System: Linux digraph 2.2.20 #2 Sat Nov 10 16:44:22 UTC 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc-cvs/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc/mainline --disable-shared --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib
>Description:
The documentation of how to build cross-compilers is inadequate, and
is split into two parts (current installation manual doc/install.texi,
and parts in doc/install-old.texi that have not been merged into the
main installation manual) plus an unofficial FAQ.
I have many times requested that people deal with this; no-one has
done so. List of requests in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-01/msg00370.html
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to build cross-compilers using just the current documentation,
without the old install manual or CrossGCC FAQ, especially in more
complicated cases such as:
* Canadian crosses.
* Crossing into a glibc-based target, without pre-existing GCC or
glibc libraries or headers for that target (where glibc and libgcc
interdepend).
* Not using a unified tree.
>Fix:
Document cross-compilers properly.
