Re: [gentoo-embedded] crossdev fail

Hey!

Well, your problem is described easily once you read
cross-armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-glibc-headers.log::

checking for /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as...

checking version of
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as...

checking for /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld...

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld...
2.20.1.20100303, bad

and checking the glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2 's  configure script:

4530  echo $ECHO_N "checking version of $AS... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
4531   ac_prog_version=`$AS --version 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^.*GNU
assembler.* \([0-9]*\.[0-9.]*\).*$/\1/p'`
4532   case $ac_prog_version in
4533     '') ac_prog_version="v. ?.??, bad"; ac_verc_fail=yes;;
4534     2.1[3-9]*)
4535        ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, ok"; ac_verc_fail=no;;
4536     *) ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, bad"; ac_verc_fail=yes;;
4537
4538   esac

In the above lines, you see that the binutils-2.20.1.20100303
of your host is too new for the glibc version, which requires
version 2.1*. :-) If you require this glibc version one would
need to replace the check in line 4534 with

2.1[3-9]*|2.2[0-9]*)

and test with this setting. Alternatively you could try with
>=glibc-2.11.1 which has a check for newer binutils.

Have fun!
