I just started another attempt to build for ppc64, using the 20071030 book. And didn't get very far at all - binutils tried to use x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar and tried to find it (yeah, I'm building from x86_64 multilib).
This is the first part of the cross-compile, so far all I've built are the headers and 'file'). At this stage, the only variant of 'ar' is just plain 'ar'. The really strange thing is that 'configure' tested for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar and didn't find it, then later decided it was indeed there. Looking at the _main_ config.log, I can see configure:6295: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar configure:6324: result: no but then at the end AR='x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar' AR_FOR_TARGET='powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar' which means that when configure runs in a subdirectory it finds x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar. I don't understand how this can work, unless for some strange reason only x86_64 hosts are affected. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
