Cross compiling for powerpc440

[Yun <broody at gmail dot com>]

Hey guys,

Hope this question fits here...

I am trying to cross compile for powerpc440 using crosstools. I have
it built and working with these components:
GCC_CORE_DIR=gcc-3.4.6
GCC_DIR=gcc-4.1.2
GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.3.6
LINUX_DIR=linux-2.6.30.8
LINUX_SANITIZED_HEADER_DIR=
linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0
GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME=glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.6
GDB_DIR=gdb-6.5


But then I wanted to cross compile libraw1394 for my ML510
(powerpc440) board. That library requires "inotify" functions which is
available in glibc-2.4 and up. So I went ahead and upgraded to 2.4,
below is then the error message that I encounter during the build
process:

...............

checking whether gcc -g -O2 supports -mabi=ibmlongdouble... no
configure: error: this configuration requires -mlong-double-128 IBM
extended format support

I've tried upgrading all components to lastest releases and still
there is the same error. I've googled around and it sounds like this
was an old problem but I haven't found anything answers in
particular... Any help would be greatly appreciated and please feel
free to correct me as I am a total linux greenhorn...
