.2,
glibc 2.3.2 for powerpc. Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

I have observed the same errors when trying to build the
bootstrap gcc
3.2.3. I understand that this is because gcc 3.2.3 build (in
case of powerpc) looks for some glibc files. So I first built
gcc 2.95.3, then glibc 2.2.1 and then built bootstrap gcc
3.2.2(you could try with
3.2.3) and it compiled fine.

One of the reasons I did crosstool was to avoid that kind of
hackery.  With crosstool, you don't need to build gcc 2.95.3 just
to build gcc 3.2.3.  Crosstool does clean builds from pristine,
minimally patched source.
