Hi Veta,
thanks for the cross-linux packages!!
I am wondering why you put the include, share, man files into the stripped package.
As distccd receives a cpp-processed file, I conjecture that there is a lot to leave out.
It would be good if we could prepaire a list of things that are needed / not needed.
My suggestions (as rsync --include-from pattern)
+ i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as.exe
+ i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/*++.exe
+ i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/gcc.exe
+ lib/*.o
+ lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/*/*.o
+ lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/*/specs
+ libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/*/cc1*
+ /lib**/
+ /libexec**/
+ /i686-pc-linux-gnu**/
- *
This has worked for me, but I did not do a rigorous testing
I don´t know, what´s about the precompiled headers:
+ include/c++/*/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bits/stdc++.h.gch/*
As they are 36MB probably it´s better to leave them out.
I have tried with 4.0.1 and got to 26MB, significantly smaller than the original 63MB.
The tar.gz is 10 MB.
Any comment?

Gentoo 2006.0 has been released. There is a need for an updated toolchain compatible with the 2006.0 release.
Best of luck experts!  |

Is there any development on this? I would really like to get my windows box to help out Gentoo compile things but I don't know if I can use any of this stuff or whether it is too outdated.
Anyone? |

@linolium: eh? just use colinux if cygwin doesn't work.
personally, I'd recommend you try colinux (which runs with windows) first. |

Hi there.
Can somebody please tell my why all of this is necessary? Complete toolchain? glibc? What for?

Sounds like besides distcc all you need is a gcc capable of building the proper object files and nothing else. What am I missing? |

The glibc headers are needed for compiling the cross-gcc. You could probably get rid of it entirely after gcc is built. Binutils is needed (even for distcc) for the assembler. You could probably get rid of any part of binutils that isn't needed to support the assembler. I just never broke it down that far.

Nowadays I think that's probably the best way to go. Gentoo on colinux would be much easier to keep up to date than this. It would probably give better performance too. I haven't tried it though, but I don't use this anymore either. In case you're wondering why I did this, colinux hadn't been realeased, at least I hadn't heard of it, at the time. |
