Re: missing crt1.o

["Arno Schuring" <aelschuring at xs4all dot nl>]

Hello again!

crosstool.sh did the job for me, I have a full toolchain. Thanks!

I have just one small comment:
- Missing autoconf.h. I extracted the kernel sources in a new directory, and
forgot to run a make config (or equivalent). The script stopped at
glibc-headers. How do you feel about adding a check for autoconf.h, that
stops the script immediately instead of halfway?

Thanks again,
Arno

Hmm... should've figured that one out by myself. For your stats:
crosstool.sh just finished building a chain binutils-2.14 gcc-3.3.3
glibc-2.3.2 on my box (i586->sparc), without any patches (except for
sscanf.c). Have not run any tests yet though. If I encounter weird test
results, I'll let you know.

That's nice. I will start myself with comparing my steps against your script
again, to find out what I did wrong. I'll ask again if I can't figure it out
on my own.

You are too kind! Thanks for the pointer.
