           Summary: Building cross gcc-3.3.1 for sparc-sun-solaris2.6 fails
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bootstrap
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: sampo at symlabs dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
  GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
GCC target triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.6

1. I am unable to build ix86 Linux to sparc-sun-solaris2.6 cross compiler
   by following the (scant) instructions supplied with gcc-3.3.1. I believe
   this failure is due to bug in gcc cross compilation support using --with-sysroot
   option, see for details below.
2. The recommended FAQ at http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/ and
   http://www.sthoward.com/CrossGCC/ is hopelessly out of date
   (v1.01, Dec 3, 1999) and does not provide answer to my question
3. The domain name for crossgcc mailinglist (crossgcc@sourceware.cygnus.com) as
   supplied by the said FAQ does not exist. Thus I am not able to obtain help
   by any of the "recommended" means.
4. All google and dejanews searches for cross compilation provide outdated
   instructions using gcc-2.95.3 and --with-headers option. As you know this option
   is deprecated for gcc-3.3.1

Thus I am at my wits end and need to get some help or pointers to
right places. Also the documentation bugs (such as lack of
documentation and outdated FAQ) should also be fixed.

What I did
----------

# 1. Start by installing native gcc-3.3.1 on both Linux and Solaris 2.6. Install
#    binutils on both as well.

# 2. build cross binutils for sparc-sun-solaris2.6 on Linux (using binutils-2.14.90.0.4.1)

export PATH=/apps/binutils/std/bin:/apps/gcc/3.3.1/bin:$PATH
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-2.14.90.0.4.1/configure --prefix=/apps/binutils/2.14.90.0.4.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6 -target=sparc-sun-solaris2.6
make
make install

# (snip - output of this build process will be provided if deemed relevant, it worked ok)

# 3. roll tar ball of headers and libraries on Solaris 2.6

cd /
tar cf solaris2.6-sysroot.tar usr/include usr/lib apps/openssl/0.9.7b-gcc-2.95.3/include apps/openssl/0.9.7b-gcc-2.95.3/lib usr/local/include usr/local/lib usr/ccs/lib

# 4. unpack sysroot on Linux machine (N.B. the --prefix of cross compiler will be
#    /apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6 and I am placing the sysroot under the
#    prefix per instructions in http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html for
#    --with-sysroot option - supposedly sysroot will be found by relative path)

mkdir /apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/sysroot
cd /apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/sysroot
tar xf solaris2.6-sysroot.tar
ln -s usr/lib   # on Solaris 2.6 /lib is just a symlink to /usr/lib

# 5. configure and (attempt to) compile the cross compiler

export PATH=/apps/binutils/std/bin:/apps/gcc/3.3.1/bin:/apps/binutils/2.14.90.0.4.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin:$PATH
mkdir build-gcc-sol26
cd build-gcc-sol26
../gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=/apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --enable-languages=c --with-sysroot=/apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/sysroot -with-gnu-as -with-as=/apps/binutils/2.14.90.0.4.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.6-as -with-gnu-ld -with-ld=/apps/binutils/2.14.90.0.4.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.6-ld

*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:

    (Any other directories should still work fine.)

# (snip, full configure output available upon request. N.B. The "unsupported" warning
#  is bogus in my opinion since I only requested plain C support and the mentioned
#  directories appear to be related to C++ and Java)

configure: warning: 
*** Makeinfo is missing or too old.

Links are now set up to build a cross-compiler for sparc-sun-solaris2.6
  from i686-pc-linux-gnu.

### Keep on hammeing...

sparc-sun-solaris2.6-gcc -v -Wl,-rpath-link,/apps/gcc/3.3.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6/sysroot/usr/lib hello.c

### SUCCESS: this produces a dynamically linked executable that runs on target machine
### Conclusion: it can be made to work, but takes far more "fixes" than you would
### expect from a compiler that is supposed to be "production" grade

P.S. Submission of this bug cause Netscape-4.72 to hang. Using Lynx now, hope
this comes through.
