xgcc build: -Dinhibit_libc appears not to work

[Sean Callanan]

Dear mailing list,

I have been having issues compiling gcc as a cross-compiler.
Specifically, my problems center around -Dinhibit_libc. 

I am trying to compile gcc 3.1 (from Mar 17 CVS) using gcc-2.95.2 under
SuSE Linux 7.0/sparc on a Sun Ultra 5 with an UltraSparc IIi processor.
The build and host platform is sparc[32]-linux, the target platform is
sparc64-linux (I'm basically trying to build a full sparc64 userland and
distro).

I have the March 14th CVS of binutils, and the March 17th CVS of gcc. My
environment is set up as follows:

BUILD="sparc-linux"
HOST="sparc-linux"
PREFIX="/usr/local"
TARGET="sparc64-linux"

I am following instructions from the CrossGCC HOWTO, and have separate
build directories for each of the packages. I am not using the
"one-tree" build method.

First, I configured binutils:

> ../binutils/configure --build=$BUILD --host=$HOST --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX -v

Then, I built it (make; make install) successfully. I now have sparc64-*
in /usr/local/bin.

Then, I configured gcc:

> ../gcc/configure --build=$BUILD --host=$HOST --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX -v

Subsequently, I issued the command

> make cross LANGUAGES=c

(this has also been tried with "make cross", "make LANGUAGES=c", "make"
and "make all", since that's every build method I could find on the
Internet. Error messages do not vary between these methods.)

The build fails with the messages below. How can I build GCC without
requiring libc for my target platform? This must be possible or else
we'd have a chicken-and-egg problem. In addition, why is the
-Dinhibit_libc in the xgcc command not preventing these errors from
happening?

Sincerely,

Sean Callanan

Try --disable-shared until you have built a libc that libgcc.so could
be linked with.
