Building Linaro GCC from source

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

I'm trying to build the Linaro GCC from source on an x86_64 Fedora 16 box.
I'm using as a guide a wiki entry I found in linaro.org site [1] that
explains how to build a native version of the compiler. But instead of a
native version I want to be able to cross-compile ARM binaries for my
target machine.

This is what I tried:

[javier at munra src]$ wget -c
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/86993387/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.12.tar.bz2
[javier at munra src]$ tar xaf gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.12.tar.bz2
[javier at munra src]$ mkdir build && cd build
[javier at munra build]$ ../gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.12/configure
--target=arm-linux --disable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c
--prefix=/home/javier/tools
[javier at munra build]$ make -j4 && make install

But got this error:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/javier/src/build/gcc'

See `config.log' for more details.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgcc] Error 1

Before trying to compile I've installed the libgmp, libmpfr and arm cross
tool-chain [2] Fedora packages so I guess all gcc dependencies are met
(binutils, glibc, etc).

Could someone be so kind to point me out what am I doing wrong? I'm sending
as an attachment the config.log generated file.

Please let me know if you need any more information about my setup and
environment.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
