So I have an x86 box, and I wanted to build a cross-compiler for powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu so I could use distcc from my PowerBook, also running Gentoo. I ran: crossdev --g 3.4.5 -s4 --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu binutils, gcc-stage1, and linux-headers compile and install cleanly. glibc fails during configure with: checking for .machine support... no configure: error: *** A binutils version which can handle *** .machine "altivec" *** is needed. !!! ERROR: cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.3.6-r3 failed.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Created attachment 82064 [details] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-info.log Not sure if this is useful, but here's the crossdev info log as well.
what version of gcc-config do you have ? do you have eselect-compiler installed ?
gcc-config is 1.3.13-r1. Not using eselect-compiler. On a side note, I have two other boxes, a laptop and an HTPC/PVR, both running Gentoo, reasonably up-to-date, both x86. Last night I tried the same crossdev command on both boxes. On the laptop, everything succeeded, and on the HTPC, it failed, but with a different error (the HTPC tried to compile glibc 2.4 instead for some reason). I'll try and dig into the differences later. For now, emerge --info on my laptop (the box that worked) is below. Maybe you can identify something different that rings a bell.

Some more info. On my laptop (crossdev successful), I have these versions: [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils-2.16.1-r1 [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.5 [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.11-r4 [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.3.6-r2 On my desktop (crossdev failed), I have these: [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils-2.16.1-r2 [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.5 [ebuild R ] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.11-r4 On the desktop, it tries to install glibc-2.3.6-r3. If I try to force 2.3.6-r2, I get the same error. Next let's try downgrading binutils to 2.16.1-r1. Nope, no good.
please sync up and make sure you have the latest gcc-config/binutils-config scripts then run: crossdev -C powerpc crossdev --g 3.4.5 -s4 --target powerpc ive fixed some bugs related to automatically running of gcc-config/binutils-config that could have caused this
Created attachment 84348 [details] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-glibc.log Fails with a new error now. linux-headers for ppc are indeed installed.
Created attachment 84349 [details] cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-linux-headers.log Here's the log from the linux-headers crossdev install. Seems like the headers are being installed to /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/include, which looks a little odd to me (maybe not).
reopening...
