trouble building gcc-3.2 --target=m68k-linux from scratch

[Peter Barada]

I'm attempting to build a m68k-linux compiler from scratch using stock
versions of:

linux-2.5.1
binutils-2.13
gcc-3.2
glibc-2.2.5
gdb-5.2.1

building with bill Gatliff's script to config the kernel, copy over
the hears, config/binud binutils, config/build gcc-bootstrap...

The kernel headers copy over fine, binutils-builds, and gcc-bootstrap
is configured as: 

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
/home/pbarada/work/cvs-wavemark/cross-linux-tools/gcc-3.2/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/home/pbarada/work/cvs-wavemark/cross-linux-tools/gcc-3.2/gcc/version.c --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=m68k-linux --prefix=/tmp/junk --enable-languages=c --with-local-prefix=/tmp/junk/m68k-linux --without-headers --with-newlib --disable-shared --verbose --norecursion 
#  using "mt-frag"

And it fails building gcc/unwind-dw2.c:

Configure created ghtr-default.h with '#include <pthread.h>' since it
found a pthread.h that can be used, but that was by using the *host*
compiler to find a phtreads.h, not the *target* compiler.

Since a stock linux source doesn't have pthread.h in its headers, and
glibc hasn't been built yet, there's no pthread.h that can be used at
this time.

If I add --disable-threads to the configure for the bootstrap, it
completes.

1) Why does configure think that it has a valid pthreads.h(or that is
   should use the host compiler to find one)?
2) Is --disable-threads necessary for the bootstrap step?

All suggestions are appreciated...

I ran into something like this on ppc on gcc-3.0.4; the fix was
to do a glibc "make install-headers" before building gcc, I think.  See

That should be completely irrelevant. User programs (such as gcc) aren't  
supposed to include the raw kernel headers, they're supposed to - if  
anything - use copies provided by libc. (And no, /usr/include/linux is  
*NOT* supposed to be a symlink. That was a design error in ancient history  
that has been fixed *years* ago.)

That, OTOH, is of course completely relevant.

I believe 3.2 does include the change that made pthreads default on  
practically every variant of Linux, so as to get everyone on a common ABI.

why that?? Try current 2.4 or maybe late 2.5

ok.

patches required

I was unable to get a clean crosscompiler because of header problems
since a few weeks. Imho libgcc should be a bit less header-demanding
when just languages=c is requested, otherwise even trivial tasks like 
crosscompiling kernels will turn into rocket science.

Btw why is unwind-dw2 compiled at all for platforms that do sjlj
exceptions anyway?

I am sending you my random patch collection per PM.

Just adding --disable-threads to the configure line allowed the
bootstrap compiler to build.  Why create more interdependencies?

Its what I have, and it seems to work for ColdFire v4e (so far).

Why the patches?  How can these patches get back into the FSF tree so
I don't need a crystal ball to get a working build when gcc-3.2.1 or
gcc-3.3 comes out?

Since I'm just building a C compiler why is exception handling getting
built at all?

good question.

another good question.
