Per advice I noted that was indeed using binutils-2.10 and dropped back to binutils-2.9.1. I realize that this is different from the recommended binutils-2.9.5, but I'm not sure where to get that. glibc did finally compile w/o complaining about __libc_global_ctors being undefined. However when I try to *use* the cross-compiler:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /gnome-source/xc/config/imake $ /hurd-cross/bin/i586-pc-gnu-gcc -o imake -O2 -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith imake.o -L/X11R6/lib -Wl,-dynamic-linker=/hurd-cross/i586-pc-gnu/lib/libc-2.1.2.so -Wl,-rpath=/lib:/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath-link=../../exports/lib /lib/ld.so.1: undefined reference to `__libc_global_ctors' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [EMAIL PROTECTED] /gnome-source/xc/config/imake $ This also occurs if -dynamic-linker=/lib/ld.so.1 (which is what "make World" defaulted to using). My cross-compiler, gnu target glibc, etc are stored in the prefix /hurd-cross instead of /usr/local, but that shouldn't affect anything as I've modified all the instructions, should it? I'm not entirely clear on how cross-compilation works, and where it has to invoke particular local/target libraries. For example, here its invoking ld.so.1 which is local to my linux system. Is this wrong? Do I need to add something to my include path? It looks like ...ctors is defined in GCC, and using nm I'm able to find the symbol in the compiled library. This is all very mysterious to me! -Seth
