[linuxsh-dev] current state of building a leading-edge toolchain (for SH)

[Robert P. J. D. <rp...@mi...>]

  at the moment, my efforts to build an SH toolchain using the
absolute latest GNU components have led me here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24445

if people want to play, i've attached the current version of my
"mini.sh" shell script, which is a thoroughly stripped version of dan
kegel's "crosstool" script, but has the basic functionality to take
the selected tarballs and try to build a toolchain.  (ok, the actual
last step is missing, but it's the second last step -- building glibc
-- that's failing, so if someone can get past that, i'll add the last
part to finish the actual toolchain construction.)

  the script is (i believe) pretty straightforward so if you want to
play, go wild.  (in fact, it should be appropriate for any type of
toolchain, not just SH.)  comments welcome.

  also, i've attached the minimal directory of patches you need just
for SH for the time being.  if you can make progress past that
bugzilla bug, i'm all ears.

p.s.  you can probably tell that i've made no effort to support legacy
builds.  life is short.
