newlib building

[Jon Beniston]

Hi,

What target (i.e. cpu / OS) are you building newlib for?

Libgloss implements the CPU/OS specific initialisation functions (crt0) and
system calls. It's not needed for every target though.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi,

I am trying build compile the newlib-1.16.0 version. I am getting the
following error while configuration.

checking how to compare bootstrapped objects... cmp --ignore-initial=16
$$f1 $$f
2
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     target-libgloss
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)


Here what exactly target-libgloss ? what can be the cause ? and how to fix
it ?

Thanks in advance
