The build infrastructure is confused about where to use target
tools and
where to use build/host tools.
Yeah, you're right. All of the .o files in libiberty.a are i386-elf
and not ARM.
Here's the configure statement I used:
../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/usr
--enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.1.3 --program-suffix=-4.1
--enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug
--enable-checking=release arm-linux-gnu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is an ancient and obsolete way of writing --target=arm-linux-gnu.
I'm not sure if it's the cause of your problem or not, but you should
definitely spell out --target and not just give a target triplet as a
naked parameter.
Tried that and it is still building libiberty as i386 and trying to
link it together with ARM files.
Any clue what would cause this?
