Bug 235489 – sys-devel/crossdev - crossdev -t arm-elf fails on newlib-headers

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jason B. Alonso 2008-08-22 22:27:17 UTC]

crossdev -t arm-elf succeeds on building binutils, but then fails to build newlib-headers.

Inspection of the error indicates that newlib-headers wants arm-elf-cc (which is not yet compiled).  I attempted to circumnavigate the problem by emerging cross-arm-elf/gcc, but it fails as well, apparently on a lack of header files.  As such, this looks kinda like a chicken-and-egg problem.

I'm still experimenting with ways to get arm-elf-cc built before newlib-headers, but methinks "crossdev -t arm-elf" should DTRT (ergo a bug report).

Logs to be attached.

crossdev report of -t arm-elf configuration

The astute reader will notice that crossdev is working out of one of my layman overlays.  It's annoying (and I've fixed it since the logging), but it should be inconsequential to the bug.
