Hi Oops! Sorry for the earlier empty mail. My mistake. >Why on earth would you need a native assembler for a cross-compiled >glibc? I'm getting the impression that you don't really know what >you're doing. :) Ok you got me wrong. Basically I'm following the steps outlined in Karim Yaghmour's book on building embedded Linux systems. He said that for building a cross-gcc version 3.2 (and above???), we need to build a bootstrap glibc prior to building the bootstrap gcc (as the --without-headers option is broken). It is for THIS that I need an upgraded native assembler, as my current assembler doesn't have CFI support. After that is built, I shall build the complete glibc (with the cross-compiler for the target) and gcc. Am I correct in my understanding? Or can I directly build the bootstrap gcc to use to compile glibc for my target, without building the bootstrap glibc? I'm using glibc-2.3.3 and gcc-3.4.3. I tried compiling the bootstrap gcc directly, but it gave some errors. So I tried building the bootstrap glibc first, thinking that this might be the problem. >Please consider using crosstool for your toolchain, this will save you >a LOT of headaches. Yes I would LOVE to use crosstool. Actually I have just started with my project. I'm new to Linux and it's only been a few days. So please pardon my ignorance! However, I was just reading through the list of targets supported by crosstool, and MPC8260 (our target) didn't figure in the list. Will we have to do some heavy porting to configure crosstool to build the toolchain for our target? Or can we use it with some minor modifications? Has anyone used crosstool for MPC8260? I'm really sorry I'm asking such basic questions, but the fact remains, I'M A NEWBIE!!! :-( Regards Vijay Padiyar ------ Want more information?
