Re: glibc, Perl for ppc440GX - compile problems

I'm trying to compile glibc-2.4 on my system but I have the error:

In your subject you mention Perl - what has glibc to do with it?

extended format support

Are you running the native  compiler  on  the  board,  or  the  cross
compiler? Did you apply all eventually needed patches?

compiler : GCC 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.0 4.0.0-1), the CPU is PPC440GX, 
Ocotea based board with own design.

Which architecture did you select? ppc_4xx- ??

I'm thinking that, the 440GX is not gut supported from GCC 4.0.0 compiler.
Do anobody already compile glibc and Perl for this platform, or can I 
find from somewhere .RPM packages?

We build Perl without any problems.
