Trouble building cross-compiler i686-pc-linux-gnu => mipsel-elf

[Ralf Jahr <ralf.jahr@informatik.uni-augsburg.de>]

Dear list,

I try to build a cross-compiler for a mips-target. My goal is not to run 
the code but to get an idea of how gcc performs optimizations as for 
example modulo scheduling. The target I am actually working with is the 
PISA architecture used by SimpleScalar. This is not supported but 
similar to the mips4 architecture. So far...

I used this tutorial [1] and GCC 4.3.2, binutils 2.18. Compiling the 
binutils and gcc worked fine, it did not throw any errors. You can see 
my log here: [2]

Well, i assumed that I would get a compiler which can build executables. 
Unfortunately but this does not work; I get the following error message:

/usr/cross-mips/lib/gcc/mipsel-elf/4.3.2/../../../../mipsel-elf/bin/ld: 
crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

More logging information can be seen here:

Should this normally have worked? Do you have any ideas how in can make 
it working or what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance, bye

Ralf
