Anyone built a PPC cross compiler on debian?

Anyone built a PPC cross compiler on debian?

[Erik Christiansen]

   Penguinppc.org's "Cross Development mini-howto for PPC Linux" failed
to build on my x86 debian woody host, due to an autoconf bug. (Thanks to
Hollis Blanchard for identifying this.)

   Also looked at the "Embedded Linux Development Kit" at www.denx.de,
but the list of supported hosts does not include debian.

   While I toss a coin to choose between trying to build binutils in a
manual hack, or dealing with RPMs on debian, is there another option
that should be considered?

Thanks,
Erik

I've updated the cross compile PPC toolchain scripts for my embedded
Linux  book for woody.  Check out the buildtoolchain script

Let me know if you have any questions.

"apt-get install rpm"

ELDK works fine for me...I only host from Debian.

Did you try out? One of our developers is running Debian, and he says
the ELDK works. The fact that  it's  not  officially  supported  just
means that we did not run the full set of tests on that platform.

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by  at  least
one  instruction  --  from  which,  by induction, one can deduce that
every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

Don't misunderstand... yes there's a configure.in bug, but it's only
triggered by you missing something you need (this is frequently i18n stuff).
So another option for you is to install the missing package.
