You run into the same problem i have. We look at that bug in an extremadura, ES meeting during September, but we could not find a fix for it. It seems that it could be away arround turning off multiarch support (that is done in the debian/ from source gcc) HINT: Grep for DEB_CROSS > > Have you managed to solve this in architectures other than sparc? I still have more hope than time to work on it to have that bug fixed. It is still pending for all multiarch architectures, but arm nor armel. Currently i am focusing on building infrastructure for toolchains and try to fix all these problems we have with versions in the repository. It can take a while until everything works smoothly. > One more thing that is bothering me is the "sparc:v8plus" input and > sparc:v9 output.

ABI is the one default by Debian, you could just patch, again, debian/ dir to try to change ABI, unknown problems within toolchain might appear, but i think it would be nice to give it a try. Currently, we have to think a generic way arround this part also, the focus would be supporting many different ABI for different architectures, using some diversion magic with libgcc. Help is welcome towards this PoC. > I do recall Neil saying > something about a mechanism for machine-specific tweaks in emdebian at > FOSDEM, but I don't recall the details. That is more in the rootfs land, i believe there is some docs in the web[1] and right now it is an experimental idea to support machine specific configs, IIRC. I have to warn you that it is a long road before you can run crush into a sparc machine.
