[Bug libc/10545] New: forced_unwind and c_cleanup needed when cross-compiling

[pi00100100 at gmail dot com]

I'm trying to cross-compile glibc-2.10.1 with gcc-4.4.1 from
i686-unknown-linux-gnu to x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

When configuring, I get the following error message:

checking for forced unwind support... no
configure: error: forced unwind support is required

I can fix this by adding libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes to the configure arguments
list, but then I get another error message:

checking for C cleanup handling... no
configure: error: the compiler must support C cleanup handling

The only way to get rid of this one is to add libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes to the
configure arguments list.

Is this the normal and recommended way of proceeding? Perhaps, instead, there is
another better way to accomplish glibc cross-compilation, but I don't know it.
In all cases, I think some more hints about cross-compiling should be included
somewhere in glibc documentation, perhaps on the wiki.

Thanks.

Cross-compiling is not supported.  You're on your own.
