Compiling GNU Common C++ for ARM CPU & Linux

[Conrad T. Pino]

* Install an ARM & Linux cross compile tool set.  Mine is:

debzfp:~$ ls /opt/cross/bin
arm-linux-addr2line  arm-linux-gcc        arm-linux-objdump
arm-linux-ar         arm-linux-gcc-3.3.2  arm-linux-ranlib
arm-linux-as         arm-linux-gccbug     arm-linux-readelf
arm-linux-c++        arm-linux-gcov       arm-linux-size
arm-linux-c++filt    arm-linux-ld         arm-linux-strings
arm-linux-cpp        arm-linux-nm         arm-linux-strip
arm-linux-g++        arm-linux-objcopy
debzfp:~$ 

* The cross compile tool set bin directory must be in PATH:

export PATH=/opt/cross/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

* Run GNU Common C++ configure script with --host option
value that matches cross compile tool set program prefix:

./configure --host=arm-linux

* Make the library:

make

* Check the output products:
