Dear all, I am trying to build a cross-compiler for an alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu system, using crosstool-ng. The host is a i686-unknown-linux-gnu.
After applying several patches (look in [1]), I managed to build a tool-chain using binutils 2.18/gcc 4.2.3/linux kernel 2.6.24.7 and glibc 2.3.6 (with linuxthreads). However, I would like to use newer versions of gcc (4.3.x) and glibc(>=2.6). Trying to build these, however, yields some errors (initially in glibc and now in gcc). I managed to get as far as described here: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00061.html [1] http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00062.html The errors in [1] are coming from glibc. Ryan Arnold replied with this message: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2008-06/msg00063.html which solved the first problem described in [1]. However, I now get an error further down in the build procedure, while trying to build gcc 4.3.1 for the target architecture: source='/root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/src/gcc-4.3.1/libdecnumber/dpd/decimal128.c' object='decimal128.o' libtool=no i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -I/root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/src/gcc-4.3.1/libdecnumber -I. -pipe -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wcast-qual -pedantic -Wno-long-long -I/root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/src/gcc-4.3.1/libdecnumber -I. -c /root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/src/gcc-4.3.1/libdecnumber/dpd/decimal128.c [ALL ] rm -f libdecnumber.a [ALL ] ar cru libdecnumber.a decNumber.o decContext.o decimal32.o decimal64.o decimal128.o [ALL ] i686-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib libdecnumber.a [ALL ] make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu/build/build-cc-core-shared/libdecnumber' [ALL ] make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Temp/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-2008-06-19/targets/alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu/build/build-cc-core-shared/gcc' [ERROR] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libgcc.mk'.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Ioannis
