Hi all,
I am still trying to bootstrap powerpc-linux-gnu. Already on the target
machine, my problem is binutils on powerpc-linux installs a shell script
(bin/embedspu). Currently, binutils does not depend on bash, but
binutils-final (the implicit binutils for gnu build system) has
bootstrap-coreutils as input. The result is an unallowed reference from
binutils to bootstrap-binaries, making the build fail.
I have solved it by adding static-bash-for-glibc as input for
binutils-final, but I was wondering whether it made sense to completely
change "bash" from bootstrap-bash to static-bash-for-glibc on %boot-inputs2 and
later, thus making easier to ensure dependencies on bootstrap-bash
are not carried on.
Thoughts?
BR
Carlos

I’m guessing that ‘embedspu’ is for the Cell’s SPU, which is dead, so a
quick fix would be to remove this script in a post-install phase.

Yes it wouldn’t hurt to do that, so why not.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
