[Buildroot] Cannot compile gcc in target

[Buildroot] Cannot compile gcc in target

[Barry Kauler]

Hi, I am new to Buildroot, and it would be great if someone
experienced with Buildroot could help me out.

First time through, I just ran "make menuconfig" and apart from
choosing i586 architecture, just accepted the defaults, and got a
target root filesystem.

Fine, but it only has runtime files and what I want is a basic cli
compiling environment for compiling some applications statically. So I
ran 'make clean' then 'make menuconfig' again, and made what seem like
the minimum changes to create a compiling environment in the target
rootfs.

It all goes well until compiling gcc for the target, and stops with this:

TARGET_CPU_DEFAULT="" \
	HEADERS="options.h config/i386/i386.h config/i386/unix.h

I also tried the latest snapshot of Builroot, same problem. Does
anyone know what is going wrong here?

The .config file is attached.

[Buildroot] Cannot compile gcc in target

[Barry Kauler]

Update, I have now got gcc-target to compile.

I don't know what I did specifically, but I reran menuconfig and made
a few changes: changed gcc from 4.3.5 to 4.4.5, changed old
linuxthreads to posix native threads, enabled mpc package, maybe one
or two other things.

I read somewhere that gcc needs mpc, but really unsure about that.

Anyway, if anyone else wants a working i586 uclibc 0.9.32-rc3
toolchain, the .config is attached.

Regards,
Barry Kauler

mpc is only needed for gcc 4.5 and newer. You should not require that for
gcc 4.3.5 or 4.4.5

I tried this .config, and it builds just fine here. Are you sure you
did the build from scratch ? Can you put the full build log somewhere ?

Thanks,
