Hi, I am trying to configure gcc for compiling some c,cpp and fortran sources to x86_64 on my x86 machine using the following steps: 1. Binutils-2.17 configuration and installation: $../binutils-2.17/configure --target=x86_64-pc-linux --prefix=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/ $ ... $ make all install 2. After successful completion of step 1, gcc configuration and installation: $ export PATH=$PATH:/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/bin/ $ ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --target=x86_64-pc-linux --prefix=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/ --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-tls --enable-languages=c --with-newlib $ make all-gcc $ make install-gcc 3. After this, I proceeded with glibc, as I think one needs to have appropriate library support as well, to support cross compilation. So, I cnfigured and installed the glibc-2.5 $ ../glibc-2.5/configure --prefix=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/ --host=x86_64-pc-linux --build=i686-redhat-linux --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --disable-sanity-checks --with-headers=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/linux-2.6.19.1/include --with-tls --with-__thread --with-binutils=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/bin/ $ make all install 4. Till step 3 it works fine, and now I can generate x86_64 executables using gcc. But moving further, i need g++ and gfortran as well. To build these i used the same command as before (the PATH remaining the same)- $ ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --target=x86_64-pc-linux --prefix=/users/scratch/ibhagat/x86_64-exp/x86_64_prefix-II/ --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-tls --enable-languages=c++ I get the following error : checking float.h usability... no checking float.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: float.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: float.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: float.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: float.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: float.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: float.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ----------------------------------------- ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the package-unused lists. ## configure: WARNING: ## ----------------------------------------- ## checking for float.h... yes checking for endian.h...

Can somebody help me out here? I am not able to build g++, and gfortran to cross-compile for x86_64. I am attaching the config.log from x86_64-pc-linux/libstdc++-v3/ directory. Thanks in advance, Indu Bhagat
