This fixes various issues, most noticably with libtool on multilib systems: patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-PR20425-patch; The following patch ensures that gcc does not search the /usr directory for libgcc_s.so when cross-compiling: patch -Np1 -i ../&gcc-cross_search-patch; The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build Prepare GCC for compilation: ../gcc-&gcc-version;/configure --prefix=${CLFS}/cross-tools \ --host=${CLFS_HOST} --target=${CLFS_TARGET} --disable-multilib \ --with-sysroot=${CLFS} --disable-nls --disable-shared \ --enable-languages=c The meaning of the configure options: --disable-shared Disables the creation of the shared libraries. --disable-threads This will prevent GCC from looking for the multi-thread include files, since they haven't been created for this architecture yet. GCC will be able to find the multi-thread information after the Glibc headers are created. --enable-languages=c This option ensures that only the C compiler is built.
