I originally reported this on unattended-devel mailing list. I think I
finally have the patch in a usable state.
The problem, when building on an x86_64 host, linuxboot will fail at glibc
for various reasons. Mostly because the build arguments are incorrect for
cross-compiling. My build environment:
$ uname -a
Linux cn212570 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu provides GCC and G++ with capabilities to compile 32-bit code if
you install the necessary packages. (Just for reference, an incomplete
list follows...)
$ apt-get install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib ia32-libs
lib32z1-dev libsndfile1-dev
libsndfile1-dev is required for dosemu, and their configure script does
not check for it. :(
The patch adds the -m32 flag to the CC and CXX variables, and updates the
command line arguments to allow spaces within those vars. It also makes
various changes to some configure scripts. Notably glibc and libusb.
