Crosscompiler with egcs-1.0.2

Crosscompiler with egcs-1.0.2

[Bernhard Bitsch]

hello,
once again, how can I build a crosscompiler from egcs-1.0.2 ?
Must I apply a patch ( which ?)
which binutils are necessary / mandatory ?
I dont want to install to default prefix, what have I watch for ?

Thanks

I recommend you read the FAQ and the cross-gcc FAQ.

  > Must I apply a patch ( which ?)
I don't believe there are any pre-packaged patches to improve
cross compiler support for 1.0.2.  While 1.0.2 can be set up
to build a cross compiler, it's not as seamless as we'd like it
to be.  We addressing some of these problems for egcs-1.1.

  > which binutils are necessary / mandatory ?
Pick one that works for your target.  binutils-2.8 or binutils-2.9
are probably the best bets.

So configure with --prefix=<somepath>
