Building gcc-2.8.1 cross compiler.

[David Ryan]

Hi,

I'm attempting to build gcc-2.8.1 cross compiler using the following
configuration..

./configure --target=mipsel-scei-elfl --prefix=/usr/local/ps2dev/iop --with-
gnu-ld --with-gnu-as

I have compiled and installed binutils-2.9.1 into /usr/local/ps2dev/iop
before attempting to make gcc.  I am currently getting the following error.

  echo ${name}; \
  ./xgcc -B./ -O2  -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC    -g -I./include  -G
0 -g1 -DIN_LIB
GCC2 -D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED -fexceptions -I. -I. -I./config -c -DL${name}
\
      ./libgcc2.c -o ${name}.o; \
  if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then true; else exit 1; fi; \
  /usr/local/ps2dev/iop/mipsel-scei-elfl/bin/ar rc tmplibgcc2.a ${name}.o; \
  rm -f ${name}.o; \
done
_muldi3
as: unrecognized option `-G'
make: *** [libgcc2.a] Error 1

I have looked around various news groups and found that xgcc needs the
correct paths for finding as and ld in the
/usr/loca/ps2dev/iop/mipsel-scei-elfl/bin directory and paths can be found
using -print-search-dirs.  I did this and found:

$ ./xgcc -print-search-dirs
install: /usr/local/ps2dev/iop/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-scei-elfl\2.8.1\
programs:
\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\lib\gcc-lib\mipsel-scei-elfl\2.8.1\:\usr\local\p
s2dev\iop\lib\gcc-lib\mipsel-scei-elfl\:\usr\lib\gcc\mipsel-scei-elfl\2.8.1\
:\us
r\lib\gcc\mipsel-scei-elfl\:\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\mipsel-scei-elfl\bin\mipse
l-sc
ei-elfl\2.8.1\:\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\mipsel-scei-elfl\bin\
libraries:
\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\lib\gcc-lib\mipsel-scei-elfl\2.8.1\:\usr\lib\gc
c\mipsel-scei-elfl\2.8.1\:\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\mipsel-scei-elfl\lib\mipsel-
scei
-elfl\2.8.1\:\usr\local\ps2dev\iop\mipsel-scei-elfl\lib\

Can anyone confirm my suspision that somewhere in the configure script it or
in xgcc it has swapped / for \ and that xgcc won't find the correct as and
ld using these \ ?  Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks,
David.
