Hi, I'm attempting to build a GCC cross compiler to target embedded powerpc targets with no OS. I have a couple questions. Sorry if these have been answered before. First, why does GCC needed to be built twice -- once before, and once after building the standard library -- even if GCC is already installed on the host platform? And second, is it possible to build a GCC cross compiler without a standard library? My applications are very low level. Basically my C code just reads and writes hardware registers; it has no use for anything in stdlib.h, stdio.h, math.h, etc. I'm having a hard time finding the magic combinations of binutils, gcc, and newlib that can build without errors. I may have better luck if I can remove newlib and the second GCC build from the equation. Thanks! -Tom
