[Buildroot] Need some help with uClibc build

[Maxim Grigoriev]

Can somebody, please, help me.

I seem to be missing something trivial like the fact that
gcc-4.3.1+ would not work with uClibc-0.9.29, or something like this.

I'm trying to build buildroot with

    binutils-2.19
    uClibc-0.9.29
    gcc-4.3.1

I managed to configure and build everything including the compiler.
But then, uClibc build did not go through :

  CC libc/sysdeps/linux/common/chdir.os
In file included from ./include/sys/param.h:22,
                 from libc/sysdeps/linux/common/chdir.c:13:
./include/limits.h:124:26: error: limits.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libc/sysdeps/linux/common/chdir.os] Error 1
make[1]: *** [lib/libc.so.0] Error 2

I figured that using extra GCC flag "-D_GCC_LIMITS_H_" would help.
It did. But then, another problem raised up :

  CC libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.os
libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.c: In function 'int_add_no_wrap':
libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.c:33: error: 'INT_MIN' undeclared (first 
use in this function)
libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.c:33: error: (Each undeclared identifier 
is reported only once
libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.c:33: error: for each function it appears 
in.)
libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.c:35: error: 'INT_MAX' undeclared (first 
use in this function)
make[2]: *** [libc/sysdeps/linux/common/nice.os] Error 1

I guess I might be missing some trivial knowledge about how things work 
with each other.
If you can share with me this knowledge I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any of your help,

P.S. Some background on my project. Xtensa GNU/Linux is successfully 
building with
     
      binutils-2.18
      uClibc-0.9.29
      gcc-4.2.1

     with relatively recent buildroot update.

I'm trying to upgrade the compiler, which is important for our projects.

That could very well be - uClibc 0.9.29 is old, and gcc 4.3.x is
pretty new.

Why would you want to use those versions instead of the stable and
recommended ones? (uclibc 0.9.30, gcc 4.3.2)?

Thanks for your advice, Peter.

You suggest to keep it simple - the latest versions of the tools
and libraries are the best to try.

I will switch to uclibc 0.9.30 and gcc 4.3.2.
