Hi,<br><br>This is the patch to make bootstrap linux to cross compile successfully to arm target.<br>This patch is based on pikhq&#39;s commit <span class="sha-block"><span class="sha js-selectable-text">a0a06ab5329cbcfbb088fbe490c4363043a1216a (the latest as of today). <br>
<br>I&#39;ve successfully created a working rootfs and native toolchain from x86-64 host with this. My host gcc is 4.6.2 if it matters.<br>The changes are minimal and intended only to get the cross working, I didn&#39;t try to optimise anything.<br>
<br>What was fixed:<br>- change linux-musl to linux-musleabi for arm target<br>- add host_configargs=&quot;LIBS=-lc&quot; and --with-stage1-libs=-lc for native gcc/binutils compile so that they don&#39;t pull in *printf from libiberty (which segfaults).<br>
- add linux-arm.config<br></span></span><br>Some known issues:<br>a) musl version as configured is at 0.9.2 but with arm it won&#39;t boot with 0.9.2 (busybox segfaults), you need to get the latest git master, make a tarball out of it and rename it to musl-0.9.2.tar.gz in the &quot;src&quot; directory. <br>
b) kernel compile is commented out - it doesn&#39;t work out of the box. It kind of works but stops near then end with missing symbols. If one then re-do the process (issue another make in the kernel directory) it then continues to completion. The produced kernel/modules works fine.<br>
c) the kernel config for arm is configured based on versatible emulation (because that&#39;s what I use for qemu at the moment). <br><br>Got a lot of help from John and Isaac to get this going, so thanks to both of you.<br>
<br>This is my first post to the mailing list, so you feel this kind of stuff is out of topic, my apology and lesson learnt.<br><br>cheers!<br>
