[bug#73006] [PATCH 0/2] gnu: glibc: Fix cross-compiling.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

Zheng Junjie <zhengjunjie@iscas.ac.cn> skribis:

>   utils: Add 'objcopy-for-target' and 'objdump-for-target'.
>   gnu: glibc: Fix cross-compiling.

Could you explain what this is addressing?

The ‘add-cross-binutils-to-PATH’ phase is supposed to do the right
thing, as suggested in the discussion at
<https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/d72f5f6f-cc3a-bd89-0800-ffb068928e0f@linaro.org/t/>,
and that means ‘objdump-for-target’ & co. shouldn’t be necessary.

Ludo’.

all cross-compiling image build fail, because glibc 2.39 cross-compiling fail.

this is in cross-libc*, but glibc not have this phase.

glibc 2.35 have "glibc-cross-objdump.patch" and "glibc-cross-objcopy.patch"
patch, but glibc 2.39 not have them, so 2.39 cross compiling try use objdump
and build fail, and 2.35 success.


I checked again today. because (gnu services base)'s nscd-configuration
default use glibc, not '(cross-libc target)', This is why glibc was
introduced. Maybe the following patch can also be useful.
