Hi, Another problem when cross building the native mips compiler. I.e. build=x86, host=target=mipsel I have done some search, but haven't found any related discussion.
The install path of libgcc contains gcc version. Currently in libgcc/Makefile.in, gcc version is get like this: version := $(shell $(CC) -dumpversion) This will lead to a problem that I have only experienced when cross building the native compiler. The problem is that crtbegin.o/crtend.o/etc. will be installed into old gcc's path, overwrite existing ones. New gcc will have no crtbegin.o... There is no problem when natively building native compiler. I don't understand why the problem only happens when cross building native compiler. I know I need to study how gcc is built. Just want make you aware of this problem. And I have a suggestion to this problem. I have observed that in other components, the version is get like this: version := $(shell cat $(srcdir)/../gcc/BASE-VER) So what about we do the same in libgcc/Makefile.in? Because this can ensure that the install dir will be new gcc's path. If this is ok, I will post a little patch. Zhang Le
