We > now have a compiler with relatively few known issues. One issue that arose during DebConf7 relates to an upstream behaviour of gcc that is not working inside the debian packaging code. Emdebian has been building cross-compiler toolchains for some time but in order to be able to build all Emdebian packages from source, we need to be able to cross build gcc, not to provide a cross compiler but to provide some core libraries - specifically libgcc1 and libstsdc++6-foo - cross built for a different host. e.g. Build=amd64|i386|powerpc Host=arm Target=arm compared to build=amd64|i386|powerpc host=amd64|i386|powerpc target=arm for a standard cross-compiler. As host==target this isn't a full canadian cross, more of a reverse cross. A normal arm-linux-gnu-gcc etc. toolchain is used to build these packages. The attached patches to debian/rules.defs and debian/rules2 provide support for these builds as well as outline support for a full canadian cross build. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-1-amd64 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.linux.codehelp.co.uk 500 unstable www.emdebian.org 500 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ======================================-+-====================== gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2-20070627-1) | 4.2-20070627-1 cpp-4.2 (= 4.2-20070627-1) | 4.2-20070627-1 binutils (>= 2.17cvs20070426) | 2.17cvs20070426-8 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070627-1) | 1:4.2-20070627-1 libgomp1 (>= 4.2-20070627-1) | 4.2-20070627-1 libc6 (>= 2.5-5) | 2.5-11 -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
