Automated arm-linux-gcc and powerpc-linux-gcc build script


Guys:


On my way to an updated crossgcc faq, I have produced a script that
automatically builds an arm-linux or powerpc-linux toolchain FROM
SCRATCH, *without* using newlib headers anywhere.

I wish to express my appreciation to Phillip Blundell, Kai Rottu and
Uli Drepper for motivating me to get this procedure documented and
automated.

I've tested the script on my RH7.1/x86 box, using gcc-2.95.3,
binutils-2.10.1, linux-2.4.3 and glibc-2.2.2.  I haven't tested it
anywhere else yet, or with any other tool/kernel/glibc versions.  I
don't yet see any reason why it wouldn't work on Solaris or Cygwin,
but I would like to know for sure, and I don't have access to those
build platforms right now.

The script is at my recently-constructed home page,
http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com.  I intend to add other build targets
soon, including non-Linux ones, but I'll be on vacation all next week
so I won't be looking at it.

Please post to crossgcc with questions or comments, and I'll catch up
when I get back.

After downloading the script, just look at the first few lines to see
how to use it.  It's pretty straightforward, I think--- you feed it
tarballs, and it does the rest.

Even if you know how to build a crossgcc, please look at and tell me
if there's anything I'm doing wrong.  I think the procedure is
correct, however, both because I finally understand all of it, and
because it *doesn't* need newlib.  :^)
