Hi there,

I've been (cross) compiling it from times to times, without problems.
I'd recommend you to look at Hisham's ChrootCompile, which might save
you some headaches. ChrootCompile is, as its name says, a tool to
enjaul the compilation so that the external environment doesn't affect
your build.

To use it:

$ cd
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/goboscripts
co tools/ChrootCompile
$ mkdir chroot_env
$ cd chroot_env
$ ~/tools/ChrootCompile/SetupChrootEnv
$ ./ChrootCompile /Files/Compile/Recipes/Glibc/2.3.6

Ah, and just ensure to reset your CFLAGS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables
before launching Compile for it. Glibc build doesn't like to be
affected by them.

Bonne chance,
