glibc build

[George Gensure,,,]

I get the following error while trying to cross-build glibc for mips on 
an i686.  Can anyone give any insight?

../sysdeps/mips/setjmp.S: Assembler messages:
../sysdeps/mips/setjmp.S:43: Error: Can not represent 
BFD_RELOC_16_PCREL_S2 relocation in this object file format

I ran into this at some point and tracked it down to adding -D__PIC__ to
CFLAGS.  I don't think it is necessary on newer (unreleased) compilers.

I added the following entry to the environment variable CFLAGS and to the
CFLAGS entry in glibcbug - -D__PIC__ ... got the same error.

Where is the CFLAGS that I should add to? In the Subdirectories?

Re: glibc build

CFLAGS=-D__PIC__ make all [check] install

the target "check" will not work if you are cross compiling, so you
might as well install...  You end up coming across this in several
places.

I went throught and deleted all of those entries in assembly files which
caused problems, but I end up with similar problems later, only the
assembler seems to have been running from standard input..

None of the compiler we ever recommended to use had this bug, so I
wonder what compiler you're trying to use.

binutils 2.8.1, 2.9.1, 2.10, 2.10.1 (with and without patches) 2.11
gcc 2.95.2, 2.95.2.1, 2.95.3

The bug was that the specs file in 2.95.? seems to be missing a
-K__PIC__ in the spec for *cpp %{.S...}

It does seem to be in the current snapshot as of a few weeks ago and is
thus not necessary, but also not released.

 None of 2.95.* compilers works for MIPS/Linux without additional patches.
