I thought of something like this but I didn't know how to determine which |
| 17 |
endian mode is used. Whatever, I tried to find some informations about |
| 18 |
this issue and found this [1]: |
| 19 |
"The primary reason for all this byteswapping is the bootloader is |
| 20 |
expecting the kernel and initrd in BE format; but if thebootloader is |
| 21 |
already in LE mode, we may be able to eliminate some of the byteswapping |
| 22 |
steps." |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Actually I would try another bootloader but I'm afraid of trashing my slug |
| 25 |
and I don't know how I'm supposed to install gentoo this way. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I would really appreciate if someone could give me some good |
| 28 |
link/documentation about big endian/little endian (I know what this this |
| 29 |
in theory but not about the consequences and how to deal with this in real |
| 30 |
life). |

In addition I noticed these three lines and tried to compile the glibc again. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* CBUILD: i686-pc-linux-gnu |
| 44 |
* CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu |
| 45 |
* CTARGET: armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
This time I used this command: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
CFLAGS="-march=armv5t -Os" CTARGET="armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu" \ |
| 50 |
CXXFLAGS="-march=armv5t -Os" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arm" emerge --nodeps \ |
| 51 |
=sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r3 -B |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
(note the CTARGET instead of CHOST) |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
And it works. Now I copied the tarball on my slug and emerged it. Then I |
| 56 |
changed CHOST to armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu and tried to install nss_ldap. |
| 57 |
But with the usual errors like this one: |
| 58 |
ldap-nss.h:643: error: `NSS_STATUS' declared as function returning a function |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I'll try some things and report again. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
But thanks a lot so far! |
