Re: crossgcc for RH7.3 on RH9 (sad but true!)

["John Utz" <Johnut01 at noa dot nintendo dot com>]

Hi guys;

Dan, demo.sh does not have the 

gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.2.5.dat target listed.

you might want to patch that up with:

eval `cat i686.dat` `cat gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.2.5.dat` sh all.sh
--notest

this build probably wont finish before i bail at 22:00, but it should
build just fine and i can look at it on monday.

if it works on monday, i will send mail laden with google friendly
keywords about compiling for redhat 7 on redhat 9...oh look, i am doing
it already!

i could declare redhat to be lame for not doing this, or i could just
say hooray for open source, because it allows me to get my work done.

and a gnarly big tnx to you Dan for writing crosstool, with an implied
thx to all the srcs that you utilized to get the job done...shoulders of
giants and all that....

Dan, your tool is full of Ass Kicking Goodness!(tm)!

I've succeeded in building the toolchain and compiling our app with
it.

However, i choose to build gcc-3.3-glibc-2.2.5 and this left me
linking
to libstdc++.so.5, which isnt on RH73 systems, so the app stiff fails
due to a loader error, but it's a *different* loader error, and that
counts as progress in my book :-)

So now i am building  gcc-3.2.3-glibc-2.2.5 and will try to build our
app with that.

If that wont work, then i'll use the gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.25 target....
