Re: missing crt1.o

[Arno Schuring <aelschuring at xs4all dot nl>]

Thanks for your quick reply!

Hmm... I don't see a nice solution to my problem yet... Is there a way to 
create these startup binaries without actually installing a prebuilt C 
library beforehand? I'm guessing no...

So if I can't build the library without a built library, where should I start 
looking? The FSF doesn't provide binaries, fafaik, so does it matter from 
which distro I pick them? and does the version matter?
- don't answer, unless it's not "no, no" ;)

Sigh... how much of the library do I need actually? Is it just the files 
crt?.o that are needed for glibc itself? Would it be possible to create a 
stripped-down binary version "just for building glibc"? Or would that include 
just about the whole library?

I have seen several comments on this list like "don't try it the hard way", or 
"no need to reinvent the wheel"; I'm well aware of that. If I would be 
running a production environment, and I would be facing deadlines, I would be 
using binaries. However, having an actual up and working system is not my 
goal. It's nice to work toward something fruitful, but I'm much more 
interested in how to get there (in this case: using as little prebuilt items 
as possible).


btw, I'm not running anything on my sparc right now... I actually fancied the 
sparc for my big crossgcc-lfs-do-it-myself project. I believe it has NetBSD 
installed right now, haven't given it much attention yet.

Thanks again,
Arno
