TR: Pb while building gcc-2.95.3 cross compiler for powerpc

["J.N. Helal" <jean-noel dot helal at quadrille dot fr>]

Hi

I'm trying to build a gcc-2.95.3 cross compiler for powerpc-linux. After
having looking after simular problems reported on the net, i'm looking for a
possible help for finding what is wrong in wat i did.

Regards

0) I'm using a host i686-mandrake-linux and gcc 2.95.3 is installed as the
native C/C++ compiler

1) I have build and installed binutil 2.14 (providing gnu as, ld and ar)
using --target = powerpc-linux and --prefix=/usr/local: I can invoque gas:
-----------
GNU assembler 2.14 20030612
Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.
This assembler was configured for a target of `powerpc-linux'.
-bash-2.05b$
-----------
I can invoque ls:
GNU ld version 2.14 20030612

2) Following (Kai Ruottu) suggestion on the net i downloaded
glibc-2.2.1-devel binary PPC distribution from yellowdog web site and
- copied include to /usr/local/powerpc-linux/include
- copied sys-include to /usr/local/powerpc-linux/sys-include
- copied .o .a and .so to /usr/local/powerpc-linux/lib

3) I download the corresponding linux kernel headers
(kernel-headers-2.4.10-12) from yellowdog distribution and installed it into
/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include/linux

4) I use the gcc configure command as follow:
./configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/usr/local --with-gnu-as --with-
gnu-ld
--with-header=/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include --with-header=/usr/local/powe
rpc-linux/sys-include --enable-threads=posix

5) then make all
-> after approximately 15 min here is the problem:
----------------------
make[2]: Entering directory
`/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/powerpc-linux/lib
iberty'
make[2]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/powerpc-linux/libi
berty'
make[1]: *** [../libiberty/libiberty.a] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/powerpc-linux/libs
tdc++'
make: *** [all-target-libstdc++] Error 2
------------------------------
seems that make do not find a makefile into powerpc/libiberty


6) so here is the config.log (one thing i remarked is that this file is not
created by ./configure but by the make all command: it does not exist after
./configure why.

------------------------------

.../...
configure:1749: checking whether the C compiler
(/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/xgcc -B/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.9
5.3/gcc/ -B/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/ -g -O2 ) works
configure:1765:
/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/xgcc -B/data/users/jeanno/gnu/gcc-2.95
.3/gcc/ -B/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/ -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c
1>&5
/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /lib/libc.so.6 when
searching for /lib/libc.so.6
/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/ld: cannot find /lib/libc.so.6
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#line 1760 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
------------------------------
seems that the configure fail because /usr/local/powerpc-linux/ld (gld)
search libc into /lib instead of /usr/local/powerpc-linux/lib ...
Is this resulting into not producing the required Makefile ?

Thanks again
