RE: [Linux-ia64] building the toolchain

[Matt_Domsch@Dell.com]

I managed to get the IA-64 2-16-2000 toolchain built using egcs-2.91.66 from
Red Hat 6.1 on an IA32 platform.
The only trouble I had was with 'make install prefix=/usr/local/ia64/'
command, where the Makefile in build/itcl/iwidgets3.0.0/unix needed to be
fixed a bit, to point to the TCL and TK directories within the top-level src
directory.  Here's my patch (of course, it'll have to be fixed to show your
own src directory).  Without the patch, 'make install' failed trying to
execute mkinstalldirs under the itcl directory.

What I haven't yet seen is a glibc release (with include files) that lets
you build even simple IA64 apps.  With no stdio.h anywhere on the Trillian
2-2-2000 CD, one can't compile the simplest hello world app, even though the
compiler looks like it would do it if glibc were present.

I have tried building the native cpmpiler with a cross compiler
but I pretty much gave up.  There might be some magic options
for configure but I haven't figured them out.

I have build a native compiler with the September release of the compiler.
You can grab the native compiler on bunyip in ~jes/usr_local-110100.tar.gz.
