[glibc-2.3.2] install-headers fails on pt-machine.h

[Arno Schuring]

Hello all!

I was in the process of issuing a bug report, but I realized I might try
this here first, maybe I missed a configuration option. Here's the story
(I'm sorry if it's too long):

I am trying to build a cross-toolchain from i586 to sparc, using
binutils-2.14, gcc-3.3.2, and glibc-2.3.2. I have already located some
scripts (faqs, manuals) for doing this but can't seem to succeed. This one
problem appears to relate only to glibc, so I thought I'd start here. Please
redirect me if I'm wrong...

native system:
- i586-pc-linux-gnu
- binutils-2.14
- gcc-3.3.2
- glibc-2.3.2
- kernel 2.4.24


make install-headers fails when configured with linuxthreads, but succeeds
when linuxthreads are excluded.


The commands used:

##> export CC=/usr/bin/gcc ;
./glibc-2.3.2/configure --prefix=/tools --with-headers=/tools/include --hos
t=sparc-pc-linux --enable-add-ons ; export CC=

##> make cross-compiling=yes install_root=/tools prefix= install-headers
(...)
make  -C stdio-common install-headers

pt-machine.h line 59 refers to a register "%g7". However, I do not have any
knowledge of SPARC architecture, and I have no clue of how to search for a
solution myself.


When using this configure command:

##> export CC=/usr/bin/gcc ;
./glibc-2.3.2/configure --prefix=/tools --with-headers=/tools/include --hos
t=sparc-pc-linux --disable-sanity-checks ; export CC=

the same make command succeeds.


For completeness, /tools/include has been filled using the following
commands (though I don't think it matters):
##> cd linux
##> make ARCH=sparc symlinks include/linux/version.h
##> cp -r include/linux /tools/include
##> cp -r include/asm-sparc /tools/include/asm
##> cp -r include/asm-generic /tools/include/asm-generic


Am I missing something? I am new to crosscompiling, so I may have missed
something along the way.


I'd be grateful for anything that helps me past this problem (and onto the
next). Do you think it'd be a problem to start building the cross-gcc
without the linuxthreads headers?

Thanks for your time,
Arno Schuring
