Hi all,

I am trying to cross compile gcc-4.1.0 ( I have also
tried 3.3.2) for powerpc using a Freebsd 6.1 box. I
configure using:

var/gcc-4.1.0/configure --host=i386-freebsd
--target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/var/gcc
--disable-shared --disable-threads
--enable-languages=c,c++ --without-fp

and everything seems ok. Then I type make all-gcc
install-gcc and the make begins.

After a while I get the following error:

srcdir="/var/gcc-4.1.0/fixincludes" /bin/sh
/var/gcc-4.1.0/fixincludes/mkfixinc.sh
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
sed -e 's/@gcc_version@//' < > mkheadersT
Syntax error: redirection unexpected
*** Error code 2

Stop in /var/built-gcc/build-i386-freebsd/fixincludes.
*** Error code 1

I have tried to configure using other commands like:

/var/gcc-4.1.0/configure --target=powerpc-linux
--prefix=/var/gcc --disable-shared --disable-threads
--enable-languages=c --with-newlib

but nothing different happens.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Did anybody ever get back to you on this? I'm having the same problem on my AIX v5.3.

I was using make and not gmake as I should. Please install gmake and everything will work fine.

Remember to export the directory that contains the AS, AL etc. That was another thing that troubled me.
