demo-i686.sh does not build a linux kernel.

demo-i686.sh does not build a linux kernel.

[Rick Foos]

The default demo-i686.sh configuration builds a compiler that does not build 
a Linux kernel.

eval `cat i686.dat gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6-tls.dat` sh all.sh --notest

From the following message on the kernel list, the default compiler is not 
supported, and will never build a kernel.

This issue has already been reported:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2009-07/msg00052.html

Since Linus has made a decision to not support gcc 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, the 
scripts should be updated, maybe removing the versions that are not 
supported, or at least having a default that works.

eval `cat i686.dat  gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.3.5.dat` sh all.sh --notest

The above configuration built a working compiler on cygwin, and the compiler 
built linux-2.6-kgdb version 2.6.33.

Thanks,
Rick

The last feature-commit to the original crosstool dates almost 3 years ago,
and is now considered unmaintained (sadly).

There is an alternative, crosstool-NG, which I maintain and that you can
find there:
