yann@2321
    52
    - So, what are those components in a toolchain?
yann@2321
    53
    - And now, how do all these components chained together?
yann@2321
    54
    - So the list is complete. But why does crosstool-NG have more steps?

    59
    - gcc is not found, although I *do* have gcc installed
yann@2385
    60
    - The extract and/or path steps fail under Cygwin
yann@2385
    61
    - uClibc fails to build under Cygwin
yann@2385
    62
    - On 64-bit build systems, the glibc (possibly eglibc too) build
yann@2385
    63
      fails for 64-bit targets, because it can not find libgcc
yann@2385
    64
    - While building the final gcc, I get an error message that ends with:
yann@2385
    65
        libtool.m4: error: problem compiling FC test program
yann@2385
    66
    - gcc barfs because it is "unable to detect the exception model"
yann@2385
    67
    - Installing the C library headers and start files fails because of
yann@2385
    68
      missing unwind support, with a message like:
yann@2385
    69
        configure: error: forced unwind support is required
