Re: Building GlibC for TriCore

  Just export CC=tricore-gcc at the beginning of the build process
should do the job, I think (or CC=tricore-gcc ./configure ...).

  No, you need to use gcc or gcc-compatible compiler.

  However, overally what you want is not easy - main parts of glibc are
the architecture-dependent and OS-dependent layers. These will not
appear magically, you need to program T-Kernel interface and
TriCore-specific routines. If T-Kernel is not POSIX compatible (I have
no idea), this could become a very complex process, even. Frankly,
I don't think you fare well if you started having trouble so early
in the process.

  Please use the libc-help@ mailinglist in case you have further
questions.
