Hi, Brad: Thanks for your information. I download: binutils v2.13.90.0.10 (H.J. Lu) GCC v3.2-7.1 (H.J. Lu) glibc v2.2.5 glibc-linuxthreads v2.2.5 and follow your build note to build a big-endian mips cross-compiler. As I build the binutil-2.13.90.10, it is o.k. However, as I build the gcc (1st), I get the error message: make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lineo/xcompiler/mips-gcc-3.2.7/libiberty' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lineo/xcompiler/mips-gcc-3.2.7/gcc' gcc -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -o gengenrtl \ gengenrtl.o ../libiberty/libiberty.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [gengenrtl] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lineo/xcompiler/mips-gcc-3.2.7/gcc' make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 Do I miss something? Since I download the gcc3.2-7.1.src.rpm (only srpm format), I use rpm --rebuild gcc3.2-7.1.src.rpm then I got gcc-3.2-20020903.tar.bz2 and many patch files. I umcompress the gcc-3.2-20020903.tar.bz2 using the command tar -xvIf gcc-3.2-20020903.tar.bz2 ==>I get the gcc-3.2-20020903. Questions: Do I need to patch all the patch files? If so, how can I patch all of them? or is the tarball pached? Regarding to the error message, is it caused by missing some patch files? How can I fix this problem? Thanks.

It sounds like you used the standard binutils. You should probably use H.J. Lu's binutils (they have some MIPS patches applied), and also his gcc (same story). They're available at: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/ ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/redhat/7.3/test/ > When I build the C cross-compiler, I use the "dubious hack" > --with-headers=/usr/include copy the "MIPS host header files". Are there > any other ways to copy the MIPS-host headers? I never understood why anyone would use this method. If you're building a mips-linux cross-compiler, you should have a copy of the Linux kernel source from linux-mips.org lying around somewhere (or are you using a pre-compiled kernel image?). Just copy the include directory from this source to a convenient location, symbolically link asm to asm-mips and point the gcc configure to it. I've included below my personal build notes from a mipsel (little-endian) cross-toolchain I built a couple months ago. Hopefully these will be helpful. Note that I chose /opt/toolchains/mips for the installed path, rather than /usr/local. My build system was SuSE 7.2 (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) and binutils version 2.10.91). Also, you don't mention applying the glibc-2.2.5-mips-build-gmon.diff patch that Brad LaRonde recommends. If you didn't apply this patch, you might also want to do that. Brad ----------------Build Notes------------------------------------ I relied primarily on Steven J. Hill's build script [SJH], but with several adjustments. H.J. Lu says only his binutils will work: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/ I got the latest version. H.J. Lu also says to use his gcc 3.2. This is available only in source rpm format, at: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/redhat/7.3/test/ Glibc came from the standard location: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ *Except*...patched with "glibc-2.2.5-mips-build-gmon.diff" from [BDL2.4]. This source also recommends the "-finline-limit=10000" CFLAG value (claims ld.so won't work without it, and this seems to be true). Tool versions: Binutils v2.13.90.0.10 (H.J. Lu) GCC v3.2 (H.J.
