PPC405 libstdc++ cross-compile fails w/ 3.0.3

[Bryan Rittmeyer <bryan at ixiacom dot com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a PPC405-targetted gcc3 cross compiler which sits
on top of Montavista's HardHat Linux 2.0 (which itself uses binutils
2.10.91.0.2, gcc 2.95.3, glibc 2.2.3, and linux 2.4.2).

When configuring as follows on my i686-pc-linux-gnu (Debian) host,

../gcc-3.0.3/configure \
         --target=powerpc-linux \
         --prefix=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405 \
         --with-headers=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include \
         --enable-shared \
         --enable-long-long \
         --enable-threads=posix \
         --enable-langugages=c,c++ \
         --nfp \
         --with-cpu=403

I get an assembler failure from cross-compiling
libstdc++/libsupc++/eh_aux_runtime.c:

[snip gcc cmdline]
/tmp/cciOvBIV.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cciOvBIV.s:375: Error: invalid section for operation
/tmp/cciOvBIV.s:400: Error: invalid section for operation
make[3]: *** [eh_aux_runtime.lo] Error 1

building with -save-temps, the offending lines are:
         .4byte  .LLSDA1-.
and
         .4byte  .LLSDA2-.
(respectively).

It looks like similar, non-offending lines are all of the form
         .4byte  .LCFI0-.LFB1
in other words, there is another label after the -.

Does 3.0.3 require a newer version of binutils? Or is gcc generating
invalid assembler syntax? Should I file a GNATS problem report with more
details? (gcc 3.0.2 works correctly with the above configuration)

Regards,

Bryan
