Cross GCC and Sysroot

["Duft Markus" <Markus dot Duft at salomon dot at>]

Hi!

I'm working on getting a compiler-farm up, that can cross compile to
multiple platforms. It's allready almost done, but there are some small
problems left over.

Since the Compiler-Farm will only compile (no preprocessing, no linking,
etc.) because of usage of DISTCC, i wanted to ask if there is a way to
build binutils/gcc in a way that there are only the really necessary
parts (as, gcc, g++) without support for linking and other unwanted
stuff.

The second problem is, how to find out what to put in the sysroot
packages used to bootstrap the crossc ompilers for each platform. At the
moment this is a really annoying manual process of sorting out and
tar'ing together /usr/include and /usr/lib with some additional
softlinks. Is there a somewhat short list of files i need for this
purpose?
The sysroot package is used only for bootstrapping gcc, since everything
that the cross-gcc will see is preprocessed allready.

Any comments/ideas appreciated ;o)

Thanks in Advance,
Markus
