Issue to build cross-gcc for MIPS big endian target (bu2.14.90.0.7, gcc3.3.2, glibc2.2.5)

[David Mentre <Mentre at tcl dot ite dot mee dot com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a cross-gcc for a MIPS big endian target (usual x86
host).

Right now, I'm using :
 binutils 2.14.90.0.7
 gcc 3.3.2
 glibc 2.2.5

I'm using crosstool-0.25 from Dan Kegel with following configuration files:

[David@DAHUT crosstool-0.25]$ cat mips.dat
TARGET=mips-unknown-linux-gnu
TARGET_CFLAGS="-O2 -finline-limit=10000"

[David@DAHUT crosstool-0.25]$ cat gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.2.5.dat
BINUTILS_DIR=binutils-2.14.90.0.7
GCC_DIR=gcc-3.3.2
GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.2.5
LINUX_DIR=linux-2.4.19-rc1-cpp-mitsu
GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME=glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5
BUILD_DIR=/usr/local/src/mips-toolchain
PREFIX=/usr/Applications/tc-mips-linux-bu2.14.90.0.7-gcc3.3.2-glibc2.2.5
TARBALLS_DIR=/usr/local/src/tarballs

I am calling Dan's scripts with:
eval `cat mips.dat` `cat gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.2.5.dat` sh all.sh --notest


I have already fixed a small issue by applying following patch to
glibc-2.2.5/sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h

Everything (binutils, gcc first pass, glibc) seems to compile nicely.
However, when the script is doing a make install for glibc, I obtain the
following error:

+ make install
install_root=/usr/Applications/tc-mips-linux-bu2.14.90.0.7-gcc3.3.2-glibc2.2
.5/mips-unknown-linux-gnu prefix=
make: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: ELF file data
encoding not little-endian


I do not understand the issue. Would it be related to /bin/ld.so called
instead of target ld.so? Has anybody faced a similar issue? Any idea how to
fix that?

Many thanks in advance for any help,
Sincerely yours,
david mentré
