RE: [ECOS] tool build

Yes, that was the problem. Sorry for the desperate entreaty. :-)
I get kind of desperate when something hugely complicated quits.

I had make the tools area be someplace other than '/tools'
and evidently either messed up, or something doesn't work about
moving the tools area. I looked and that file *is* on my
tools area.

I think I can fix it now.
Thanks so much!

And does arm-elf-ar definitely exist in your tools install directory? By
any chance, is the --prefix/--exec-prefix you used when configuring
binutils different from the --prefix/--exec-prefix you used for gcc?

Well, there's a bit of extra magic required if your binutils exec-prefix is
not the same as your gcc exec-prefix. Instead of using "--with-gnu-as
--with-gnu-ld" when configuring gcc, you should instead use
"--with-as=/PATH/TO/arm-elf-as --with-ld=/PATH/TO/arm-elf-ld" filling in
the blanks as appropriate :-).

To try and simplify the build instructions we didn't mention this. Perhaps
we should?

[ECOS] tool build

[Paul Kinzelman]

I've been having major problems even trying to build the tool set to
look at eCos, any help would be desperately appreciated.

I've been trying to build the gcc cross-compiler. I very carefully
tried to follow the instructions on 
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/tools/linux-arm-elf.html

On one system (2.2.5-15 kernel, egcs-2.91.66), I get a bunch of:
_udivsi3
/bin/sh: arm-elf-ar: command not found
_divsi3
/bin/sh: arm-elf-ar: command not found
_umodsi3
/bin/sh: arm-elf-ar: command not found
and then the make aborts.

I tried it on another system (2.2.12-20 and same version egcs).
 I get the above error sometimes, and I've also seen:
    gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
and then the make aborts.

I could believe the second error could be bad hardware, but
the first error sounds like something is not configured/defined
right.

Help!

Do you have an arm-elf-ar binary in your PATH?

Yup. It is.

You need to have the arm-elf binutils installed before you can build the
compiler.

I've also seen this with Linux's NFS client talking to a Solaris NFS
server. Solaris NFSv2 is broken. We upgraded our linux box's to NFSv3
as a workaround.
