[gcj-eclipse-merge-branch] gcj-dbtool and cross-compilation

Tue Dec 5 02:50:00 GMT 2006

Hey, I've been on extended hiatus since before gcj-dbtool existed.
Forgive me if I'm just totally confused here.
How is gcj-dbtool supposed to play along with cross-compilation? It
runs as part of the build process, yet has $(EXEEXT) on it. This is a
bit confusing since AFAICT $(EXEEXT) is chosen by the target, not the
host.
It also appears that gcj-dbtool is written at least partly in Java,
meaning that a cross compile would need a host-to-host gcj in order to
finish the host-to-target libgcj build. I guess that's not such a bad
thing, but it might be good if it were made explicit that this is
necessary now...
