Trying to get crosstool-0.43 to work on Solaris 9

[Alexander Skwar <listen at alexander dot skwar dot name>]

Hello.

I'd like to setup a cross compiler machine on a Sparc Solaris 9
system with a target of i686-pc-linux-gnu. To do that, I downloaded
crosstool-0.43.tar.gz, unpacked it, "mkdir ~/downloads", changed
"RESULT_TOP=/home/askwar/crosstool" in "demo-i686.sh" and tried
to run it. It fails :(

askwar@winpc000220 ~/cross-compile/crosstool-0.43 $ CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
askwar@winpc000220 ~/cross-compile/crosstool-0.43 $ export CONFIG_SHELL
askwar@winpc000220 ~/cross-compile/crosstool-0.43 $ sh ./demo-i686.sh 2>&1 | tee
"build-log `date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.txt"

getandpatch.sh: syntax error at line 95: `;' unexpected

Line 95 is the "for arg; do" in the following:

    set -x
    # Check to see if the tarball already exists
    exists=""
    for arg; do
        case $arg in
        *.gz|*.bz2|*.tgz) ;;
        *) abort "unknown suffix on url $arg" ;;
        esac

According to "man ksh", "for arg; do" is correct syntax.

...

Ah! In all.sh, "sh getandpatch.sh" is invoked. sh on Solaris 9 does
not seem to recognize this syntax. After changing changing line 123
from "sh getandpatch.sh" to "ksh getandpatch.sh", all is fine.

A bit later, I stumbled over the following problem:

+ test -n
+ cd /export/home/askwar/cross-compile/crosstool-0.43/build/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6
+ echo hmm maybe cd
hmm maybe cd
Usage: tar {txruc@}[vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile] [blocksize] [exclude-file] [-I include-file] files ...
cannot unpack /home/askwar/downloads/gdb-6.5.tar.bz2

Problem is, that "tar" is the SUN tar. For starters, it does not know
about the "-z" or "-j" options. In line 141 and 143, I exchanged tar
with gtar, and all is well. Another more portable fix would be to not
rely on GNUisms, but use something like "gzip -cd $TARBALLS_DIR/$ARCHIVE_NAME | tar $VERBOSE -xf -"
instead.

Sending this for the sake of the archive - and maybe it might be a
good idea, to fix this in upcoming releases of crosstool?
