get it to cross compile gcc (to run on ppc). Does anyone=20 know of a good HowTo to do this?
Karim Yaghmour's "Building Embedded Linux Systems" =20
I'm currently downloading the source distro of ELDK, so if=20 it's already in there I'll find it, but if there is one=20 elsewhere online please let me know.
Very good, full of features.

My favorite cross tool chain site: Building and Testing gcc/glibc cross toolchains http://kegel.com/crosstool/ Look into Canadian crosses. At the very least you should find the discussion helpful.

the Linux From Scratch site also has some useful discussion on building toolchains: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ rday

I'd use the ELDK if I were you as an x86 hosted cross compiler, if only because it makes sense in terms of compiling bootloader & kernel with the same toolchain. Also, if memory serves the ELDK comes with a powerpc gcc in the supplied ppc root file system. Alternatively : you can use the uClibc toolchain, to generate a similar setup. Here's a script I've thrown together since I sometimes need to generate gcc toolchains easily for various targets. I've tested it with arm and powerpc and because, it might be useful to switch between c libraries. ymmv. http://netsoc.dit.ie/~deckard/software/build_compiler.sh. This script is based on some excellent documents that Red Hat produced. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2005-08/msg00114/l-cross-ltr.pdf -- "Caveat Emptor" -- James T. Kirk, in no such episode
