- Subject: best practices on gcc building host tool for cross arch
Folks,
I am trying to build a simple elf file parsing tool.
Tool runs on a host, but wants to be able to parse core files
from embedded architectures.
host = x86
embedded = arm
In order to parse the embedded core file, the tool needs to see
and read the embedded kernel header files.
I would guess a version of gdb that runs on a host and debugs
a different target has similar issues.
Are there any "best-practices" for configuring/building/using gcc
in this manner?
This isn't strictly a "cross-compilation" build of gcc.
Cheers,
T.mike
