RE: Build Failure for PowerPC using crosstool-ng 1.14.1

[Van Rafelghem Dominique <dvanrafelghem at dtisoft dot com>]

Hi Yann, everyone,

Thanks for the information.  Unfortunately my build is still failing.

Here is what I did:

I upgraded to crosstool-ng version 1.14.1 per your suggestion.

I followed your suggestion for the C-library in setting the supported kernel version to 2.4.18.
I did this since I'm not able to update the kernel version :(.

I did set an additional item which was the CT_OLDEST_ABI, I set this to 2.2.3 and I don't know if 
This caused the build to fail.

Here is the section of the .config file that shows the changes I made:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CT_LIBC_XLDD=y

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dominique, All,

Please, wrap lines at <80 chars, it's easier to read.

The 2.4 series of Linux is not supported by crosstool-NG. It's a too old
version. Only starting around 2.6.18 (dpeending on the target architecture)
was Linux capable of exporting its headers.

My first suggestion would be to update your target kernel. 2.4.18 is really
old, by nowadays standards: it was released more than 10 years ago!

If you really can't update, then you *might* be able to get a toolchain for
your system anyway. Just select the oldest kernel available in crosstool-NG
and tell glibc that it should support back to linux-2.4.18:

    C-library  --->
      Minimum supported kernel version (Specific kernel version)  --->
        Specific kernel version
          (2.4.18) Minimum kernel version to support

But you may encounter some rough edges...

Also, crosstool-NG 1.9.3 is old, no longer maintained, and no longer
supported. Latest is 1.14.1. Please upgrade.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
