Re: Errors when building powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu libgfrotran

Let's make it more clear: There should be ONLY ONE glibc with headers
and libraries
for the $target at a time! Not "some headers from some old glibc" mixed
with the new
libraries from the just built glibc!
The '--with-sysroot=$sysroot' as a bare idea is useful, although using
the traditional install
scheme, nothing disables one to use the symlinks :
$prefix/$target/include -> $sysroot/usr/include
and
$prefix/$target/lib -> $sysroot/usr/lib
and then make those few additional symlinks :
ld.so.1 -> ../../lib/ld.so.1
libc.so.6 -> ../../lib/libc.so.6
into the '$sysroot/usr/lib' so that also these would be seen there. And
edit the 'libc.so' and
'libpthread.so' scripts to not have those absolute paths like in that :
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )
or something row in the '$sysroot/usr/lib/libc.so' script...
If one has some older glibc in that $sysroot, the recommended way could
be to do a :
rm -f -r *
in the $sysroot before installing the new glibc there... The 'make
install_root=$sysroot install'
command quite sure doesn't remove those old 'lib*-x.y.z.so*' files in
the '$sysroot/lib', ie it is
not any "update" command which would do things like this....
