Errors while building bootstrap GCC for "mipsisa32-elf" target

["Monika Sapra" <monika dot sapra at gmail dot com>]

Hi all,

I am new to this list and GCC compiler. I am trying to build GCC4.1.0 for
"mipsisa32-elf" target. I would appreciate if someone could help me out in
resolving the errors during build process.

The detail is as follows:

OS: Fedora core5
Default GCC compiler installed on system:  gcc 4.1.0

The steps followed by me are as follows:

1. Configured binutils version 2.16.1 by using following command and build:

monika@localhost build]$ ../src/configure --target=mipsisa32-elf
--enable-languages=c --prefix=/home/monika/GCC/install

Note: I have installed binutils in GCC's install directory.

2. Configured GCC by using following command:

monika@localhost build]$ ../src/configure --target=mipsisa32-elf
--prefix=/home/monika/GCC/install

3. I got the following error during build process:

cc/./unwind-dw2.o libgcc/./unwind-dw2-fde.o libgcc/./unwind-sjlj.o
libgcc/./gthr-gnat.o libgcc/./unwind-c.o
make[3]: mipsisa32-elf-ar: Command not found
make[3]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/monika/GCC/build/gcc'
make[2]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/monika/GCC/build/gcc'
make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/monika/GCC/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

It was not able to find AR executable for mipsisa32 while it was build in
install directory. I temporarily solved this error by editing Makefile and
added path of 'AR' executable explicitly.

4. I again got the following error after step 3:

checking for additional debug build... no
checking for extra compiler flags for building...
checking for thread model used by GCC... single
configure: WARNING: No native atomic operations are provided for this
platform.

make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/monika/GCC/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

5. I also tried to build with option "--enable-languages=c" but I got the
following error:


[monika@localhost build]$ ../src/configure --target=mipsisa32-elf
--enable-languages=c --prefix=/home/monika/GCC/install

make[1]: *** [all-target-libssp] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

6. I also tried with option "--with-newlib" however got following error:

../../../src/libiberty/regex.c: In function 'xregfree':
../../../src/libiberty/regex.c:8121: error: 'regex_t' has no member named
'fastmap_accurate'
make[2]: *** [regex.o] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2
[monika@localhost build]$ ../src/configure --target=mipsisa32-elf
--with-newlib --prefix=/home/monika/GCC/install

Thanks in advance,
