Hmm. I use TARGET=sparc dpkg-buildpackage the binary-cross target now says: "Please use dpkg-buildpackage instead of calling binary-cross directly; see README.cross" That's true in the 2.22 ansd 2.23 I have to hand. Appraently there have been changes here since squeeze. It probably amounts to the same thing, but I'd check and see if that makes any difference for you. I've never tested a sparc build in my life, but I do know that the cross-build packaging for binutils is generally in good shape and works well for armhf/armel/arm64 > However trying to assemble and link for a sun4 system (-m sun4 > argument to sparc-linux-gnu-ld ), results in a error that > ldscripts/sun4.x is not found. > > Indeed the cross build process does not install the ldscripts into the > deb package, even though the are generated and can be found in the > builddir-sparc-linux-gnu directory. > > Is this a bug or feature ?

The sparc packaging has probably just got bit-rot because it's not being used much, but if you are lucky it's because you are using an outdated build rune. BTW I have submitted a bug to normalise these cross-runes between packages (so we don't have 'TARGET' for binutils and 'GCC_TARGET' for gcc. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695595 so at some point the official build runes should become: DEB_TARGET_ARCH=<arch> dpkg-buildpackage -b Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
