Hi,
when building binutils-2.16 (for a new target) it fails on building ld,
saying that the target is not listed in config.sub file. Which is not the
case.
Examining the ld/configure script I have found that the section :
# Canonicalize the secondary target names.
result=`${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_sub $targ_alias 2>/dev/null`
if test -n "$result"; then
targ=$result
else
targ=$targ_alias
fi
. ${srcdir}/configure.tgt
fails to produce the correct target alias.
It turnd out that
${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} evaluates to /bin/sh
and
$ac_config_sub to /bin/sh ../../binutils-2.16/ld/../config.sub
which together obiously results with an awkward construct
I have a duplicated /bin/sh part, so the produced commandline would be:
/bin/sh /bin/sh ../../binutils-2.16/ld/../config.sub
I have found that the configure.in file contains exactly the same part of
the code, so I guess that the configure was generated correctly. So, either
${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} should evaluate to empty string or $ac_config_sub
should evaluate to ../../binutils-2.16/ld/../config.sub
What went wrong? Could someone help me please.
best regards
