umm... has anyone actually done this? I looked at the directions in a fair bit
of detail a few weeks ago to (try to) create cross-compilers for both linux and
solaris 2.x on our sunos 4.1.2 sparcserver...
the directions were fairly good until it got to the point of saying:
(sorry, i don't have the document handy to quote verbatim...:< )
"Now you need to provide libgcc.a . This we can not provide, or give a really
consistent way of making, etc."
I personally had no clue how to proceed from this point. Any clues?
thanks,
