Hi,

I just noticed a5c7b007eaa675cc904f5285291d2f8a597efc84 [1], which is a
bit bogus.

I've been building gcc 4.2.x for arm on my ubuntu gutsy machine for a
while now, and I can compile things like octave (which needs a fortran
compiler) and hope to be able to build R and grass soon (which also need
a fortran compiler). After this revision was committed bitbake halted to
a stop and informed me I needed to install gfortran. Hmmm.
I know for sure gfortran isn't need and I suspect the real issue is in
gmp-native or mpfr-native not being picked up correctly.
As a test I compiled gcc natively on my efika (without gfortran, but
with mpfr-dev and gmp-dev installed) and that works and now has a
working fortran compiler. I even compiled octave natively and it runs
quite well.

To sum it up:

~ * gfortran is NOT needed to build a gfortran cross-compiler, something
else is wrong.

regards,

Koen
