Multilib for thumb-interwork (arm-elf)

Multilib for thumb-interwork (arm-elf)

[Alexander Raimondi]

Hi

I recently succeeded in compiling GCC-3.0.2 for target arm-elf under newest
cygwin.

I wanna use newlib as libc.

I can't make gcc to generate any multilib.

To build gcc I untared all gcc files into a directory ./gcc-3.0.2.
I made a symbolic link to newlib source directory in gcc-3.0.2.

I made a second dir. ./build-gcc

Now i did

> cd build-gcc

> ../gcc-3.0.2/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/usr/local --with-gnu-as
\
--with-gnu-ld --with-newlib --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-multilib --ena
ble-interwork

> make all install

Like this there is no multilib.

> arm-elf-gcc --print-multi-lib

brings out

.;
thumb;@mthumb

I had a look in some Makefiles in build-gcc. I found in
.build-gcc\gcc\Makefile the following section:

------ snip

EXTRA_MULTILIB_PARTS = crtbegin.o crtend.o

# If EXTRA_MULTILIB_PARTS is not defined above then define EXTRA_PARTS here
# EXTRA_PARTS = crtbegin.o crtend.o

---- snap

I don't understand how to whole build of gcc realy works (won't be that
easy, isn't it?). So maybe there is someone outthere that can
tell me what's wrong. How can I get gcc to make interworking libs (newlib
and libgcc)?
Why are all this lines commented out?


Thanks for any hint
