I try to compile gcc 10.1.0 for target avr. If fails with: make[2]: Entering directory '/home/krud/git_my_checkout/first/own_components/gcc_install/gcc/gcc-10.1.0/build/gcc' g++ -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -W -Wall -Wno-narrowing -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wno-error=format-diag -Wmissing-format-attribute -Woverloaded-virtual -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -fno-PIE -I. -Ibuild -I../../gcc -I../../gcc/build -I../../gcc/../include -I../../gcc/../libcpp/include \ -o build/genmodes.o ../../gcc/genmodes.c /opt/avr_10.1.0/avr/bin/as: unrecognized option '--64' As I see it tries to use gcc to compile and link with avr-as which is wrong. What did I wrong? I simply do make binutils make gcc with the following makefile PREFIX=/opt VERSION_BINUTILS=2.34 VERSION_GCC=10.1.0 GCC_DOWNLOAD_SUBDIR=gcc-10.1.0 MPC_VERSION=1.0.3 MPFR_VERSION=3.1.4 GMP_VERSION=6.1.0 binutils: mkdir binutils ( cd binutils; \ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.34.tar.xz; \ tar xf binutils-2.34.tar.xz ; \ cd binutils-2.34 ; \ mkdir build ; \ cd build ; \ ../configure --target=avr --prefix=$(PREFIX)/avr_$(VERSION_GCC) ;\ make -j8 ; \ sudo make install ; \ ) gcc: mkdir gcc ( cd gcc; \ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/$(GCC_DOWNLOAD_SUBDIR)/gcc-$(VERSION_GCC).tar.xz ; \ tar xf gcc-$(VERSION_GCC).tar.xz ; \ cd gcc-$(VERSION_GCC)/ ; \ wget https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/mpc-$(MPC_VERSION).tar.gz ; \ tar xf mpc-$(MPC_VERSION).tar.gz ; \ mv mpc-$(MPC_VERSION) ./mpc ; \ wget https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/mpfr-$(MPFR_VERSION).tar.bz2 ; \ tar xf mpfr-$(MPFR_VERSION).tar.bz2 ; \ mv mpfr-$(MPFR_VERSION) ./mpfr ; \ wget https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/gmp-$(GMP_VERSION).tar.bz2 ; \ tar xf gmp-$(GMP_VERSION).tar.bz2 ; \ mv gmp-$(GMP_VERSION) ./gmp ; \ mkdir build ; \ cd build ; \ ../configure --prefix=$(PREFIX)/avr_$(VERSION_GCC) --target=avr --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-lto --disable-nls --disable-libssp ; \ make -j8 ; \ sudo make install ; \ )
