3.4 Building and Installing a Cross-Compiler

GNU CC can function as a cross-compiler for many machines, but not all.

Since GNU CC generates assembler code, you probably need a cross-assembler that GNU CC can run, in order to produce object files. If you want to link on other than the target machine, you need a cross-linker as well. You also need header files and libraries suitable for the target machine that you can install on the host machine.

3.4.1 Steps of Cross-Compilation  Using a cross-compiler involves several steps that may be carried out on different machines.
3.4.2 Configuring a Cross-Compiler  Configuring a cross-compiler.
3.4.3 Tools and Libraries for a Cross-Compiler  Where to put the linker and assembler, and the C library.
3.4.5 Cross-Compilers and Header Files  Finding and installing header files for a cross-compiler.
3.4.4 `libgcc.a' and Cross-Compilers  Supplying arithmetic runtime routines (`libgcc1.a').
3.4.6 Actually Building the Cross-Compiler  Actually compiling the cross-compiler.
