 Marie | So I tried to build gcc with our flags outside of nix, which resulted in
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory
When I apply the same hack as we do here (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/dbfdaa1a1cef034a790d0287bdd885ee78ecb11c/pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/common/libgcc-buildstuff.nix#L6-L37), it results in the same error.
I was also to reproduce the same thing in a podman container running arch linux. | 18:38:21 |
 K900 | Yeah not going to happen, you need cc-wrapper for this | 18:38:44 |
| Marie | you mean to compile gcc? | 18:40:46 |

| Marie | I just used a nix-shell -p to try to build a cross binutils and gcc | 18:43:47 |
| Marie | that hack seems to work for ppc64 but not for 32 | 18:44:16 |
| Marie | i think i found a way to make it work, no idea if it makes stuff explode, but it makes stuff compile, will have another look tomorrow | 22:03:06 |
