To reactivate this old 486 laptop that's been sitting in my basement, I |
| 2 |
set out to install it with a tiny Gentoo system and use it as a DSL |
| 3 |
router. The HD is 1.3 GB, so a full glibc-based system wouldn't be much |
| 4 |
of a problem, but I wanted to experiment with embedded stuff anyway, |
| 5 |
so... |
| 6 |
Well, I've never sone a Stage1 install. Upon my first try with Gentoo I |
| 7 |
ran into some problem and thought WTH, I'll just go with Stage3. But |
| 8 |
now, following the HOWTO at http://www.bulah.com/embeddedgentoo.html, I |
| 9 |
have to do it. |
| 10 |
All is fine up to the bootstrapping. I have a P4 Gentoo machine, trying |
| 11 |
to compile for i486. My short make.conf: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i486 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" |
| 14 |
CHOST="i486-gentoo-linux-uclibc" |
| 15 |
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" |
| 16 |
FEATURES="-sandbox buildpkg" |
| 17 |
UCLIBC_CPU="486" |
| 18 |
USE="bitmap-fonts minimal truetype-fonts" |
| 19 |
|

Trying to boostrap gcc fails with a segfault: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
gengtype-yacc.c: In function `yydestruct': |

| 33 |
I found that if I hack the Makefile to link all of those helper programs |
| 34 |
in gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1/work/build/gcc statically, they won't segfault |
| 35 |
and even produce something that will compile. But then I get another |
| 36 |
segfault when the resulting "xgcc" binary is run for the first time, so |
| 37 |
there is probably a systematic problem. |
| 38 |
Any ideas on what might be going wrong would be highly appreciated. |
