HOWTO build i386-linux toolchain for Generic i386/Linux
-------------------------------------------------------


1. Packages used:

    binutils-2.14.tar.gz
    gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz
    glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz


2. binutils-2.14

   tar xvzf binutils-2.14.tar.gz
   cd binutils-2.14
   mkdir i386-linux
   cd i386-linux
   ../configure --target=i386-linux
   make
   make install


3. gcc-3.2.3

   tar xvzf gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz
   cd gcc-3.2.3
   cp $(ATTACHED t-linux file) gcc/config/
   mkdir i386-linux
   cd i386-linux
   ../configure --target=i386-linux --disable-shared --disable-threads \
	--with-headers=<path>/linux-2.4.x/include \
	--enable-languages=c
   make install

4. glibc-2.2.5

   tar xvzf glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz
   cd glibc-2.2.5
   tar xvzf glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5.tar.gz
   mkdir i386-linux
   cd i386-linux
   CC=i386-linux-gcc \
   AS=i386-linux-as \
   LD=i386-linux-ld \
   ../configure i386-linux \
	--with-headers=<path>/linux-2.4.x/include \
	--enable-add-ons --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/i386-linux
   make
   make install

5. gcc-3.2.3 (c++, etc)

   tar xvzf gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz
   cd gcc-3.2.3
   cp $(ATTACHED t-linux file) gcc/config/
   vi gcc/config/t-linux
     - remove "-Dinhibit_libc" -- all occruances
   mkdir i386-linux
   cd i386-linux
   ../configure --target=i386-linux --disable-shared \
	--with-headers=<path>/linux-2.4.x/include \
	--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-multilib
   perl -pi -e 's/int namelen/unsigned int namelen/' ../libjava/java/net/natInetAddress.cc
   make
   make install
