Lee,
For my x86_64, I gave up on trying to do it through the normal path (having a plain debian unstable system), and finally just downloaded the gcc toolchain (gcc, binutils, and glibc) and built them as cross compilers with the prefix x86_64-linux-
For binutils I made a directory binutils_x86_64 and in there I used:
../binutils-2.16/configure --prefix=/usr/local/x86_64 --target=x86_64-linux
For gcc (first pass) I used:
../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/x86_64 --target=x86_64-linux \ --enable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c
That's enough to get a gcc that builds the kernel.
Then I built glibc, and then once again the gcc with:
../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/x86_64 --target=x86_64-linux \ --enable-shared --with-headers=/usr/local/x86_64/include \ --with-libs=/usr/local/x86_64/lib --disable-multilib \ --enable-languages=c
Probably not the best way, but it worked for me ;-)
Now I also installed a hack make program in /usr/local/bin that is used first:
--- #!/bin/sh
if [ ! -z $__MY_MAKE_RUNNING__ ]; then /usr/bin/make $* exit $? fi
__MY_MAKE_RUNNING__=1 export __MY_MAKE_RUNNING__
pwd=`pwd | sed -ne '/\/home\/rostedt\/work\/kernels\//p'`
if [ -z $pwd ]; then m="intmake" else m="amdmake" fi
# prove to me that I'm running the right one echo $m $m $* ---
with amdmake in /usr/local/bin: --- PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/x86_64/bin/ make CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux- ARCH=x86_64 $* ---
and intmake also in /usr/local/bin: --- make ARCH=i386 $* ---
So now all the kernels in my /home/rostedt/work/kernels are built with the cross compiling x86_64 and all other kernels for intel i386. I know this is a major hack, but I don't have time to pretty this up!
