I am using the AMCC 440SP processor. I went and bought "Building Embedded Linux Systems" by Karim Yaghmour. It seems to be a pretty complete book, and I have gotten the cross-compiler completely installed, but it doesn't get into installing a native compiler. However, I tried cross compiling gcc by first running this configure line:
../gcc-3.4.4/configure --build=`../gcc-3.4.4/config.guess` --target=powerpc-linux --host=powerpc-linux --prefix=${PREFIX} --enable-languages=c and then a make all. The make went fine, and completed without any errors. However, when I ran 'make install' I got the following error: powerpc-linux-gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `/opt/recorder/tools/libexec/gcc/powerpc-linux/3.4.4/collect2': Exec format error make[2]: *** [nof/libgcc_s_nof.so] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/recorder/build-tools/build-native-gcc/gcc' make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/recorder/build-tools/build-native-gcc/gcc' make: *** [install-gcc] Error 2 How do I install the native compiler?
