Trouble building a cross compiler

Trouble building a cross compiler

[Timothy Robb]

I'm having trouble building a cross compiler for a IBM PowerPC
403GB.  I have a old ncd xterm and want it to boot linux as part
of a experiment I have planned.

So I downloaed
binutils 2.12.2
gcc 2.95.3
glib 2.2.5
linux 2.4.17

I have set the environment variables.  TARGET=powerpc-linux
PREFIX=/usr/local/powerpc and PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin

I built binutils with
configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install

Now this works and the binutils get installed in $PREFIX

GCC
configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --without-headers\
--with-newlib --disable-shared --enable-languages=c
make all-gcc
make install-gcc

Linux, here I just do a make menuconfig to get headers
make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux- menuconfig
(save the kernel settings. then copy headers)
cp -r linux/include/linux $PREFIX/$TARGET/include
cp -r linux/include/asm-ppc $PREFIX/$TARGET/include/asm

And this works...

Now the problem lies with my glibc.  I do the following, which I got
from the instructions for building a sh4-linux target but with some
input for the embedded power pc stuff and it doesn't work.

CC=powerpc-linux-gcc AR=powerpc-linux-ar RANLIB=powerpc-linux-ranlib
configure --host=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX
--with-headers=$PREFIX/TARGET/include --disable-debug
--disable-profile --disable-sanity-checks
make

But this fails when I go to make it (where as when I do it for the sh4 it
works :(  )
Please keep in mind I don't know what the following means so I am posting
only the last bit of the output which should be relavent.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

It seams like you forgot the linuxthreads thing.
Try this.
tar -xzf glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz
cd glibc-2.2.5
tar -xzf ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5.tar.gz
cd ..
mkdir build-glibc; cd build-glibc
CC=${TARGET}-gcc AR=${TARGET}-ar RANLIB=${TARGET}-ranlib \
   ../glibc-2.2.5/configure --host=$TARGET --prefix=${PREFIX}/${TARGET} \
   --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --with-headers=${PREFIX}/${TARGET}/include \
   2>&1 | tee configure.log
make all install info install-info 2>&1 | tee make.log
cd ..
