Hi,

i am trying to set up a system on a NSLU2 (XScale-based System) arm-softfloat. I used a normal stage3 tarball. Now i am trying to update the System.

upgrade your toolchain, 3.4.6 works fine for me

[Comment 4 Christian Reiser 2006-11-13 06:38:06 UTC]

Could you please provide me with an information, how to upgrade the toolchain? There are several manuals stating, that i need to execute "emerge -e system" twice. But this command fails when trying to upgrade zlib.
The other way would be to upgrade binutils, coreutils, uclibc and gcc. Unfortunately uclibc fails to upgrade - i will file a bug soon.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2006-11-13 11:44:03 UTC]

i really have no idea what "manuals" you're referring to as none state that

just upgrade your gcc to 3.4.6

[Comment 6 Christian Reiser 2006-11-13 13:53:43 UTC]

Okay - i upgraded uclibc and now zlib also compiles. Thanks a lot for your help.
