I am currently building a cross-compiler targeting the PowerPC architecture. It is capable of building Linux binaries that work and can execute on the target, however I hit a problem when I enable the compiler flag "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2". I build a simple hello world application as so:
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
I compile this using my cross-compiler and get the following error:
$ powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 hello.c
In file included from /opt/crossgcc/powerpc-linux-gnu/include/stdlib.h:958:0,
from hello.c:2:
/opt/crossgcc/powerpc-linux-gnu/include/bits/stdlib.h: In function 'wctomb':
/opt/crossgcc/powerpc-linux-gnu/include/bits/stdlib.h:90:3: error: #error "Assumed value of MB_LEN_MAX wrong"
# error "Assumed value of MB_LEN_MAX wrong"
^
I believe this is because I am not bootstrapping my GCC build correctly, but as far as I can see I am building it correctly. The script I am taking to build my compiler are as follows:
#! /bin/bash
set -e

Am I incorrectly bootstrapping my GCC? Should I be doing something differently to make GCC "aware" of my glibc headers?
