Re: Cross Compiling, Target String, etc...


I think all are ok.
What you need do is to add the new target item in configure.in and other files with right specification.

Cross-Compiling...man what confusion...

What is the significance of the host string that follows target=<host> (sometimes
CROSS_COMPILE=<host>)?  It's format is <CPU>-<BRAND>-<KERNEL>-<OS>.  I've checked glibc-2.3.1 and
it WILL NOT matter what you place for <BRAND> (see glibc-2.3.1/INSTALL, under supported
configurations).  Is there any rhyme or reason for this naming scheme?  How do I predict what a
host string should be?  i.e. I want to compile for a Celeron based pc running linux.  What's my
<HOST> string?  i686-pc-linux-gnu?  x86-unknown-linux?  Celeron-outdatedworkstation-linux-gnu?
