Difference b/w FSF GCC and Apple GCC

[Mark F Rodriguez]

I'm trying to compile the GCC tools for Palm development but am having problems with the tool chain determining the proper host type. I'm wondering, if I replace the config files (configure, config.sub, etc.) in the standard GCC distribution with the ones found on Apple's Darwin site, will the proper bits be set to recognize the right host type -- powerpc-apple-darwin1.2. Or should I be using something like powerpc-unknown-bsd to get the compile to work for now? I already have CC running on MacOS X so in theory the prc-tools-2.0 (i.e., the Palm development tools) should compile if I can get it to recognize the appropriate host type.

I know eventually these settings will be part of the standard distribution of the GCC tools, but for know I'd like to get it working... just because:-)
