error in Toolchain build for ARM
 

hey,

i am new to linux. while building toolchain for ARM, i encountered an error.

i am using :
binutils-2.16.tar.gz
linux-2.6.10.tar.gz
2.6.10-at91.patch.gz
26_at91_serial.c.gz
glibc-2.3.5.tar.gz
ioperm.c.diff (a patch file)
glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.5.tar.gz
gcc-3.4.4.tar.bz2
flow.c.diff (a patch file)
t-linux.diff ( a patch file)

i have done till gcc stage1 build. i am following the steps from here: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/toolchain/

To be more precise, while building glibc, that is when i type :

make install_root=${SYSROOT} install

the following error comes.

LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C; export LANGUAGE LC_ALL; \

please help.
thanks in advance

I suggest that you heed the advice in the first line of text in the link you referenced: 'don't roll my own toolchains anymore. It's just too much trouble'. He gives a link to one source of toolchains, and I would add to that Crosstool-NG, where they've taken all the fun out it, and crafted a fine tool to create cross toolchains for a substantial matrix of targets and build hosts. There is an active and friendly mailing list to provide assistance, or to accept your input.

theNbomr solutions would probably work just fine.
However I can also see you have a patch for AT91, so I suppose you use Atmel MCU. If that's correct, you could build your toolchain, kernel and rootfs with the instructions given at http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/vi...4SAM/BuildRoot
