Hi Paul,
Sorry, I wasn't explicit enough. When I say "cross-compile binutils", I mean exactly that: I'm building binutils with a cross-compiler, so that the resulting executable will run on a different architecture.
Ah OK, I understand now.
But, when I look at the binutils/Makefile, I see that the STRIP variable is simply set to "strip", not the cross-compiler version of "strip". So if I invoke "make install-strip" directly from within the binutils subdirectory rather than from the top level, the cross-compiler version of STRIP is not set and it tries to use "strip" instead... which fails.
Understood. How about adding the definition of the STRIP environment variable to the make command line ? ie:
% cd <builddir>/binutils % make STRIP=powerpc-linux-gnu-strip install-strip Cheers Nick _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
