Hello, I'm trying to build gcc-4.2.2 as cross compiler for target=sh-linux and get the configure error message for libiberty: "checking for library containing strerror... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES." I configured & build binutils 2.18 with this options: ../binutils-2.18/configure --prefix=/home/lfel/gnu-sh/ --target=sh-linux --with-newlib --disable-nls make make install So far, no problem, for gcc I used: ../gcc-4.2.2/configure --prefix=/home/lfel/gnu-sh/ --target=sh-linux --without-headers --enable-languages="c" --disable-shared --disable-threads --disable-libssp I modified "gcc-4.2.2/gcc/config/sh/linux-unwind.h" because it includes signal.h, which isn't there (--without-headers option passed to configure, so why is it looking for signal.h?) I had to disable libmudflap and libssp. Now I get the following error message when building libiberty: [....] checking for a 64-bit type... unsigned long long checking for pid_t... no 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/lfel/gnu-sh/obj-gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 now, I can read config.log in libiberty, but now...? I admit, I don't grasp how autoconf/configure works in detail, but the manual is just huge, any chaper I should read? Can someone explain what "Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES" means? Host is: Linux g-linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux best regards, Gerard
