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.

I use TARGET=sparc dpkg-buildpackage the binary-cross target now says: "Please use dpkg-buildpackage instead of calling binary-cross directly; see README.cross" That's true in the 2.22 ansd 2.23 I have to hand. Appraently there have been changes here since squeeze. It probably amounts to the same thing, but I'd check and see if that makes any difference for you. I've never tested a sparc build in my life, but I do know that the cross-build packaging for binutils is generally in good shape and works well for armhf/armel/arm64 > 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. > > Is this a bug or feature ?

The sparc packaging has probably just got bit-rot because it's not being used much, but if you are lucky it's because you are using an outdated build rune. BTW I have submitted a bug to normalise these cross-runes between packages (so we don't have 'TARGET' for binutils and 'GCC_TARGET' for gcc. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695595 so at some point the official build runes should become: DEB_TARGET_ARCH= dpkg-buildpackage -b Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
