Cross Compiler and Linker for Linux

[Dave Jarvis]

Hi, folks.

>>Try using absolute pathnames in the configure:
>   ../gcc-%{gcc_version}/configure --target=sparc-solaris \
>     --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --without-newlib --verbose \
>     --disable-shared --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,ada \
>     --prefix=%{prefix}

With a combination of absolute pathmanes and specifying the extra 
options on the command-line, I have managed to compile (and install!) a 
"working" sparc-solaris-gcc-3.3 compiler on Linux.  I'm so excited that 
I'm sharing the news before I have actually tried compiling something 
(the executable pulls up version information just fine, so I figure it 
will compile without problems).

Please find attached the complete instructions on how to create a cross 
compiler on Linux Mandrake i686 (probably RedHat, Slackware, and Debian 
too) for a Solaris sparc machine.  You have my permission to include 
them (with modifications and appropriate attributions to myself, Joel, 
and Peter) in any and all GCC-related documentation.  (If you believe 
them to be of any use.)

Thanks for all your help!

Sincerely,
Dave Jarvis
