I'm trying to build glibc-2.2.5 with gcc-core-2.95.3. If I set CFLAGS to include "-msoft-float" before the configure, then the build breaks quickly with a "glibc cannot be compiled without optimization" error.
My guess is that this overrides the default CFLAGS which contains optimization flags. But I can't decipher what's going on to figure out how to just _append_ to the CFLAGS. If I could just make the compiler default to -msoft-float or -mcpu=403, I wouldn't need this. I did compile gcc using "--with-cpu=403 --nfp" but this doesn't seem to affect the default (checked by running "powerpc-linux-gcc -v test.c"). If either -msoft-float or -mcpu=403 are specified, the -D_SOFT_FLOAT_ does get set correctly. Darin Johnson ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
