Bug 73020 – crossdev-0.4-r1 cannot build for MIPS target

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Stuart Shelton 2004-12-01 05:15:01 UTC]

I'm using the crossdev script to build a MIPS environment.  I have to use the "unstable" option, because without this crossdev reports that there is no suitable version of binutils (is this a bug in itself?)

With the unstable option, it wants to build the following:

        sys-kernel/mips-headers-2.6.8.1
        sys-devel/binutils-2.15.91.0.2
        sys-devel/gcc-3.4.3
        sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102

... however, no matter what Host CFLAGS or Target options I choose, I always hit the following error whilst building gcc:

/var/tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.4.3/buildboothere-mips/gcc/xgcc -B/var/tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.4.3/buildboothere-mips/gcc/ -B/home/crossdev/mips/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/home/crossdev/mips/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /home/crossdev/mips/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/include -isystem /home/crossdev/mips/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include -O2  -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE   -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition  -isystem ./include  -fPIC -DHAVE_SYSLOG -g  -DIN_LIBGCC2 -D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED  -D_LIBC_PROVIDES_SSP_ -I. -I. -I../../gcc -I../../gcc/. -I../../gcc/../include  -fexceptions -c ../../gcc/unwind-dw2-fde-glibc.c -o libgcc/./unwind-dw2-fde-glibc.o

 * InstallGccBootstrap(): Failed to compile!

Any thoughts?  Would forcing different toolchain versions help - and if so, which are the best choices?

<=crossdev-0.4 is no longer supported ... please upgrade to crossdev-0.9 and if
you're still having problems, re-open the bug and re-assign to [e-mail]
