Using crossdev-0.19 with '-S -s1 --gcc 3.3.6-r1' to build toolchain for arm-linux-uclibc on x86 host fails when building gcc stage 1 (see attached log). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. crossdev -S -s1 --gcc 3.3.6-r1 arm-linux-uclibc 2. 3. Actual Results: Output from crossdev: ericisko ~ # crossdev -S -s1 --gcc 3.3.6-r1 arm-linux-uclibc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Host Portage ARCH: x86 * Target Portage ARCH: arm * Target System: arm-linux-uclibc * Stage: 1 (C compiler only) * binutils: binutils-[stable] * gcc: gcc-3.3.6-r1 * PORTDIR_OVERLAY: /usr/portage/local * PORT_LOGDIR: /var/log/portage * PKGDIR: /usr/portage/packages/cross/arm-linux-uclibc * PORTAGE_TMPDIR: /media/cross/arm-linux-uclibc _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - ~ - _ - * Using sys-devel/binutils from /usr/portage/local instead of /usr/portage * Forcing the latest versions of {binutils,gcc}-config/gnuconfig ...

The issue seems to be that 'xgcc' (built as part of gcc build) fails to find cross-compiled binutils: ./xgcc -print-prog-name=as returns 'as' instead of '/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/as' Forcing '/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/' directory to 'exec_prefixes' list in gcc.c resolves the issue (see attached patch) - I know this is not the correct way to fix the issue, it's just to show that once 'xgcc' finds cross-binutils, gcc stage1 build will finish.

gcc-3.3 isnt supported anymore for uclibc. just use gcc-3.4. if you do find the real root cause and post a patch, i'll consider it though ...

It was sort of 'proof of concept'.

As GCC cannot find e.g. 'as' anywhere in its search path, it will use 'as' as assembler command and the system's native assembler is used. GCC 4.1.2 has '/usr/libexec/gcc' prefix in the list of exec_prefixes compiled in (see gcc/gcc.c). Below is patch that will add '/usr/libexec/gcc' to exec_prefixes. It cross-compiled for arm-linux-uclibc successfully and I was able to compile code that ran on ARM. However, I compiled only stage 1 compiler (C only, no C++). Running 'arm-linux-uclibc-gcc -print-search-dirs' gives the output: install: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/ programs: =/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/:/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/:/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/../../../../arm-linux-uclibc/bin/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/../../../../arm-linux-uclibc/bin/ libraries: =/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/../../../../arm-linux-uclibc/lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/../../../../arm-linux-uclibc/lib/:/usr/arm-linux-uclibc/lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/arm-linux-uclibc/lib/:/usr/arm-linux-uclibc/usr/lib/arm-linux-uclibc/3.3.6/:/usr/arm-linux-uclibc/usr/lib/ Notice '/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/' directory in the list.
