I tried this (with 2.23.1) and found a bug - --target in configure is set to 'sparc' rasther than sparc-linux-gnu which means it builds for sparc-sunos. This may well be due to my modifications for DEB_TARGET_ARCH so I've fixed that and will submit an updated patch. that built OK, but yes there are no ldscripts/* files in there. > However trying to assemble and link for a sun4 system (-m sun4 > argument to sparc-linux-gnu-ld ), results in a error that > ldscripts/sun4.x is not found. > Indeed the cross build process does not install the ldscripts into the > deb package, even though the are generated and can be found in the > builddir-sparc-linux-gnu directory. I just read this a bit more carefully, and realised that I missed an important point. You want to target sunos rather than sparc-linux-gnu? Can one expect that to work using a binutils built for linux (i.e the ABI stuff is all the same, only the linkage changes?) I wouldn't expect that to work without building a binutils specifically targeting sparc-sun-sunos4.1 (or something like that - I don't know which rune is right ) dpkg-architecture -L list a lot of architectures/ABIs there is solaris and opensolaris, but not sunos. Is one of those right? The debian packaging primarily aims at building cross-toolchains suitable for building packages for debian architectures. If they also build other stuff then that's cool, but it's a bonus, and not necessarily tested.
