I am trying to use my Linux box (Debian, AMD64) as a host to cross-compile for the AIX 5.3 platform.
I have successfully built and installed the cross-binutils, but I am stuck when it comes to building, well more precisely, installing the first-stage gcc.
What on earth "first stage gcc"?
make gcc-all
Probably you meaned 'make all-gcc', which produces only the stuff in
'gcc'.... For a normal crosscompiler with a pre-existing
C library the plain 'make' is the command...
works fine, so I'd assume I got all the necessary headers any anything else I need.
You will require also the AIX 5.3 target libraries, the headers aren't
enough!
But when I then try to do a
make gcc-install
Again some typo, 'make install-gcc' sounds more probable...
it tries to install libgcc_s.a, which does not exist.
If it couldn't be produced, it doesn't exist ! That it couldn't be
produced is the real problem...
Searching the archives, I found that that lib seems to be called libgcc_eh.a now, and that file *is* there. But might the install routine have just missed the renaming?
No, there should be that 'shared' library!
I am using GCC 4.2.1.
I tried your 'rs6000-ibm-aix5.3' target "just for a fun" with
binutils-2.17.50.0.16 and gcc-4.2.2 but without the
AIX5.3 C library - is it freely available somewhere? The build
succeeded as long as :

As can be seen the '/usr/lib/libc.a' is tried to be linked in order to
create the 'shr.o' and then
the 'tmp-libgcc_s.a' from it with 'ar' and finally rename this to
'libgcc_s.a'...
Any ideas are very welcome.
Just try a 'make > LogFile 2>&1' and then look at the 'LogFile' and
where it failed and why!
