- I was trying yesterday to bring gcc-2.3.1 up on an sgi host as a cross
- compiler to a 386 in sysv4. Getting the header files was easy enough;
- just tar them... However, the compiler make dies when it tries to
- compile something IN 386, feeding the result to the mips assem, which
- turns its nose up to the tune of 2 errors per line on average. I know
- I could do everything as -S, but need to analyze the compiler makefile
- to see why it's trying to cross-compile while making the compiler.
-
- Is there an ELF version of gas planned any time soon?
-
- I plan to link on the 386; it's short of memory and can't compile the
- compiler in all its configurations. Besides, the R4000 is FAST.
- In other words, I don't need the gnu linker in ELF form (or COFF either),
- at least yet.
