Problems getting cross compile environment working.

[Ryan Braby]

Hello,

I've been trashing around for a few days now trying to get a cross
compile
environment working to build a powerpc64 linux kernel under Mac OS X.

I've been following this script as instructions:
http://www.samba.org/~anton/ppc64_crosscompiler/buildit

Doing this I've been able to build a 64 bit cross compiler, but I
haven't
managed to build the 32 bit cross compiler.  I keep getting errors like
the
following:

../../gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config/rs6000/linux.h:81:20: signal.h: No such file
or directory
../../gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config/rs6000/linux.h:82:26: sys/ucontext.h: No
such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libgcc/./_muldi3.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

I've done a lot of searching on mailing lists and on the web for the
solution,
but haven't found a satisfactory answer yet.

It appears that perhaps the issue is a requirement for some glibc
headers for
the target platform (powerpc-linux).  However, as I understand it,
cross compiling
glibc requires that you have a working cross compiler.  How would one
go about
getting the required headers?  Is there a simpler solution that I'm
missing?

Thanks,
Ryan Braby

P.S.  Anton thanks for making your patches and the buildit script
available.
