I got an alpha*-*-gnu* target configuration put into the current GCC sources, but that is not in any release yet. I think it might only go into 3.2, I'm not sure if 3.1 was frozen already when I sent the patch. I suspect that you could apply those patches to 3.0.4 and have them work, but probably the easiest thing to do is just work from the current (unreleased) GCC sources--that's how I made my alpha-gnu cross-compiler.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/ for details on using GCC's anonymous CVS. Once you have that checked out, just do (but see below first): .../gcc/configure --host=YOUR-HOST --target=alpha-gnu make make install (I always use a separate build directory, so replace ".../gcc/" with the relative path to your source directory.) You can use `alpha-unknown-gnu' or `alphaev8-frobozz-gnu' or any other GNU configuration target that matches the pattern `alpha*-*-gnu*'; whatever alias you choose will be the name of your cross tools (i.e. alpha-gnu-gcc et al). That's all there is to it. I always get errors building libgcc2 when I do a cross-compiler, but you can just ignore that to begin with. Before you do this, you should have appropriate binutils installed. If your host is another Alpha/ELF system, then you might get away with just skipping this step, or you might need to make a bunch of symlinks alpha-gnu-ld -> ld and the like. For binutils, the alpha-linux or alpha-elf targets are just the same as what you need for alpha-gnu. Extant binutils versions don't understand "alpha-gnu" but the change is as simple as finding the spots in bfd/config.bfd and ld/configure.tgt where `alpha*-*-linux*' appears and adding the `alpha*-*-gnu*' pattern there. (I have more complete binutils patches that I have not submitted for incorporation yet, but that simple change suffices for now.) It is important to have working alpha-gnu-{ld,as} and so forth already available in your path when you run gcc's configure script. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
