All, Thanx to Gene Sally for digging out a post with similar issue seen one year back. The crosstool.sh needs to be modified to overcome this problem. Now I have been able to succesfully build gcj for ppc750.

This is the expectation: the target C library already exists when one starts to produce a crosscompiler for the target! This is true when the target system exists already and then one can simply copy the target C library from it. Producing the target C library has absolutely nothing to do with the GCC production! > You could try asking on crossgcc@sourceware.org as it appears that you > are using crosstool. Many of the crosstool developers read that list > and are generally fairly responsive to questions. "Those who know how to do something will do it. Those who don't know how to do that can only give advices for others to do that!" Old Karelian wisdom... The crossgcc people may be responsive but whether they really know "how to do something" isn't that clear :-( The first thing to understand is that these people have a blind faith that "reinventing the wheel", ie replacing the existing (expected to be) thoroughly tested target stuff with totally self-made stuff would lead to a better result than using the original. Using the original is always a safe bet, if one replaces it, then one should know that the replacement is really better! Ok, I myself was one of those who tried to tell people that putting "pirate parts", as the words then were, into IBM etc. PCs instead of using the expensive "originals" would lead into a better result! The same thing with the DEC VAX'es, using much cheaper NSC memory boards for instance. Or using a FoxBase, a dBXL or some other "dBASE clone" instead of the original. Or using a Basmark BASIC (32-bit) instead of the original Microsoft (16-bit) one on PC Unices. Or using Linux instead of the "original" Unix. In these cases I had a thought that the replacement should be better than the original.... This far I haven't seen any evidence that the self-made "Kegelian Linux" parts really are better than their Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, MontaVista etc. made "originals". So when producing crosstoolchains for these existing Linuces my advice would be to use their original parts for the target, like their glibcs, X11-libs, Gnome and KDE libraries instead of building oneself replacements for these. And do the same even with the 'crosstool' or something made existing "hobby" things like OpenWRT... A recent case with Java showed that one really cannot mix the existing installed OpenWRT runtimes with a self-made 'libgcj.so' when this was produced to be in sync with the self-made uClibc, not with the original installed OpenWRT uClibc. Of course everyone is free to experiment with self-made components but first one could check that things are working when using the (expected to be freely available) originals ! >> /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.5/powerpc-750-linux-gnu/powerpc-75 >> 0-linux >> >> > -gnu/include/sys/syscall.h:32:27: error: bits/syscall.h: No such >> file or > directory Whether there is any existing Linux/PPC-750 system in the Mudit case, is still unclear :-( However this thing is just the one which states the sanity to use "crosstool" : to create the toolchain from scratch (if one really sees sanity even in this - I don't because there are so many "suitable" Linux/PPC bootstrap parts) and then use it to create the whole target Linux system from scratch ! If one is not going to create the target Linux system from scratch, what on earth one thinks doing when using the "crosstool"? -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
