Recompiling GCC just won't work ....

Recompiling GCC just won't work ....

[Ousama Rawas]

Hey all... I'm a relatively new gcc user, so bear with me a bit... 

So I downloaded and compiled GCC  4.0.0 having configured it in the
following manner:

--prefix=/usr/local/gcc40 --bindir=/usr/local/gcc40bin 

So anyway it worked and everything was fine... Now I need to compile
GCC again with --target set to mips... For some reason, after I
configure GCC (--prefix=/usr/local/gcc40mips
--bindir=/usr/local/gcc40mipsbin --target=mips), I get an error like 1
or 2 minutes into the compilation of GCC, and it aborts. BTW, I'm
using fedora core 3. Can anybody help me with this?

I'd appreciate it also if someone could refer me to the list of
targets that I can compile GCC for... I want to compile GCC for the
mips-r4000, and I'm not sure which switch to use to specify this....

Thanks.

I am sure there are people on this list who can help you, but you
really need to post the error message you are getting.  It could be
any number of things thats causing the failure, and without the exact
message no one knows how to help.

Compiling GCC 4.0.0 for mips r4000

[Ousama Rawas]

Hi ... 

I was wondering if anyone could help me with something. I want to
compile GCC 4.0.0 for the mips-r4000, and I'm not sure which switch to use
to specify this when using --target for configuring GCC before
compiling it.... If anyone happens to know the location of some list that
I can use to get this, then I would really appreciate if you could
refer me to it.

Thanks ..

Ousama Rawas.
