Hi All, I tried to build cross compiler on Red Hat Linux Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686. I use binutils-2.13, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.2.5, glibc-2.2.5-mips-build-gmon.diff, glibc-linuxthreads.tar.gz. I followed the instructions from http://www.ltc.com/~brad/mips/mipsel-linux-cross-toolchain-building.txt I installed binutils without any problems. While compiling glibc2.2.5 I get the following error. ../sysdeps/unix/syscall.S: Assembler messages: ../sysdeps/unix/syscall.S:28: Error: absolute expression required `li' make[2]: *** [/home/iilangov/crossGCC/mips/mips-glibc/misc/syscall.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/iilangov/crossGCC/mips/glibc-2.2.5/misc' make[1]: *** [misc/subdir_lib] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/iilangov/crossGCC/mips/glibc-2.2.5' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have "asm/unistd.h" in the include path, still this problem is happening. Do you guys have any clue ? Thanks in Advance !
