[oe] Error during Enigma2 compilation

[Mario Latronico]

Hi,

I tried OpenEmbedded recently to test some application on Dreambox
7025. I'm particulary interested in Enigma2, the software that
controls the dreambox gui.
However, when i try to compile Enigma2 with the command

bitbake enigma2

the following error comes out:

-------------------------------
It seems i have an old compiler, even if mipsel-linux-gcc has version
4.1.1 (the INSTALL file requires gcc > 3.2)

Another question: i have already (and correctly) compiled glibc-2.3.5.
How can i set enigma2 dependency to glibc-2.3.5 ?
I've seen that the package enigma2 doesn't depend directly on glibc,
how can i find the dependency ?

Thank you in advance !!!
