Problems Building ARM LINUX

[Marcello Giustiniani]

Hi Folks , I need to build ARM C cross-compiler and Linux Kernel on my Host ( Pentium PC ). I have Linux 2.2.14 with Red Hat 6.2 I follow the instructions at www.bluewaternz.com/startoff/armlinux.htm (with some changes ) I have gcc 2.95.2 and ld 2.95.2 Step 1 Installation of binutils 2.9.5.0.22 OK Step 2 Building of EGCS C compiler I use: linux-2.2.2.tar.gz egcs-1.1.2.tar.gz egcs-1.1.2-arm-diff-990325 It work. OK. Step 3 Building the GLIBC Library Apply the patch-2.2.2-rmk5 to the kernel source 2.2.2 Build the kernel Image OK Unzip GLIBC libraries glibc-2.1.2.tar.gz glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.1.tar.gz glibc-crypt-2.0.111.tar.gz     I configure with CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure arm-linux --build =i586-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/arm/glibc/arm-linux-glibc --enable-add-ons --with-headers=/home/arm/linux-2.2.2/linux/include I run make. It work for al lot of time but FAIL !!   arm-linux-gcc -shared -Wl,-O1 -o libdb1.so -Wl,-dynamic-linker=/home/arm/glibc/arm-linux-glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -B../csu/ -Wl,-soname=libdb1.so.2 -Wl,-soname=libdb.so.2 -L.. -L../math -L../elf -L../nss -L../nis -L../db2 -L../rt -L../resolv -L../linuxthreads -Wl,-rpath-link=..:../math:../elf:../nss:../nis:../db2:../rt:../resolv:../linuxthreads -Wl,--whole-archive libdb1_pic.a ../elf/interp.os ../libc.so /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(__dummy.o): In function `__dummy': __dummy.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__dummy' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(__dummy.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(__gcc_bcmp.o): In function `__gcc_bcmp': __gcc_bcmp.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__gcc_bcmp' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(__gcc_bcmp.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_ashldi3.o): In function `__ashldi3': _ashldi3.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__ashldi3' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_ashldi3.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_ashrdi3.o): In function `__ashrdi3': _ashrdi3.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__ashrdi3' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_ashrdi3.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_clear_cache.o): In function `__clear_cache': _clear_cache.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__clear_cache' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_clear_cache.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_cmpdi2.o): In function `__cmpdi2': _cmpdi2.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__cmpdi2' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_cmpdi2.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_divdi3.o): In function `__divdi3': _divdi3.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__divdi3' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_divdi3.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_divsi3.o): In function `__divsi3': _divsi3.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__divsi3'   AND OTHERS .....   _varargs.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__builtin_saveregs' /home/arm/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libgcc.a(_varargs.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libdb1.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arm/armbuild/glibc-2.1.2/db' any suggestions ? anyone has a combination of kernel source/ gcc / patches that works ???
