I'm not quite sure. I don't see how trying it could hurt, maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Although, 2.14.90.0.1 was just released as well, you might try that, or even CVS Head, as I heard that includes last-minute mips fixes. I'm fairly new to the whole cross-compiler thing myself, and recently discovered the HOWTO mentioned in your previous mail, which I'm looking at to try and get an i686->mips cross-compiler going. For now though, my sparc->mips cross-compiler works, so it's what I'll rely on the most.

Dear Kumba, Should we try this binutils-2.13.90.0.20? We try the version binutils-2.13.90.0.18 (Debian used) and it is failed on cross-gcc step :-(
Thanks and best regards,

Oddly enough, I followed these basic steps and wound up with a working cross-compiler from sparc64 -> mipseb (Sun Blade 100 to mips big-endian). Gcc nor glibc gave me any issues.....However, when I tried the same exact steps on i686, glibc complained about libgcc not being available, among other things. It's got me baffled, but I'm not exactly complaining. Currently, it's gcc-3.2.3 (propolice patched) + glibc-2.3.2 + binutils-2.13.90.0.20, which it'll get rebuilt for the new binutils 2.14.

Dear All, I want to make a cross-compilered glibc-2.3.x and I get the source

ftp.gun.org. GCC version is 3.2.3, binutils is 2.13.2.1. The step is as following:
1. Try to build binutils 2. Try to make static GCC 3. Try to make glibc -----> Then it is failed
Is there anybody know what's going on or somebody had successfully to

the crossed glibc-2.3.x?
A host cross host compiler for linux systems is a little more involved than this :)
However, I don't know where you went wrong since you really didn't provide much in the way of information as to what you did or where it failed.
