I've run into a bootstrapping issue which I'd like to solve "the right way", instead of continuing to hack around it.
Briefly: I can't build glibc without libgcc_eh.a, which is provided by gcc. However, libgcc_eh.a is not built, unless I configure gcc with --enable-shared. But doing so causes gcc to attempt to build libgcc_s.so, which fails because it wants to link to libc.so, which hasn't been built yet. And so it goes.... The "obvious" fix, to me, is to change the libgcc/Makefile.in to always build libgcc_eh.a (and install it) Would such a patch be acceptable? BTW, this is for the "hexagon" architecture, being cross-built. Perhaps there's some other work-around that I missed... (our current work-around is to build uClibc first, install that, and then finish building gcc, then build glibc. Seems pretty yucky to me.) --linas
