It was built from > glibc-0.961212-1o, and is a tar image. What is the latest glibc that supports the MPC860 processor and where can I get it. I dowloaded the latest glibc (2.1.1) from a GNU mirror and it compiled fine with my egcs-1.1.2 powerpc-linux cross-compiler. I tried adding the -mcpu=860 option and it barfed. Problems with floating point instructions as far as I can tell. I assume that the glibc developers do not consider targets without a floating point processor as a non-priority (I wish the MPC860 had an FPU). It looks like others have ported/modified some glibc sources to work with the -mcpu=860 option. What version is it and where can I get it. Are the modified glibc sources available as an archive and/or are there patches for any other glibc sources. Thanks, Brendan Simon. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
