<pre wrap="">Did you find that not having --host, setting AR & AS, and using

I was casting straws by this point. :) They seemed logical, and
[I'm assuming] don't hurt...<br>

2.22 should work as well. Eventually the online book will get updated...

I'll throw 2.22 in next pass...<br>

<pre wrap="">Possibly the branch_update and specs patches you applied previously
caused the softfloat patch to not apply cleanly. It applies cleanly
for me following the embedded book (which doesn't apply the
branch_update or specs patches).

In my case it WAS needed. gcc was failing configure with<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot
compute<br>
suffix of object files: cannot compile <br>
<br>
and one or more of the following fixed that completely. By that
point I was tired of seeing that particular error :) so just
shotgunned them all. I'm sure only one or two of them are needed.<br>

<pre wrap="">uClibc 0.9.32 should fix this. See git commit [2]. Use the
0.9.32-configs-1.patch [3] for it, I think there were a few small changes,
but maybe not... It's been a while. :)
