INSTALL gcc
configure cross-Compiler: alpha-dec-osf
make
>Description:
I want to compile the gcc as a Cross-Compiler.
I configured with '--target=alpha-dec-osf'
but 'make' blow out the message:
 ... /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/gcc-3.0/gcc/toplev.c:2293: undefined reference to 'ASM_FILE_START'

data in config.status:
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/gcc-3.0/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/gcc-3.0/gcc/version.c --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=alpha-dec-osf --enable-languages=c++ --norecursion 
#  using "mt-frag"

Synopsis: make-Error: gcc/toplev.c:2293: undefined reference to 'ASM_FILE_START'

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 27 00:10:17 2001
State-Changed-Why:
    You're supposed to tell GCC which version of osf it should target.  They're quire different.  Try alpha-dec-osf4.0, for example.  Note that GCC 2.95 doesn't support osf 5.0.
