(Please CC me on replies. Thank you.)

I did a cross build of hp700 using Linux/i386 as the build system. I will
try to test the hp700 out soon after I build a kernel (I have a couple HP
systems here)!

Here are some of my comments:

1) lex not available for tools/binutils/build. My workaround was to set
LEX=/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/bin/nblex (This is already salo's PR #
toolchain/29197.)

2) My cc is installed using pkgsrc and is not at /usr/bin/. So
HOST_CC=/usr/gcc3/bin/cc. This is not a real problem.

3) tools/file build needs a C++ preprocessor. So I defined
CXXCPP=/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/bin/hppa--netbsd-cpp
I hope that is okay. Maybe I should have set to my /usr/gcc3/bin/cpp?

Anyways, should this be set automatically? (Probably not since in tools.)

4) tools/groff needs C++. So I set
HOST_CXX=/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/bin/hppa--netbsd-c++ (since I had
done similar with cpp above). But that still failed with:

/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/lib/gcc-lib/hppa--netbsd/3.3.3/../../../../hppa--n
etbsd/bin/ld: crt0.o: No such file: No such file or directory

So I used HOST_CXX=/usr/gcc3/bin/c++ and that worked.

(I guess native c++ should not be used for making tools.)

5) gnu/usr.bin/gcc3/backend also needed a cc. So I did:

--- gnu/usr.bin/gcc3/backend/Makefile	12 Jun 2004 14:57:57 -0000	1.16
+++ gnu/usr.bin/gcc3/backend/Makefile	10 Feb 2005 21:10:54 -0000

 			--host=`${HOST_SH} ${.CURDIR}/../../../dist/gcc/config.guess` \


That worked to build. But maybe I should have used:
CC=${TOOLDIR}/bin/${whatever}-gcc (to get my tools/hppa--netbsd/bin/gcc).

By the way, why are there duplicates files like tools/hppa--netbsd/bin/gcc
and tools/bin/hppa--netbsd-gcc?

My final command line is:

HOST_CXX=/usr/gcc3/bin/c++
CXXCPP=/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/bin/hppa--netbsd-cpp
HOST_CC=/usr/gcc3/bin/cc LEX=/home/reed/netbsd/hp700/tools/bin/nblex
./build.sh -D ~/netbsd/hp700/build -O ~/netbsd/hp700/obj -T
~/netbsd/hp700/tools -m hp700 -U -u build

Now I am doing same with kernel=GENERIC ...
