I'm trying to compile a cross-compiler to use with "nestedvm" (which emulates
MIPS binaries) on Debian Linux. The full version of the stable host GCC is
"gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)", so I decided to use
the closest matching source release to build a cross-compiler. It fails with
the followig at the end of the output:
checking size of short... 0
checking for char... no
checking size of char... 0
checking for type equivalent to int8_t... configure: error: no 8-bit type
/usr/src/gcc-4.1.2/libgfortran/configure: line 9718: exit: please: numeric
argument required
/usr/src/gcc-4.1.2/libgfortran/configure: line 9718: exit: please: numeric
argument required
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgfortran] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/build-gcc'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Since the line in question reads
{ (exit please report a bug); exit please report a bug; }; }
, I'm doing just that.
I used the following "configure" command to set this up, after merging in all
the subdirectories from binutils 2.17:
../gcc-4.1.2/configure --disable-libssp --program-prefix=mips-unknown-elf-
--enable-languages=c,fortran --target=mips-unknown-elf
