 Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 3:31 am Post subject: [solved] Upgrading CHOST |
 |
|
I didn't really know where to place this.
I would like to change my CHOST settings. Can this be done completely in portage? Do I need to use the bootstrap script? Do I need to build a separate toolchain with the new host settings in a directory in the front of my path then rebuild system?
I can do the third option, I can probably figure out the second, but if there is a way to do it with the first option I would need guidance.

Does that require multislot, or can it be done without it?
How well does it work with hardened? Or does hardened not support anything above i386?

in the official documentation is reported that gentoo do not support the i386 chost but exist for hardened the stage3-x86 (who is compiled with chost i486) and the stage3-i686.
I have an old pc with an i586 processor and have upgraded the chost from the x86-hardened (I use only hardened gentoo) stage without problems, simply the linked guide is outdated and you must substitute the "i386 "with "i486".
By example the fix_libtool_files must be called as | Code: | | fix_libtool_files.sh 4.1.1 --oldarch i486-pc-linux-gnu |
and the 4.1.1 will match exacly your installed gcc version.

So... I added | Code: | | <sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r4 |
to /etc/portage/package.mask and it still wants to install glibc-2.6
Am I missing something, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
