6.7. Cross GCC-4.3.2 - Static

The GCC package contains the GNU compiler collection, which includes the C and C++ compilers.

6.7.1. Installation of Cross GCC Compiler with Static libgcc and no Threads

To make sure that a couple of tools use the proper syntax, apply the following patch:

patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-4.3.2-posix-1.patch

The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory:

mkdir -v ../gcc-build
cd ../gcc-build

Prepare GCC for compilation:

../gcc-4.3.2/configure --prefix=${CLFS}/cross-tools \
    --target=${CLFS_TARGET} --disable-multilib \
    --with-sysroot=${CLFS} --disable-nls --disable-shared \
    --without-headers --with-newlib --disable-decimal-float \
    --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp \
    --disable-threads --enable-languages=c

The meaning of the configure options:

--disable-shared

Disables the creation of the shared libraries.

--disable-threads

This will prevent GCC from looking for the multi-thread include files, since they haven't been created for this architecture yet. GCC will be able to find the multi-thread information after the Glibc headers are created.

--enable-languages=c

This option ensures that only the C compiler is built.

Continue with compiling the package:

make

Install the package:

make install

Details on this package are located in Section 6.9.2, “Contents of GCC.”
