Hi Petr,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I had already tried CC=tricore-gcc before ./configure but it had no effect. The configure log still showed that GCC was being used over tricore-gcc.
Also, I guess the problem is because of the OS and Architecture dependent parts of Glibc that needs modification. I am not very sure of how to go about it but I will figure it out i guess. At least, now I have more direction!
Thanks again,
Regards,
RV

Just export CC=tricore-gcc at the beginning of the build process
should do the job, I think (or CC=tricore-gcc ./configure ...).

No, you need to use gcc or gcc-compatible compiler.
However, overally what you want is not easy - main parts of glibc are
the architecture-dependent and OS-dependent layers. These will not
appear magically, you need to program T-Kernel interface and
TriCore-specific routines. If T-Kernel is not POSIX compatible (I have
no idea), this could become a very complex process, even. Frankly,
I don't think you fare well if you started having trouble so early
in the process.
Please use the libc-help@ mailinglist in case you have further
questions.
