Yes, well, that brings us back to the initial question on the first
posting - which was how to get a cross gas for hppa-hpux, and had
anybody done this before...
Interestingly during the configure process this is emitted:
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
ld
(Any other directories should still work fine.)
<snip>
So, that brings us back to the initial question. Has anybody
patched (probably / at least) bfd/target.c and bfd/som.c to work with
this?
Sadly, we may have to use a commercial product to solve this
particular cross problem... I'm hoping that this is not the case. If
anybody monitoring this list has any additional suggestions / pointers
I would appreciate hearing them.
TIA,
David
