I want to update the ARM Linux running on my RiscPC (ARM610/RISC OS
3.5/Issue 1 MB). I would like to have cross compilers for both aout and
ELF.
ELF
---
As I already have a native aout compiler I started with ELF. I have
compiled binutils2.9.1.0.19a (with appropriate patch). Setting the target
to arm-linux as it didn't like armv3-linux and it seems to have worked.
My first two questions are:
1) Am I correct in assuming it doesn't matter about the processor
type with binutils?
2) armv3 is the *right* type definition for an ARM610?
I have obtained and compiled egcs1.1.1 setting the target to armv3-linux
and compiling the first stage. Ie LANGUAGES="c". Again I think this
worked as compiling to an assembler source does indeed generate ARM code.
Am I doing this right?
I have also obtained the sources from cygnus of glibc2.0.111 and tried
compiling it with the target set to armv3-linux. It seems to break in the
middle of compilation. The output is below...
mkdir /usr/src/glibc-build/csu
mkdir /usr/src/glibc-build/gnu

file or directory

What have I done wrong? The kernel sources are a late version 2.1
kernel. I have a log of the make output if that helps.
aout
----
binutils successfully compiled with arm-linux-aout as the target as did
egcs. Neither of them liked armv3-linux-aout. What target processor have
I actually built these for. What do I do about libraries. Sources for
libc4 are not on the ARM Linux web site.
Kernels et al
-------------
Am I right in thinking that the 2.0 kernels are broken wrt ELF for the
ARM? I do have the sources to 2.2.1 and patch sitting on my sun at work
waiting for me to blow a CD. What is the best kernel to use for an ELF
system. What other tools do I need to build to get an aout/ELF hybrid
system up and running.
Many thanks
Melanie
