Hi, I successfully built a cross compiler to i386-pc-solaris2.9 target from a linux host. gcc 3.4.2 or 3.4.3, binutils 2.15. When I try the same configure and build on a solaris 2.8 sparc host the compile of gcrt1.s fails: sed -e '/^!/d' </u/nomura/dl/gcc-3.4.2/gcc/config/i386/sol2-gc1.asm >gcrt1.s sparc-sun-solaris2.8-as -o gcrt1.o gcrt1.s /bin/sh /u/nomura/dl/gcc-3.4.2/gcc/move-if-change tmp-mlib.h multilib.h echo "NULL};" >> tmp-gtyp.h echo "static const char *const all_files[] = {" >> tmp-gtyp.h gcrt1.s: Assembler messages: gcrt1.s:13: Error: Unknown opcode: `pushl' gcrt1.s:14: Error: Unknown opcode: `pushl' gcrt1.s:15: Error: Illegal operands gcrt1.s:18: Error: Unknown opcode: `pushl' gcrt1.s:21: Error: Illegal operands gcrt1.s:22: Error: Unknown opcode: `testl' gcrt1.s:23: Error: Unknown opcode: `je' gcrt1.s:24: Error: Unknown opcode: `pushl' I.e. it's trying to use the local assembler instead of the cross assembler. Cross binutils 2.15 has been built and installed in the prefix dir. On solaris (fails): # /u/nomura/dl/gcc-3.4.2/configure --target=i386-pc-solaris2.9 --prefix=/x/sim/nomura/root.solaris/i386-pc-solaris2.9-gcc-3.4.2 --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-sysroot=/x/sim/nomura/root.solaris/i386-pc-solaris2.9-gcc-3.4.2/sysroot --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld On linux (succcessful): # /u/nomura/dl/gcc-3.4.2/configure --target=i386-pc-solaris2.9 --prefix=/x/sim/nomura/root.linux/i386-pc-solaris2.9-gcc-3.4.2 --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-sysroot=/x/sim/nomura/root.linux/i386-pc-solaris2.9-gcc-3.4.2/sysroot --with-gnu- as --with-gnu-ld Since these look the same I suppose it is something else in the environment. Thanks in advance for any tips. Kevin Nomura Network Appliance
