Using --disable-shared on the stage 1 is how I am building tools. I have never built glibc 2.16 only more recent versions but this has worked for me. There are a couple of things turned off in my normal build script. You didn't say which part of glibc failed to build? For glibc my build script disables: "--disable-profile" "--without-gd" "--without-cvs" I've long since forgotten why these options were put in though I'm afraid. > > And then, when I build glibc using the previous gcc-bootstrap with the following command, > it get a error message: > > $PRJROOT/source/glibc-2.16.0/configure \ > --host=$TARGET \ > --build=$($PRJROOT/source/glibc-2.16.0/scripts/config.guess) \ > --prefix=$PREFIX \ > --with-headers=$TARGET_PREFIX/include \ > --with-binutils=$TARGET_PREFIX/bin \ > --enable-add-ons \ > --with-tls \ > --disable-profile \ > libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes \ > libc_cv_ctors_header=yes \ > libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes > The glibc error message is: > > .../tools/mips-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status > As shown above, the gcc-bootstrap compilation with configuration --enable-shared in order > to build libgcc_s.so needs the file such as crti.o and crtn.o that glibc builds.

I'm not sure I've been much use as these chicken and egg problems drive me crazy for ages then I solve them and promptly forget how. Matthew
