crosstool-0.43 doesn't compile glibc-2.3.2

[Khalifa ROUIS]

Hello,

I've been trying unsuccessfully to compile a toolchain for arm9tdmi
with gcc-4.1.0-libc-2.3.2 using crosstool-0.43 on an ubuntu-server
7.10
It may seem weird, especially that I'm using the default settings for
it (see below the config scripts), but it keep exiting with the very
same error on version.o
I googled this problem before posting my message, and I had some hints
like the system's gcc version (even though I don't know what does it
have to see with the glibc since it's compiled with the "CORE_GCC"
which was successfully compiled).
Here are more informations about the versions of the different
elements on the system :
    Linux CompilServ 2.6.22-14-server #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:34:23 GMT
2007 i686 GNU/Linux
    gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) [I
also tried downgrading gcc and using gcc-3.3]
    bison (GNU Bison) 2.3 [had to install it with flex after a
dependency error first time I tried crosstool]
    flex 2.5.33
    m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.10 [dependency of bison]
Since my server is not connected to Internet, I downloaded myself the
different elements for the toolchain and did put them all in
~/download/ :
    binutils-2.16.1.tar.gz
    gcc-4.1.0.tar.gz
    glibc-2.3.2.tar.gz
    linux-2.6.15.4.tar.gz
    gcc-3.3.6.tar.gz
    gdb-6.4.tar.bz2
    glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2.tar.gz
    linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0.tar.bz2
Here are my config files :

Any indications are most welcome, thank you in advance.

glibc 2.3.2 was released around March 2003.
gcc 4.1.0 was released around February 2006.

Can you spot the problem? :)  It can be very hard to get combinations
like this to compile...

the gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.2.dat actually exists by default in
crosstool-0.43, moreover, it's mentioned in demo-arm9tdmi.sh under the
comment "This script has one line for each known working toolchain for
this architecture." which means that it's known to be working .... O_o

so, I guess that I just still need help ^_^;
Thank you anyway Dimitry.

Aha, well then the next hint might be that you're running Ubuntu, which
doesn't use bash as /bin/sh by default.  And it looks like glibc's build
scripts really require bash, although they pretend to be POSIX sh
compatible.  (This may have been fixed after 2.3.2, I'm not sure).

So, you can please try:

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash

and answering "No" to the question if you want to install dash as /bin/sh.
Then run the crosstool build again.

This didn't actually solve the problem .. :-/
But while compiling manually another toolchain (for arm-elf with
newlib) newlib didn't compile too, but at least gave me an indication
about the source of all my problem : makeinfo !!!
I didn't have makeinfo ! so I had to install it (it's included in
texinfo for ubuntu) and then everything worked just fine ... even for
glibc.
Thank you for your help Dimitry, and I hope this may help someone else too.

All,
Thanks a lot for this valuable information.
I discovered that to fix this problem of 'missing " ',
both of the following steps are needed to build 0.43 on Ubuntu 8.10 i.e.,

1.  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash
     and answering "No" to the question if you want to install dash as /bin/sh
2. sudo apt-get install texinfo

On my machine I installed texinfo and it still failed with same error.
Then I did step 1 above and it worked!

Can you post the complete error message.

Thx
