RE: 3.0.4 cross build fails on i686-pc-cygwin.

["Mack Lobell" <macklobell at hotmail dot com>]

Hi,

i finally succeeded in building a cross compiler, but i don't think i did it 
right.

My first approach was to add the flag --with-headers=/some 
path/newlib/libc/include. These file were then copied to 
prefix/powerpc-eabi/sys-include and used in some parts of the builing. The 
build still failes on i686-pc-cygwin and i386-unknown-freebsd4.5 with this 
approach. After looking around some more i found that make looks in 
prefix/powerpc-eabi/include NOT in sys-include?? If i copy sys-include to 
include the build succeeds on i686-pc-cygwin but not on 
i386-unknown-freebsd4.5.

My second approach was to copy newlib/libc/include to srcdir, with this 
approach the build succeeds on i686-pc-cygwin (i haven't tryied it on 
FreeBSD yet).

If any of these approaches are right please let me know.

When i look through the make.log i find several "implicit declaration" 
warnings so i still think i screwed up the path's:
../../../../gcc-3.0.4/libiberty/strdup.c: In function `strdup':
../../../../gcc-3.0.4/libiberty/strdup.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of 
function `malloc'
../../../../gcc-3.0.4/libiberty/strdup.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of 
function `strlen'
../../../../gcc-3.0.4/libiberty/strdup.c:8: warning: implicit declaration of 
function `strcpy'

I would really appreciate if someone could give an example on how to 
configure and make a cross compiler using newlib.

Regards.
