Re: GCC Cross Compilation Problem

I am trying to build PowerPC e300 and e600 core elf on
Solaris using Cross Compilation Tool Chain.

I am finding some difficulty here

1. Using powerpc-eabi-gcc ver 2.95.2, I am able to
build e300 and my test is passing. e600 build is
failing with error " Error: Unrecognized opcode:
`dcba' "

2. Then I tried powerpc-eabi-gcc ver 3.3.2 and gnu-gcc-3.3.2-binutils-2.14-ppc-elf but same result .
e300 ELF is building and passing test but e600 build
is failing with same "dcba" instruction error.


3. When I tried powerpc-eabispe-gcc ver 3.4.2 it built
both e300 and e600 ELFs but now e300 test is failing
with error
"Unexpected exception: 0x0000.
Entering SHUTDOWN().  "

Can anyone suggest some possbile reason ? Is there
some special switches to be used with "eabispe"
version ?
I remember some talk about the "normal" PPC support and the PPC-SPE
(e500 type) not being possible to cater with one GCC... Therefore there
are two separate "PPC EABI targets" (or three via the '-eabialtivec')  :-(

SO:

- for the e300 you have to use a 'ppc-eabi' targeted toolchain

- for the e600 you have to use a 'ppc-eabispe' targeted toolchain

A Google search with "SPE", "e500", "Aldy Hernandez" (the SPE support
maker) could give more info...
