[I386-uclibc-devel] building toolchain for i386-uclibc - binutils

[Daniel Ruoso]

Hi James,

I don't know if you heard, but I'm starting a new architecture,
i386-uclibc with gnu type i386-pc-linux-uclibc. As uclibc-toolchain is
buggy and incomplete, I'm starting to build my own toolchain. But...

When trying to configure binutils with --target=i386-pc-linux-uclibc I'm
having some problems... Exactly because I'm starting a new arch.

First i got:
*** BFD does not support target i386-pc-linux-uclibc.
*** Look in bfd/config.bfd for supported targets.

patching config.bfd (below) solves this problem...

</PATCH>

and then I got:
GAS does not know what format to use for target i386-pc-linux-
uclibc

But now I don't have a clue of where to fix it... 

Can you help me?
