Trouble cross-compiling binutils - as-new.exe
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2023 8:09 am
I was following the GCC cross-compiler tutorial, but after configuring with:
Do note that I slightly deviated from the tutorial and added --build=i686-w64-mingw32 as otherwise it wouldn't work at all.
Then afting running make, it has decided to hang during the linking of gas/as-new.exe. I have been waiting for over half an hour on this one file, also virtually no recources are being used during this. Using make V=1 I have found that the exact command it is trying to excute is:
This is prefaced by the libtool command:
Does anyone here know why this is taking this long and/or what I have done wrong? I'd love to hear your ideas.
