------- Comment #6 from etienne_lorrain at yahoo dot fr 2006-08-18 13:55 ------- I do have $(HOME)/local/powerpc-ibm-eabi/bin/ar.exe and I am using $(HOME)/local/bin/xar.exe for my stuff here, after install. To bootstrap, GCC may better use $(HOME)/local/powerpc-ibm-eabi/bin/ar.exe but that will not be in the path, so GCC needs to call it with full path.
I was thinking "combined tree" was not as good, mostly because I had to select which common part of the trees to keep - and well, I may have choosen the binutils ones (difficult to report a bug to binutils when you did not use their source to generate). Thanks for the trick about using cpio with or without the -u option (better than "rm -rf" in Makefile), and to show the order you use too. Etienne. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28770
