Crash compiling binutils for alpha

Crash compiling binutils for alpha

[Ralf Jahr]

Hello,

For running benchmarks on the gem5 simulator I am trying to get a cross 
compiler for alpha. My host platform is Debian Linux (Squeeze) running 
on x86 in a virtual machine. Crosstool-NG installed without many 
problems, I then created a new folder (~/gem5sim/tc) and executed ct-ng 
menuconfig and ct-ng build afterwards.

The process stops when after starting with the binutils (see end of this 
email). I uploaded my config file and the log file here:
http//88.80.200.38/cross.tar.gz

I was not able to find something plausible from the log file. Changing 
the binutils version and GCC version did not help. I also checked the 
"known issues" but was not able to find something helping.

What could I do to get things running?

Thanks for any help,

Ralf

I've seen this in the logs:
[ALL  ]    *** ld does not support target alphaev5-unknown-elf
[ALL  ]    *** see ld/configure.tgt for supported targets
[ERROR]    make[2]: *** [configure-ld] Error 1

I am not sure it is possible to build a bare-metal compiler for Alpha...
Someone more knowledgeable than I in Alpha could probably help you more...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Thanks a lot for your response. It helped a lot. I was able to build it 
"with linux" and glibc.

Bye,

Ralf
