GCC 5.1.0-4 cross compiler build fail

Question

I'm following the osdev.org bare metal tutorial, and I'm currently stuck at the cross compiler.! I'm building from an arch distro.

It looks like it might be a problem with isl. I think the tutorial is based on an older version of gcc, cloog, isl, etc, so after a few tries I started over with new sources and left cloog and isl out of the source files (the tutorial says they are optional).

Also, the tutorial says there are compatibility issues with some cloog and isl implementations. I didn't know if that is for the machine I'm building from or if it's for the target, so I only installed cloog on my host machine, which supposedly brought along its own embedded isl according to the cloog page. ! Am I supposed to still install another isl (probably 12.2?) for the build process? Is that even my problem? There are red herring errors in the log, so I'm not sure I'm right to focus on the libisl.so.13 error at line 100 of the log.

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by GNU C Runtime Library configure 1.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64.  Invocation command line was

This is the first time I haven't found my answer from searching, so sorry about any noobie poster problems.

Answer 1

My understanding is that gcc-5.x no longer requires CLooG. It's recommended that you use isl-0.14 available here or here. You might find the current (gcc-5.1) instructions at Linux from Scratch helpful. There are a lot of configure options, as you are no doubt aware, so it's difficult to know the best options for your build, particularly if you're building a 'stage 1' (freestanding) gcc.
