crossdev - toolchain for a powerpc system running linux 2.4

[smichak]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a stage 3 cross toolchain for a linux 2.4.21 system running on a powerpc platform. Upgrading the target system's kernel is impossible.

So far all my attempts to create a toolchain with various versions of gcc and libc using crossdev have failed with build errors (different errors for different gcc/libc versions).

If anyone has ever been successful in this and can provide me with the versions he's using and the method to get this working I would be really grateful.


Thanks,

Micha

Hi,

just wrapping up through all the cross-compile posts ...

Building a basic kernel 2.4 toolchain should work
if you consider the following restrictions according to [1]:

vanilla kernel 2.4 does not support nptl
glibc >= 2.4 requires nptl and kernel 2.6
old glibc <= 2.7 can not build with gcc >= 4.3


so after some experiments the full ( incl. c++ ) toolchain builds with
