I am trying to cross compile glibc 2.16 for ARM on a x86_64 machine running ubuntu 12.04. I am using the gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain from the repository. configured with:
../glibc-2.16.0/configure --build=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --enable-add-ons --with-headers=/usr/arm/include/ --prefix=/usr/arm
when i run make i hit this error:
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find libgcc_s.so.1 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
location of libgcc_s.so
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/libgcc_s.so
creating a symlink to libgcc_s.so.1 in the same folder causes this error:
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/libgcc_s.so.1: Too many open files
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Any ideas what to do next?
This was caused by a broken toolchain, i completely removed and purged all arm-linux related files and re-installed the toolchain and libs and now it works again.
