Runtime libs

Runtime libs

[Bruno R. Barreyra]

I've done a lot of progress with my FADS board... ppcboots automatically

determines its IP address, downloads and boots the kernel. The kernel
boots,
maps a NFS share as root.

Now I'm looking for a runtime lib. I've tried compiling both stock
glibc-2.2.1
and dietlibc, and failed miserably. What is the favored runtime lib now
for
a 823 target?

I know I can use the Montavista stuff, I'm playing with it a little bit,
but I'm
a compile freak... :)

I've used glibc-2.1.3 with some patches for my mpc8xx projects.
You will need a patch for the cacheline size, (search this list)
and a patch to fix a typo affecting little-endian in C-ctype.c.

I cross-compile it on a x86-box and it works like a dream. =)

A good thing to do is to download tarballs+diffs/SRPMS from
debian/redhat
and check out their patches.

Hope this helps /

Magnus
