[Openembedded-users] gcc-4.2.4

[Pawel Osmialowski]

  Hello,

I'm using recently obtained OpenEmbedded for building system image for 
SH4 target. I desperately need to rebuild whole target system image with 
gcc-4.2.4. So far it builds cleanly with gcc-4.4.4. Unfortunately, I 
need to rebuild everything using 
binutils-2.18.50.0.8+gcc-4.2.4+glibc-2.6.1. So far I successfully 
downgraded binutils and everything is still building properly. 
Unfortunately, when I downgrade gcc, I can't build glibc: both current  
2.10.1 and old 2.6.1 fails sanity check at configure stage: it can't 
include limits.h. If my suspicion is right, it is caused by 
zecke-no-host-includes.patch introduced recently. When I remove this 
patch I'm running into worse troubles at later stages - I guess 
currently OpenEmbedded relies heavily on changes introduced in gcc-4.4.4 
that helps to maintain barrier between build host includes and build 
environment includes. Can you give me some clue what can I do with 
gcc-4.2.4 to make it work with OE? If it is not possible, can you give 
me some clue how can I get much older OE from the time of gcc-4.2.4? I 
assume this gcc version was used with more or less success by OE.

Cheers,
Paul
