Common Errors

If you enable SPE support

It errors out while Installing C library the error code outputs http://pastie.org/1802072 ... hunting the error deeper this is the part that errors out

configure:3294: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuspe-gcc    -V >&5
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuspe-gcc: '-V' option must have argument
configure:3297: $? = 1
configure:3301: checking for suffix of object files
configure:3327: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuspe-gcc    -c -mabi=spe -mspe          -O2  conftest.c >&5
cc1: error: not configured for ABI: 'spe'
configure:3330: $? = 1

At this moment, the toolchain get some errors during the compilation, here the compilation process :

Here is the build.log :

Personnal comment :

I'm gonna retry it, again... apparently, this issue is caused by "no unwind-support". Let's investigate it.

Note : I have not activated SPE support.

Ok guys, everything is finally working on my Ubuntu x86_64 host sytem. All you have to do is to use the latest revision of crosstool-ng and apply the important.patch to the source code, so just follow the steps indicated.

Note : Still not have activated SPE support. I'm going to test the compilation with it, maybe it's my lucky day.

My host has gcc 3.4.6 (couldn't change). So I can't compile PPL (checked.inlines.hh:607: internal compiler error: in invert_truthvalue, at fold-const.c). Are there some workarounds to this problem?
