Hi, What is the correct way of cross-compiling a non-pic static glibc? I thought something like, env CC="mips64-linux-gnu-gcc -mabi=n32 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mips4" ../glibc-src/configure --host=mips64-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2 --prefix=/usr --with-headers=/mips64-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/include/ --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --without-cvs --with-fp --disable-shared and 'make' will do it, but it fails with, make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alex/projects/glibc-src/iconv' /opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/bin/mips64-linux-gnu-gcc -mabi=n32 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mips4 -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/iconv/iconvconfig /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/csu/crt1.o /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/csu/crti.o `/opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/bin/mips64-linux-gnu-gcc -mabi=n32 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mips4 --print-file-name=crtbegin.o` /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/iconv/iconvconfig.o /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/iconv/strtab.o /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/iconv/xmalloc.o /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/libc.a -lgcc /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/libc.a -lgcc `/opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/bin/mips64-linux-gnu-gcc -mabi=n32 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mips4 --print-file-name=crtend.o` /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/csu/crtn.o /opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/lib/gcc-lib/mips64-linux-gnu/3.3-mips64linux-031001/../../../../mips64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/lib/gcc-lib/mips64-linux-gnu/3.3-mips64linux-031001/32/crtbegin.o: warning: linking PIC files with non-PIC files /opt/redhat/mips64linux-031001/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.2/lib/gcc-lib/mips64-linux-gnu/3.3-mips64linux-031001/../../../../mips64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /home/alex/projects/glibc-build/iconv/iconvconfig.o: warning: linking PIC files with non-PIC files Just in case, I am trying to build glibc-2.3.1 with a gcc 3.3 based toolchain.
