Hi Andrew,
I've been using your cross-compilers here:
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/cross-compilers/
for a long time now, but they're starting to suffer from a bit of neglect.
For example, the ia64 bundle, which used gcc 3.4.5 is now finally too old to build 2.6.30-rc1, because of a gcc bug related to labels.
Some of the newer bundles which use gcc 4.1.0 don't work because of a check in:
include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h
So my question is, do you still use those tools hosted on kernel.org or do you have a new solution these days?
If you have a new solution, I'd like to hear it, because I found those cross-compilers pretty useful, as I'm sure others did.
I spent most of yesterday fiddling about and managed to build an x86_64 host, ia64 target, gcc 4.2.3, glibc 2.3.6 bundle, and it all seems to work.
Is this something you're interested in? I could send you my tarball (and slowly work on some of the other archs).
If so, what were the crosstool build options you used? I'm specifically wondering about:
- should I am for lowest common denominator host or are you ok with x86_64 host
- did you statically link the toolchain? or is it dynamically linked?
Thanks.
