Hi,
I encountered the following error while building a cross compiler for
ia64-linux-elf on my x86 ubuntu.
Checking multilib configuration for libiberty...
Configuring in ia64-linux-elf/libiberty
configure: loading cache ./config.cache
... [lot of configure output] ...
checking for pid_t... yes
checking for library containing strerror... configure: error: Link tests are
not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/knight/build/gcc-4.2.1/ia64-linux-elf'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I'd built a ia64-linux-elf binutils-2.18, and have the ia64 libc 2.6 in
sysroot. A bit of googling and I was able to run the failing configure command
responsible for setting GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. The output of that is pasted
below. It seems that the driver program is passing '-dn -N so' option to ld,
where it thinks 'so' is a file. If I'm right this option is needed for intel
linkers? (I did check that my ia64-linux-elf-ld is able to generate exe-s)
Any help or pointers on what I did wrong would be appreciated. Please tell if
more info is needed. Thnx!
