What is libiberty and what do i do to solve the problem.


details:


host : x86 : fedora core 3
target :ppc 8xx
steps:
1. built boot gcc (c only)
2. built glibc

3. presently compiling full gcc <<

versions:
binutils : 2.14
glibc: 2.2.5
gcc: 2.95.3


configured:
../gcc-2.95.3/configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=${PREFIX}
--enable-languages=c,c++

May I ask you why in the world you are compiling gcc, if you don't
PRECISELY know what you are doing?

Maybe because there is no package cross-compiler in any standard
distribution, no ?

libiberty is a library of helpers used by some GNU packages.
What seem to appear is that the libstdc++ subdirectory has not been
configured properly.
It can be because configure did not found the headers/librairies for the
PowerPC glibc...
I think you have to tell configure where to find the C library if you want
to be able to compile the full compiler. I'm sorry I don't remember the
exact option, but you'll find it in the gcc package documentation (there's
a doc explaining how to setup a cross compiler...).

Good point, but I expect that a person that starts the peril towards a
cross-compiling chain knows what he's doing. And my friend LinuxNovice
doesn't look that keen :)
