Hi. I'm having a problem similar to one reported earlier this year (see
http://goo.gl/lBYtC), namely: SYSROOT_DIR is being computed incorrectly
for my external toolchain. I'm trying to use Emdebian's ARM cross
toolchain, which I installed in my Ubuntu 12.04 VM using:

   sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi

This puts arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.6 in /usr/bin, and the dependent
package binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi adds things like
arm-linux-gnueabi-ar, arm-linux-gnueabi-as, etc in the same location.
However, the latter package also drops a bunch of files in
/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi:

/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi
|-- bin
|   |-- ar
|   |-- as
|   |-- ld
|   |-- ld.bfd
|   |-- ld.gold
|   |-- nm
|   |-- objcopy
|   |-- objdump
|   |-- ranlib
|   `-- strip
|-- include
|   |-- aio.h
|   |-- aliases.h
|   <--SNIP!-->
|   |-- wait.h
|   |-- wchar.h
|   |-- wctype.h
|   |-- wordexp.h
|   |-- xen
|   `-- xlocale.h
`-- lib
     |-- crt1.o
     |-- crti.o
     |-- crtn.o
     |-- gcrt1.o
     |-- ld-2.15.so
     |-- ld-linux.so.3 -> ld-2.15.so
     |-- libanl-2.15.so
     <--SNIP--!>
     |-- libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.16
     |-- libstdc++.so.6.0.16
     |-- libthread_db-1.0.so
     |-- libthread_db.so -> libthread_db.so.1
     |-- libthread_db.so.1 -> libthread_db-1.0.so
     |-- libutil-2.15.so
     |-- libutil.a
     |-- libutil.so -> libutil.so.1
     |-- libutil.so.1 -> libutil-2.15.so
     |-- Mcrt1.o
     `-- Scrt1.o

So, as near as I can tell, SYSROOT_DIR should be /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi
for this toolchain. The following sed command in ext-tool.mk (~ line
311) is the problem:

SYSROOT_DIR=`echo $${LIBC_A_LOCATION} | sed -r -e 
's:usr/lib(64)?/(.*/)?libc\.a::'` ; \

When the above is executed, LIBC_A_LOCATION has the value
"/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/libc.a" so the regex doesn't match anything,
and I get the error "Incorrect selection of the C library".

For now, I've temporarily hacked ext-tool.mk to hard-code SYSROOT_DIR to
'/usr/arm/arm-linux-gnueabi', which seems to work. Just figured I should
tell some folks who may be able to implement a 'real' fix... :-}

Normally, toolchains installed system-wide in /usr are not usable
because their sysroot is mixed with tons of stuff. However, in this
case, it sounds like the Emdebian toolchain sysroot
in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi is clean and may be used by Buildroot. If you
can't cook a patch to fix this, I'll try to find some time to do it,
but I don't know when.

Best regards,

Thomas

I'll try to put together a patch if the Emdebian toolchain does, in
fact, work. (I'm still doing a few sit-ups to verify this...)

I guess I'm not going to use Emdebian, afterall. :-/ I'm attempting to
use buildroot, with an external toolchain, just to build a few libraries
(glib, libdbus-1, libcap) so I can run some diagnostics on an ARM
system. Specifically, I'd like to cross-compile bustle-pcap (see
http://www.willthompson.co.uk/bustle/) and run it on a target device at
work to see what the various apps are saying to each other over D-Bus. I
don't (yet) need to build a toolchain or root fs, I'm just looking for
an easy way to cross-compile glib & friends.

When I try to do this using buildroot + Emdebian (with the hard-coded
SYSROOT_DIR 'fix' I mentioned previously), it gets quite far into the
build, but then dbus-glib blows up with the errors show below. If I
attempt the same thing using buildroot + 'Sourcery CodeBench ARM
2011.09', it works fine.

It's frustrating that Emdebian *almost* works. I can't tell whether this
problem is the tip of a very large iceberg, or something that merely
requires a few minor patches to fix. Any recommendations about how
to fix the errors below?  Or is it unlikely to be worth the effort?
(I have no need to use Emdebian; I only chose it because I've used
it in the past and I'm somewhat familiar with it.)
