The most basic form of crossdev does not work. It seems the most basic form of the command is untested. The reason is CROSS_KEYW_TMP keeps uninitialized. I will attach a patch which fixes this. After this patch is applied the next command builds a full toolchain for alpha: crossdev.sh --arch=alpha --vgcc=3.3.2-r2 However, when omitting the --vgcc option, gcc-3.3.2-r5 will be used which fails to bootstrap: make[2]: *** [libgcc/./unwind-dw2.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: Leaving directory `/big/portage_tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.3.2/buildboothere-alpha/gcc' make[1]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/big/portage_tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.3.2/buildboothere-alpha/gcc' make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 * InstallGccBootstrap(): Failed to compile!
