[Buildroot] Problem with building ARM cross toolchain using buildroot

[ashok vardhan]

Hi Sir/Madam,
           We are building a toolchain for ARM9 EDB9315A board using " arm-linux-gcc-3.4.3 tar file " provided by "    www.arm.cirrus.com ". 
     After extracting the tar file, we got two directories " opt " and " usr ".
     In that opt directory another directory buildroot is present .
     We started the steps to build the buildroot...........
     The steps are 1. make menuconfig 
                          2. make
     After doing the second step i.e make , we are getting errors. 
     
     Please provide us some solution regarding the building cross-toolchain using buildroot.
     
     Regards,
     Ashok.

You provided VERY informative error description...
The solution is: try to fix these errors.

You should not use the toolchain buildroot package provided by cirrus to
build a buildroot toolchain.

please download one from the buildroot website.

http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/snapshots/buildroot-snapshot.tar.bz2


The buildroot package from arm.cirrus.com is a binary one packaged with
the sources.

Well, to be fair, you can of course use an external toolchain from a
vendor, be it distributed in binary or in source-form.

See the "Toolchain" menu, "External binary toolchain".

If you run into problems with such toolchains, your best bet is to talk
to the one who provided that external toolchain.
That said, it sounds like this is just a normal ARM target, so there
should be no real need to use such an old compiler, from my POV.

HTH,
