Hi Folks, many thanks for the answers you gave. Unfortunately it showed on Dan Kegels website that all cross compiling for sparc64 is marked as "red" -> so I keep being stuck with what I have right now. I would like to "simply" build a compiler for the kernel on my old U60@xxxxxxx (do not tell me that Debian is up and running, I know, this is for educational purposes) and had had thought about a way how to do it - since it works on Debian and Gentoo and .... there should be a way to build the compiler on SuSE, too. The old egcs that came with SuSE is generating crappy code for the kernel, so I would like to upgrade. If anyone has any more pointers to hints to whatsoever - I'd be very happy for any recommendation on how to get started. Thanks again, take care Dieter Jurzitza ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Subject: Re: Question on cross-compiler Date: Mittwoch, 10.
