Building Glibc

[kd at flaga.is]

I have an debian system so I upgraded my gcc to 2.95.2 and binutils to
2.9.5 just by inserting the appropriate packages on the system and
resolving conflicts/dependencies.
That was necessary (I think) to build the cross compiler (version 2.95.2
also) and the cross binutils (also version 2.9.5). Now I had the
tools to build the glibc-2.1.2 for the ppc.

So I ended up installing the latest gcc and binutils in order to compile
the latest cross-gcc and glibc.

Check the documentation for glibc (if you havent allready) it mentions the
minimum version requirements for all the tools.

K.D.

If this is what you mean, how can I get the version 2.9.5?
Do I have to install a new compiler?
