linux-2.1.60/i586,glibc-2.0.5c,egcs-971114 snapshot :)

[teunis]

configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr

Are there any problems with this?

and:
	What's the proper way to test egcs?  (make check?)
	How does one make a cross-compiler?
		(first few attempts failed ....)

TIA and G'day, eh? :)

Same, however you need many more pieces to get meaningful results (cross
assembler, linker, libraries & a simulator).

Hmmm, I thought we had fixed this problem several snapshots ago.

Jason, HJ any thoughts?

I think it may be NULL defined in the kernel source. Jason has defined
NULL in _G_config.h. But glibc uses its own _G_config.h. Ulrich may
be glibc should do the same. Should it be in glibc 2.0.6?

Grep shows up 5 files in /usr/include/linux that define NULL, and they
all define it wrong (i.e., as (void *)0 ).

binutils-latest + support for additional wanted platforms (eg. Win32 :)
libraries?  I don't know where to obtain them.
Same for simulator....  (why a simulator?)

Seems to prolly be a glibc-2.0.5c-ism...  as the other entry I've seen
here was from glibc-1 (libc5?)

I also get random "exception 11"s - where I didn't used to with previous
compilers.  [they're quite consistent actually - but I haven't yet tracked

Well, for many you can use the latest newlib release.

You'd want a instruction set simulator so that you can run the "execution"
tests -- particularly useful if you don't have a target board, or it has
a terribly slow (less than ethernet) speed link.

Likely.

You might want to look at the g77 info files for "Signal 11 and Friends".  This
might be a hardware failure.

???? newlib release ????

To be quite honest:
	I don't have immediate access to some of the hardware.....
	... and there's no Win32 emulator available... that works.

So how do I build a cross-compiler?

No - this is definitely egcs-971114
	(ref someone else's post about linux source causing this)

gcc-2.7.2.1 - works perfectly on all files
egcs-2.90.10p (pentium-gcc mods) - works perfectly... most of the time...
	(older egcs - some bugs present then)
egcs-2.90.16 - some problems, nothing serious.

my test code is ~3M of VR/math-related work.  VERY cpu-intensive (and
memory-intensive) to compile.  Makes an excellent test of optimizations
too - for instance: pgcc's output code is 30-50% faster than gcc-2.7.2.1's
output code with this project.

... egcs (plus other changes to the computer) have slowed it down - so
egcs is not yet as efficient for i586 as pentium-gcc.

G'day, eh? :)

newlib is a ANSI C library.  It's what Cygnus uses for most of its cross
builds.  I also believe it's used by RTEMS.

ftp.cygnus.com:pub/newlib

Which is why an instruction set simulator is so useful; not I'm not talking
about hardware, I'm talking about a program that simulates the ISA of a
particular chip.

  > So how do I build a cross-compiler?
I really don't have the time to discuss all the aspects of building a
cross compiler, because doing so also requires additional tools (cross
assembler, cross linker, cross binutils, target include files, target
libraries, etc etc).

If you just want a compiler that generates code for some target then
configure --target=blah
make cross

It will probably fail building libgcc1 or libgcc2 because you probably don't
have a cross assembler or suitable include files.

Yes.  newlib is the official C Library of RTEMS.  AFAIK RTEMS is the only
OS for which that is the case.

psim for the PowerPC and sis for the SPARC ERC32 are both very good
simulators.  Both can be viewed as a simple embedded target with a serial
port for console IO and a timer.

The best thing to do is read the crossgcc FAQ at
ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/embedded/crossgcc.

Good Luck.

Agreed.  I'll also put  a pointer to the crossgcc FAQ in the egcs FAQ.

FWIW : this should be documented somewhere....

README.cross material?

       ^^^^^

This was the most important....  My compile was failing and I had no idea
why.....  this was it!

Already setup:
	Cross assembler
	Cross linker
(complete binutils....)

I was just missing the compiler.....  (and "newlib")

G'day, eh? :)
