I'm trying to build a cross compiler for the mips processors running under cygwin for a couple of days now. I did not succeed yet, but I'm getting closer as I'm gathering more information. The problem I'm dealing with now is which library I should use to compile the cross-compiler. I'm a bit confused about which library is needed for what! Apparently you need a library to build the cross compiler, which seems logical. In the crossgcc faq of bill gatliff a bootstrap gcc is build in order to build the libraries which are eventually needed to build the actual cross compiler. What confuses me is that you build the libraries with a cross compiler. I thought you would need a library compiled for the i686-pc-cygwin environment to be able to build the cross compiler as it will be running in that environment. I assume that if I build the libraries with the bootstrap cross compiler they are actually build for the mips processor, so how can they be used then to build a cross compiler which will be running on the i686. I'm using the gcc which is delivered with the cygwin environment to compile the cross compiler, and I thought that would be also the compiler to use to build the libraries which are needed to build the cross compiler.
What libraries do you need? If it's glibc, then crosstool automates everything for you... - Dan
