failure on gcc-cross-initial-4.2.4-r5 for i686

failure on gcc-cross-initial-4.2.4-r5 for i686

[Travis Stratman]

Hello,

I am trying to build an image for an i686 based machine (pentiumpro). I
have it configured to use gcc 4.2.4, glibc 2.6.1, binutils 2.18.50.0.7.

The build fails on do_compile in gcc-cross-initial. The log shows
"checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables" in configure-stage2-intl.

Looking at the config.log in gcc-4.2.4/build.i686-linux.i686-linux/intl
shows:
----
configure:2118: checking for C compiler default output file name

If I recall correctly the crt1.o file is a start file provided by glibc,
but I need to get gcc compiled first...

Any ideas on where to start? Is there any information that I can provide
that would be helpful?

Thanks,

TAS

yes. gcc-initial is really very minimal gcc. It does not depend on anything 
except binutils. We make sure that it does not build stuff thats not needed at 
this stage.

Are you using latest git? I do not get the error like yours for me it builds 
fine for i686-generic machine. Could you post your local.conf ?
are you using some pre existing distro and machine or defining your own.

I'm using the latest git (as of Saturday morning) of
org.openembedded.dev. I'm using i686-generic.conf for the machine file
and a custom distro file mostly taken directly from the Angstrom conf
for now. As of right now there is nothing in /opt/oe/EMAC-OE-x86 besides
the custom conf files that I am using and a custom busybox packages
directory. I have done a lot of work w/ OE for ARM but I'm starting out
with the latest and greatest for the x86 side.

Can you try by removing above three

Rest of the changes seems like should not have effect.

This doesn't seem to change anything. I made the changes, cleaned all
glibc and gcc packages, then tried to build and I still get the same
issue.

Any other ideas?

Hmm looking closely it seems that your cross compiler is from
i686-linux -> i686-linux which is native configuration and intl
configury  is then trying to use
your freshly built CC instead of the BUILD_CC. In short its not really
thinking if it is cross compiling. I have a x86_64 box thats why it
worked for me because I am cross'ing from x86_64-linux to i686-linux

I will give it a shot on x86 box too. Meanwhile can you also define
TARGET_VENDOR = "something" for your distr and rebuild

I'll save you some trouble - been building i686-generic on I32 x86 for months 
w/o a problem. Angstrom distro with a small overlay - configuration is pretty 
basic.

i686-linux holds my native packages
i686-angstrom-linux holds my target/cross packages, including gcc-cross
i686-generic-angstrom-linux holds machine-specific target packages

Yeah this makes your target triplet different then your host triplet and hence 
it compiles a correct cross gcc for you.

Are that your overlay directory names?


Then they have nothing to do with the actual problem AFAIK.

It's probably the target triplet name that makes the difference, like
Khem suggests.

Obviously, not. Those are my target and host triplets. Those are the 
directories used in work, stamps, staging and pkgdata among other things.

Correct, as Khem suspected and Travis confirmed, not setting TARGET_VENDOR 
messes things up by clashing host and target triplets, which confuses the hell 
out of the cross-compilation :)
BTW, Angstrom sets it to "-angstrom" by default, as in my case.

Maybe better solution would be as small change to staging hierarchy:

Suppose that build platform is i686-linux and target platform is
i686-linux as well.

- target system staging files have prefix /usr and are sysrooted:
  now:      tmp/staging/i686-linux
  proposed: tmp/staging/i686-linux

- native toolchain files have prefix /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux as native location
  now:      tmp/staging/i686-linux
  proposed: tmp/staging/i686-linux-native

This will prevent path clash if build and target triplets are exactly
the same. => It will allow simple native build using OE toolchain.

Side effect: It will invalidate existing buildroots.

I had suspected that it might be something like this. Making this change
fixed the gcc-initial compile problem. Now, it fails on glibc 2.6.1...
something to do with undefined references in libc_pic.os.

I don't have too much time to look into it now, but I'll post more
information later.

Thanks,

Travis
