Hi all, I got trouble with compiling mipsel gnu toolchains. Basicly, i downloaded all the required source code to build a cross compiling toolchains for MIPS binutils-2.13.90.0.10.tar.gz gcc-3.2.tar.gz glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5.tar.gz glibc-2.2.5-mips-build-gmon.diff the building process went fine, i can compile kernel and sereral packages, However, when I compile zlib package with the toolchain, it complaint that can not reference to i_am_not_a_leaf. Do a search on runtime library, there is no such thing but clearly, this external variable is declared in glibc csu/initfini.c. The mipsel-linux-gcc remove this dummy variable somehow. Now, i compile glibc using sdelinux-mipsel from MIPS site. This compiler keeps the variable reference in the object file. So end up I have to use glibc compiled by sdelinux and gnu-gcc from gnu, a problem with this is mipsel-linux-strip can't strip library linked by sdelinux linkder. Anyone got any ideas why?
