glibc and kernel build problems (EST8260)

[Brian Ford]

I am trying to build glibc and the fsmlabs kernel for the EST8260 from
scratch and am having a few problems.

For glibc, I have read the HowTo and I think I applied the proper glibc
patches.  I have also patched my gcc specs file.  Here is where I am
dying:

powerpc-linux-gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -r -o
/home/ford/linux/build/glibc/elf/librtld.os '-Wl,-('
/home/ford/linux/build/glibc/elf/dl-allobjs.os
/home/ford/linux/build/glibc/libc_pic.a -lgcc '-Wl,-)'
powerpc-linux-gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -shared -o
/home/ford/linux/build/glibc/elf/ld.so  \
          /home/ford/linux/build/glibc/elf/librtld.os           \
          -Wl,--version-script=/home/ford/linux/build/glibc/ld.so.map
-Wl,-soname=ld.so.1
/home/ford/linux/tools/powerpc-linux/bin/ld: unable to find version
dependency `GLIBC_2.0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

For the kernel, I get:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/ford/linux/src/linuxppc_fsm/arch/ppc/mm'
powerpc-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/ford/linux/src/linuxppc_fsm/include

init.c: At top level:

Any ideas?  Thanks.

I would go to MontaVista http://www.mvista.com/ and get their CDK.
They have already done this work and more.

You need to change arch/ppc/mm/init.c

Do you know if their 8260 glibc is compiled for soft or hard float?  Also,
did they apply the less than 32 byte cache line patch?  That is removing
optimization for the 8260 instead of fixing things.

These questions and others are why I was hoping someone could help me do
it from scratch myself.

If this is "the right thing to do", then why is it not in the ppc kernel
tree?  I could obviously have done this myself, but I wanted to bring it
to someone's attention who could architect the real fix.

MontaVista has the source RPM's available, so you should be able to
rebuild everything from scratch.  If it doesn't meet your needs, then
you can change it.

The MontaVista CDK is a complete package built for a specific target.
In the case of the 8260, this is hardware floating point, PowerPC 603
instruction scheduling in the utilities and compilers, and the proper
cache line size (which is 32 bytes).  All of the libraries and
applications are built using these tools, and it is highly recommended
you rebuild any applications not provided in the MontaVista CDK
that you may download from other sites rather than just install
generic PowerPC RPMS.
