Building cross-compiler for PowerPC/VxWorks

[Kirk Ellett]

Hi,

I am trying to build a Solaris->PowerPC/VxWorks cross-compiler that
allows you to disable implicit template instantiation (WindRiver's GNU
compiler has a broken -fno-implicit-templates flag).  So I configured the
egcs-1.1.1 release as
configure --target=powerpc-unknown-eabi
--with-headers=/appl/tornado_1.0.1/target/h.

I realize that I probably should do a --with-libs also, but I just wanted to
see if it would work first.

The make cross then proceeded to build libiberty and some texinfo stuff,
then started into the gcc directory.  Then it crashed, saying it couldn't
find autoconf (I actually don't have it).

Question#1:  I didn't need autoconf when I made egcs-1.1.1 native.  Is
this an error, or does a cross-compiler build need autoconf?

Question#2:  Does anyone have any detailed instructions for building this
cross-compiler, including maybe configure options and which runtime
libraries it needs from the Tornado distribution?

Please mail back to me, I'm not on this list.  Thanks.
