Re: Building GlibC for TriCore

[u0606029 <surajraghavendran at gmail dot com>]

Hi Petr,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I had already tried CC=tricore-gcc before ./configure but it had no effect.
The configure log still showed that GCC was being used over tricore-gcc. 

Also, I guess the problem is because of the OS and Architecture dependent
parts of Glibc that needs modification. I am not very sure of how to go
about it but I will figure it out i guess. At least, now I have more
direction!

Thanks again,
Regards,
RV
