I have a question regarding cross compiling gprof. There was a patch
which removed from gprof from native_only list.
-native_only="autoconf automake libtool fileutils find gawk gettext gzip
hello indent m4 rcs recode sed shellutils tar textutils uudecode wdiff
gprof target-groff guile perl time ash bash bzip2 prms gnuserv
target-gperf"
+native_only="autoconf automake libtool fileutils find gawk gettext gzip
hello indent m4 rcs recode sed shellutils tar textutils uudecode wdiff
target-groff guile perl time ash bash bzip2 prms gnuserv target-gperf"
I am not sure if above change alone will make gprof cross compile (and
link). gprof uses libbfd.a which is compiled as a host_libs hence there
would be a mismatch between gprof and libbfd.a. To circumvent this I
gave the following command (so both host and target are the target mips
platform)
[schadha@devjava1-fc4 binutils-2.15.91.0.2]$ ./configure
--target=mipsel-linux --host==mipsel-linux
[schadha@devjava1-fc4 binutils-2.15.91.0.2]$ make
However the compiled gprof was compiled for the host (i386) machine. Any
ideas of what other changes may be required to cross compile gprof for
the mips machine.
