So... I've been for several days now, attempting to build a cross
compiler for an sh4-linux arch from a laptop with
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Not a Canadian cross or anything that special. just a version of gcc
that runs on my laptop and produces executables for my
hico7760(sh4-linux).
Just to make sure I've understood it right heres what I understand about
building a cross compiler.
step 1) build the binutils
step 2) get linux headers
step 3) build a mini version of gcc
step 4) build the standard libs
step 5) use them to rebuild a full version of gcc
The following details these steps as I took them (as far as I got).
* First I downloaded(and unpacked) all sources to /home/dev/src
* that means binutils-2.20,linux-2.6.35,gcc-4.5.1,glibc-2.12.1, and
because I read it was good for embedded devices(and got stuck compiling
glibc) newlib-1.18.0

* can I ignore these errors?
* I now have a mini gcc located at $tc_dir/bin/${target}-gcc , and
($tc_dir/bin being in my path) is accessible through ${target}-gcc
$ ${target}-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

* I can not however build the simplest of programs. (libs are
missing... naturally... they have not been compiled)
* the idea would then be to build glibc
$ cd ../
$ cd zglibc_build
* I decided to configure glibc to install into /home/dev/cross_glibc
so I could examine the results. I would then coppy it wherever manually
later
* this is also where I am stuck...

So the reaon this test fails is not necessarily because forced unwind
support is missing, but because crt1.o is...
I understand its gcc that tells ld where to look, so heres the output of
${target}-gcc -print-search-dirs
$ ${target}-gcc -print-search-dirs

and indeed none of these dirs include the file "crt1.o"
What do I do now? did I miss something while building gcc?
already mentioned above... gcc never successfully installed.
/bin/bash: line 3: cd: sh4-linux/libmudflap: No such file or directory
I have not built this. what is this for? does it contain crt1.o?
I hope to get to the bottom of this.
It can't honestly be that hard to build a cross compiler.
I must be doing something or other wrong.
I wait patiently (and thankfully) for your advice.
Thanks,
Max, S.
p.s. I can make available the entire output of the configure logs or
other things you may be interested in... but this email is already very
very long.
