Re: Re: Problems building gcc-4.1 from etch testing. 'debian/rules control' fails because no FFI or GFDL files in
Wartan,
Thanks for the reply. On closer look, I was attributing the failure of
'dpkg-buildpackage' to the benign errors in the 'debian/rules control'
script as you pointed out.
Instead, my problem was with unmet dependencies to build gcc, specifically,
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is gcc-4.1
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 4.1.1ds1-13
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386
dpkg-buildpackage: source version without epoch 4.1.1ds1-13
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies:
libc6-dev-ppc64-powerpc-cross (>= 2.3.6-7)
dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)
I installed crosses of the following libraries to fill in the missing
dependencies
lib64gcc1_4.1.1-13_powerpc.deb
libc6-ppc64_2.3.6.ds1-4_powerpc.deb
libc6-dev-ppc64_2.3.6.ds1-4_powerpc.deb
Now dpkg-buildpackage doesn't complain about dependencies, but still
fails to build due to
checking for libintl.h... yes
checking for library containing gettext... configure: error: Link tests
are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

Some searching around the web brought me to these bug reports
http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334626
http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334673
which deal with a change to binutils dealing with some form of 64 bit
patch. The binutils I have is later than the one specified as fixed,
but to my eye the fix seemed like it might be specific to amd64 bit
platforms.
Would you happen to know if I am simply missing some additional cross
library that handles 'gettext', or if the bug report I found for
binutils also applies to ppc64 in some currently unpatched way. I'm
wondering if there is a way I could just build without the 64bit PPC
support alltogether, as I don't need it. Any additional help you could
give to get me further along would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help,
