Hello!

I am working on a ml403 with virtex 4 (ppc405).
I have build me a crosscompiler and  a glibc with crosstool.
This worked very good for me...(i can compile 2.4 and 2.6 kernel...)

Now i would like to build a native compiler for the ppc405...(I need a
native compiler for a few things that are hard to crosscompile.)

Is it possible to compile the binutils and gcc with my crosscompiler to get
a native compiler??

Yes it is. You can cross compile gcc just like any other package.
It's a little complex, but it's been done many times.

You might want to take a look at the buildroot tool to see an example.

Cheers,
