RE: "powerpc-elf-ar : not found" and "libgcc2.a" problem (target 'mak e all' or 'make all-gcc')

["Bertin, Philippe" <philippe dot bertin at barco dot com>]

Hello, again,

And (I start feeling guilty) thank you again for all your help. After
checking what was suggested, that's what was done : after now having removed
everything again (you never know ... at least, I never know), after having
installed again the binutils (should it really be 2.10 ? I continued to use
2.11, maybe erroneously, but I didn't think so ?), after then adapting PATH
to PATH=$PATH:$prefix/bin, after then downloading and installing (as Dave
suggested) gcc-core-2.95.3, I thought I could've compiled without any
problem. But again, after running configure --prefix=$prefix,
--target=$target -v, I still have the problem of unfound header files (I
refer to the end of this message for the last outputs of the make all-
script in gcc-core-2.95.3 directory).

As I understand from former comments, I should then install the
(newlib/glibc) header files ? But then, trying to install these (with the
same ./configure- options), I either run into 'unsupported glibc' for
Solaris (???), or I should use newlib of which, in my 'quest', I found
mention of a --with-newlib option to be given to the ./configure- script
(although this option isn't mentioned when I run ./configure --help).

Now my questions :
1. are these actions still correct ?
2. why does the crosscompiler still not compile only it's core ?
3. is it correct that glibc isn't supported on Solaris (2.6) ?
4. when using newlib, should I really add the option --with-newlib to the
./configure- script? And if so, what does this option exactly do ?

Thank you again for all your kind answers,

Regards,

Philippe Bertin.
