Always first do a "make clean all" before doing any kind of install. Directly doing a "make install" or "make crossinstall" without doing a regular "make all" first is not supported. Also, when building a cross-compiler, make sure that you start with a native compiler built from the same FPC revision, because when building a cross-compiler the native compiler will not be fully cycled first.

This is how I built my cross-compiler (ppn40 is a native i386 compiler):

make FPC=~/afshome/bin/ppn40 OPT="-dFPC_ARMEL" CROSSOPT="-XParm-linux-gnueabi- -FD/home/jmaebe/crosstest/bin -dFPC_ARMEL -Cfsoft -Xd -O2" CPU_TARGET=arm all -j 2

I don't understand what your COMPILER_OPTIONS parameter is for. The "cpufpemu" will be interpreted by the compiler as the name of a source file (and subsequently be overridden by the real source file that comes after it), and "-a" tells the compiler to leave the generated assembler files behind. You can just as well use OPT="-a".

To resolve problem from http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15312 about EABI binares (compiler says that is EABI, but its not EABI, -CaEABI and FPC_ARMEL are enable)

I try to build FPC for Target OS: Linux for ARMEL (as Jonas say)

But all try was wrong
CPU_TARGET=armel : not build
CPU_TARGET=armeb : build armeb-linux, but compiler target was arm-linux CPU_TARGET=arm CROSSOPT="-CaEABI -dFPC_ARMEL ... bug was present (notice tat only remove -CaEABI for good configuration)

no one options to receive target: Linux for ARMEL

this is good (mentioned bug goes off) configuration make crossinstall CPU_TARGET=arm OS_TARGET=linux
CROSSBINDIR=/home/darek2008/fpcarm/arm-linux-uclibc/bin CROSSOPT="-dFPC_ARMEL -CfSOFT -gl -O2"
INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/darek2008/fpcarm COMPILER_OPTIONS="cpufpemu -a"

I can't help with uclibc, I have a regular GNU toolchain. What kind of linker are you using? (what does "ld --version" write?)

the same as crossinstall build has success,

That's probably because it doesn't recompile everything, so it is just copying some old files.

Jonas

I always do this

No luck to build. Below last part of make:

I don't understand what your COMPILER_OPTIONS parameter is for. The "cpufpemu" will be interpreted by the compiler as the name of a source

that was drawn from net

file (and subsequently be overridden by the real source file that comes after it), and "-a" tells the compiler to leave the generated assembler files behind. You can just as well use OPT="-a".

Darek

I guess it's because you are using GNU ld 2.17. The built-in FPC linker script comes from GNU ld 2.18.

Jonas

I found the error

link.res should be so (its generic from compiler/systems/tlinux.pas):

/* Adjust the address for the data segment. We want to adjust up to the same address within the page on the next page up. */ . = ALIGN(0x8000) - ((0x8000 - .) & (0x8000 - 1)); . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (0x8000, 0x1000);
/* Exception handling */

I've it compare with my and codesourcery binutils

Darek

from toolchain
GNU ld version 2.17

Its not that case
