Cygwin: Cross tools segfaulting
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:03 am
Greetings,
I've been trying to get a proper OS-dev environment under Windows for a while now. The pre-built tools coming with cygwin always fail at the linking step with the infamous "PE operations on non-PE file problem".
So I tried building a cross-compiler, linker, etc by following the FAQ entry covering it--I did it for i686-elf, using binutils 2.17 and gcc, g++ 3.4.4. However, now I'm getting segfaults when linking, e.g.:
I get that no matter what output format I choose (binary or i386-elf, both reported by i686-elf-ld as "supported" targets).
Did anybody get this working with a specific bnutils/gcc version, and/or a build target?
Thanks
