I'm attempting to build an ia64-linux cross compiler on an x86 linux machine using GCC 4.4.2, and running into some troubles. I'm only attempting to build gcc itself to generate ia64 assembly, I don't need to assemble and link. Seems that build/genmodes is not being generated. I have searched around online for information pertaining to this, but have not found a conclusive answer yet. Any help would be appreciated! :) $ ../gcc-4.4.2/gcc/configure --disable-libssp --prefix=${PWD}../out_gcc --target=ia64-gnu-linux checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... ia64-gnu-linux-gnu checking LIBRARY_PATH variable... ok checking GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable... ok checking whether to place generated files in the source directory... no checking whether a default linker was specified... no checking whether a default assembler was specified... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes checking for gnatbind... gnatbind checking for gnatmake... gnatmake checking whether compiler driver understands Ada... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for egrep... grep -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/stat.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes checking for memory.h... yes checking for strings.h... yes checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking minix/config.h usability... no checking minix/config.h presence... no checking for minix/config.h... no checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for inline... inline checking for void *... yes checking size of void *... 4 checking for short... yes checking size of short... 2 checking for int... yes checking size of int... 4 checking for long... yes checking size of long... 4 checking for long long... yes checking for long long...
