Hi Andrew,
I've been using your cross-compilers here:
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/cross-compilers/
for a long time now, but they're starting to suffer from a bit of
neglect.
For example, the ia64 bundle, which used gcc 3.4.5 is now finally
too old to build 2.6.30-rc1, because of a gcc bug related to
labels.
Some of the newer bundles which use gcc 4.1.0 don't work because
of a check in:
include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h
So my question is, do you still use those tools hosted on
kernel.org or do you have a new solution these days?
If you have a new solution, I'd like to hear it, because I found
those cross-compilers pretty useful, as I'm sure others did.
I spent most of yesterday fiddling about and managed to build an
x86_64 host, ia64 target, gcc 4.2.3, glibc 2.3.6 bundle, and it
all seems to work.
Is this something you're interested in? I could send you my
tarball (and slowly work on some of the other archs).
If so, what were the crosstool build options you used? I'm
specifically wondering about:
- should I am for lowest common denominator host or are
you ok with x86_64 host
- did you statically link the toolchain? or is it
dynamically linked?
Thanks.

Don't know if this answers your problem, but I use the tools from
emdebian and they do not suffer from the problems you list below.
Good Luck,
Robin

Wow, this seems _much_ simpler. Once you get the toolchain
installed, all you have to do is set ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
appropriately?
I guess the question remains for Andrew. Since I pretty much did
all the work needed to update his cross-compiler repo, is there
still value in it?
Or shall we just recommend emdebian to everyone? :)
Thanks.

We would benefit very much from having someone who actually maintains a
suite of cross-compilers for kernel developers.
Yes, the stuff I put together is very old and at the time crosstool was
horridly hard to use. Hardly any combinations of anything actually
worked - what you see there is about 5% of the toolchains I had to
build. Apparently is has become better.

SUSE also has cross-gcc-* rpms. Typically for icecream, but they're
relatively easy to extract into native format.

Why bother?
You can use 'crossdev' to build your own cross-compilers instead. They
can build either stable or unstable toolchains for your target
architectures.

I hate dselect. I like debian though.
Fortunately dselect is history. It had one of the worst interfaces I
have ever dealt with.
So I have no problem with everyone using debian. I am sure the non
debian users do have a problem with that.

I already maintain cross compilers for my own use and the uClibc.org guys,
along with little root filesystems and system images bootable under qemu:
http://uclibc.org/downloads/binaries
We're about to start doing nightly builds based on uClibc snapshots, I could
easily get our server to do similar nightly builds based on the git version
kernel headers and upload 'em to
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/landley/ if there's any interest...

I build wont say maintain many of the cross compilers used for linux-next. I
can place them somehere. They're kernel only as I don't build libc.
I can build compilers for running on intel (32-bit) and powerpc (32-bit). If
there is a need for other hosted compilers and people can give me access to an
appropriate host/VM I'll build them too.

Please do.
Several people have made suggestions but I don't think I've yet seen
anything which is download-and-go. Many of them appear to be ways of
tricking people into installing distributions which include dselect,
but I'm awake to their little games.

Any chance m68k-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc 4.0.2 can be updated, so we get proper
m68k allmodconfig coverage again? Recently we had some allmodconfig breakage
in mainline (not limited to m68k though) for stuff that had been in
-next, but was
never tried with m68k allmodconfig due to the ICE, while I could reproduce it.
Mine is gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21), so
far no ICEs
when not trying randconfig (strange that randconfig triggers those).

Is anybody building GCC trunk for the targets on a daily basis? I do
build vax-linux (kernel-only) cross compilers quite often and the
build script could probably also handle other targets.

Any chance to add cross compilers for linux-parisc and linux-parisc64 as well?

Not daily yet, but often anyway. Also binutils and kernel mainline.
Scripts: <http://git.infradead.org/users/segher/buildall.git>
Edit "config" for your local paths etc.
Run ./build [--kernel] <arch> [<some-defconfig>] to build a toolchain
and a kernel, or only the kernel if --kernel is given. Run ./buildall
to build a toolchain+kernel for all archs.

I haven't succeeded in builting a ia64 compiler, but I'll keep trying.
The i386,powerpc and sparc compilers are biarch and seem to build the 32/64

I'm building i386 hosted compiiler ATM and I'll uplaod them when done.
Looking at the 4.3.3 compilers, asside from ia64 what arches are missing?

These should all be relocatable, in that you can wack them anywhere (/opt/cross
for me) and set your CROSS_COMPILE var and go.
For what it's worth these compilers were built with something derrived from
the buildall scripts by Segher (http://git.infradead.org/users/segher/buildall.git)
Thanks Segher!

I've started a build-bot like script for binutils + GCC from CVS/GIT.
If it builds through, I'll start uploading i686 hosted compilers
later on today.

So... I've now build trunk kernel-only cross-compilers (hosted on
i686) for these targets:
alpha-linux.tar.bz2
am33_2.0-linux.tar.bz2
arm-linux.tar.bz2
avr-linux.tar.bz2
bfin-uclinux.tar.bz2
cris-linux.tar.bz2
frv-linux.tar.bz2
h8300-elf.tar.bz2
hppa64-linux.tar.bz2
hppa-linux.tar.bz2
i386-linux.tar.bz2
ia64-linux.tar.bz2
m32r-linux.tar.bz2
m68k-linux.tar.bz2
mips64-linux.tar.bz2
mips-linux.tar.bz2
powerpc64-linux.tar.bz2
powerpc-linux.tar.bz2
s390-linux.tar.bz2
sh3-linux.tar.bz2

sparc64-linux.tar.bz2
sparc-linux.tar.bz2
v850e-linux.tar.bz2
vax-linux.tar.bz2
x86_64-linux.tar.bz2
xtensa-linux.tar.bz2
They seem to build reliably, I'd easily build them once a day. If
anybody is interested, I'll put them somewhere on lug-owl.de, or if
you wish, on kernel.org .

we already host up-to-date Blackfin compilers on the Blackfin website:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs/
and we build for a variety of platforms ... atm that is x86, x86_64,
ia64, and ppc
we also provide for simple distro integration:
- Gentoo has ebuilds in-tree
- deb based distros can use "deb
http://download.analog.com/27516/distros/debian stable main"
- rpms are available at the link above (fedora/suse/etc...)
- tarballs are available at the link above (everyone else)
not sure it can get much easier than that for installing the Blackfin
toolchain ;)

It can...
I'm after a one-stop place where we can locate cross compilers
for all architectures that Linux supports so it is a much simpler
task to actaully try to build our changes for as many architectures
as we supports.
And please host them on kernel.org - preferably as an update
of Vegards pages.

whoever is maintaining the one location should simply mirror our
tarballs (grabbing the 1 uclinux from the Debian link would be
easiest) ... unlike the random ones people are compiling and posting,
the binaries we post have gone through extensive testing -- both in
terms of included testsuites (gcc/binutils/etc...) as well as actually
building/running the kernel and userspace

Known-working compilers, or the current latest-and-greatest for
testing? I can provide the HEAD compilers easily.

There's /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/toolchain.git/ on kernel.org.
Not updated for a while and it's Fedora-based set.

As long as nobody objects, I'll put snapshot compilers once a week to
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jbglaw/cross_compilers
The first round is uploading right now, it should show up soon.
