Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
last days I was trying to setup an embedded environment for some ppc405. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I had great succes, because the tree was chrootable and bash was |
| 9 |
working properly. But when it came to portage, I encountered strange |
| 10 |
problems with math functions. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
After long traceback, I found, that glibc and gcc have problems with |
| 13 |
softfloat. (for glibc --without-fp is the right configure option for |
| 14 |
my system, but currently it is not directly supportet by the ebuild, |
| 15 |
got it in through EXTRA_ECONF="--without-fp") |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
My first try was to build with powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, now I now, |
| 18 |
that I need powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu, this is, where it get's |
| 19 |
difficult. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Another thing is, that -msoft-float and -mlong-double-128 are not |
| 22 |
supported (many many warnings), but used within the Gentoo ebuild. |
| 23 |
Perhaps -m128bit-soft-float is the one the programmers wanted, but in |
| 24 |
my opinion it is also not the right choice. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The Problems with glibc(2.4) and gcc (4.1.1 and 4.2) are discussed in |
| 27 |
this bugreport http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2749. |
| 28 |
Some patches are also discussed and attached in this bugreport. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I would be very greatful, if somebody takes a look at this and give me |
| 31 |
some |
| 32 |
feedback with your opinion, if, how and how fast this could be solved |
| 33 |
within Gentoo and crossdev. |
