Arm cross gcc-3.4.0, glibc-2.3.2, binutils-1.1[45] build failure.

[Jonathan Marks <jonathan at wideray dot com>]

Hi,

Perhaps someone can help, please.

Building on a RH9.0 box, with either a RH9.0 gcc, or gcc-3.4.0 as the native compiler.
I get the same failure using binutils-2.14 or 2.15.  If I use gcc-3.3.2, the compile
works fine.

Here's the reported failure.

Here's a summary of the build process:

../binutils-2.14/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/xscale/3.4.0 --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-cpu=xscale
make
make install

../gcc-3.4.0/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/xscale/3.4.0 --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-cpu=xscale \
--with-headers=/usr/src/xscale/elroy-jack/sw/linux-2.6.6/include --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c \
--with-float=soft --disable-nls --enable--symvers=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit
make
make install

../glibc-2.3.2/configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
--with-headers=/usr/src/xscale/elroy-jack/sw/linux-2.6.6/include  \
--enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/xscale/3.4.0 \
--with-cpu=xscale --without-fp --enable-kernel=2.6.6
make
make install

So what have I found out so far?
A file .../sysdeps/generic/initfini.c is run through the compiler and generates an assembler file ..../csu/initfini.s.

Below is a copy of initfini.s  It looks like the compiler did not do too good a job of generating it.
The gcc-3.3.2 compiler did a much better job.  Note how _BEGIN's and _END's are mixed up -
eg. PROLOG_BEGIN with EPILOG_END.  We all know what we can expect when this file is passed through sed - as shown in
the transscript snippet.

Anyone know what I can do to fix it.

Thanks

Jonathan
