Re: Customised Cross Compiler

["William A. Gatliff" <bgat at billgatliff dot com>]

Julia:


Um, what "processor" are you using?  What are your build, host and
target systems?  Gcc and family build clean for me on solaris hosts,
and others here have built cross compilers hosted on Linux and
targeting Solaris.  Check the mailing list archives.

If what you are doing is sane, and you have working packages, I'm
pretty sure nobody is going to demand money from you to roll them into
the next gcc release.  :^)

You may try backing down to binutils-2.11.2 or even 2.10.x.  The
really latest stuff works best with gcc-3.x, and sometimes gives fits
with gcc-2.95.x.  Or so I've heard--- I actually get pretty decent
results from them, but I don't often target or host using solaris.


HTH,


b.g.
