First trick is to build gcc for cross compiling like if you were simply compiling the kernel. Then build glibc with something like this: mkdir glibc-build cd glibc-build ../glibc/configure --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-ia64/include --disable-profile --disable-sanity-checks --disable-cvs --enable-add-ons=crypt --prefix= --host=ia64-gnu-linux --build=i386-linux make install Then afterwards one should be able to configure gcc to pick up the glibc headers and library.
